Health tourism contributes to the spread of the coronavirus.

Within eight months, COVID-19 (also known as the coronavirus), an undetectable, microscopic monster, has murdered about 600,000 people and reverberated throughout the world. It has also had a negative impact on the Turkish health tourism industry, which we’ve heard a lot about in recent years, as it affects every sector.

Turkey’s tourism industry is heavily reliant on the lucrative field of health tourism. I’m going to tell you about a sector in our country that has been growing steadily since 2010, but then slowed down due to the events in Syria and the epidemic.

There are many people who travel from their home country to a foreign country in order to receive medical treatment.

There are three main types of health tourism.

Aesthetic and opthalmology, IVF, and dialysis treatments are examples of medical tourism (Medical Tourism).

Elderly and Non-Disabled Third Age Tourism

Pre-virus, every government was interested in the sector because it adds value in Turkey and around the world. Statistics show that health tourism’s market share is 500 billion dollars higher than that of general tourism, which accounted for 3.5 trillion dollars. This newly established sector generated more revenue than any other form of tourism. This explains why 3–4 percent of the global population travels annually. This industry grows at a rate of 25% per year. In order to obtain a piece of this pie, nations with limited economies have reorganized their national policy. By offering health tourism as a source of economic development with a reasonable price guarantee, these nations began to acquire a substantial market share. Specifically, East and South Asia (India, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, and Thailand) and South America (Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, and Mexico) have flourished in this region.

By establishing the necessary legislation and incentives, we became one of the first nations to recognize the importance of health tourism. From 2010 to 2016, we advanced into the top ten. In its program for 2023, the government set a target of 2 million health tourists and $20 billion in revenue. Similar to the tourism industry, health institutions, organizations, and health tourism companies started competing on the basis of price rather than quality, resulting in a decrease in the amount of foreign currency entering the country.

Unfortunately, the occupation of Syria with all sorts of games and the war that spread to the northern half of Iraq as a result of this occupation transformed this unique geography, which is the largest source of patients in our country, from a health tourism basin to a mass refugee source, which is extremely unfortunate in the field of national health. It has turned our accounts and sectoral balances upside down by inverting our revenue and cost balances.

Due to this war that occurred in close proximity to us, our country has begun to be mentioned in war geography, conflicts have emerged from the perspective of patients on the European market, another source of our patients, on the grounds of security, and the number of health tourists from Europe has also decreased.

The patient initiates health tourism as a form of service acquisition. The patient desires assurance in two key aspects of this service procurement, namely that he will be responsible for his own fees and travel-related challenges. The patient values the quality of health care as well as the protection of life and property.

Then, eight months ago, when the coronavirus epidemic broke out in December 2019 and countries blocked their borders, health tourism ground to a halt.

When we look back, the achievements of our country, which adorned the first ten years of the last fifteen years with its efforts and successes to become a star in service quality, have vanished one by one due to the cyclical manipulations of foreign focus in the remaining five years and the gradual loss of our image as a safe country due to the government’s failure to take timely action. Despite this, our country’s performance in combating the epidemic has demonstrated that our hospitals and healthcare community are among the best in the world, despite the fact that some countries claim Turkey’s numbers are low.

Therefore, my personal opinion and hope is that the virus does not intend to harm its host, i.e., the infected individual. When he causes his own demise, he also perishes. Because of this, I believe it will change into a form that can coexist with humans.

In light of the fact that health tourists abroad have passed the examinations administered by our health institutions before the crisis, I am hopeful that demand will increase after the crisis.

As a result of promotion and lobbying efforts abroad, we expect our health tourism agencies, health institutions and organizations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to experience an upward trend in health tourism, similar to that of tourism.
