During the class reporting in our Public Investment and Economic Development subject, one of the groups presented about collaboration between countries in offering medical services. A developing country will offer the land, infrastructure and labour while the developed country will offer the expertise and most of the financing. This known as medical tourism which caters mostly to older people from developed countries that are looking for cheaper medical care than in their home countries. So it is not surprising that people go to Thailand for plastic surgery while others go for spine surgery Mexico. The Philippines has also been trying to look into how it can benefit from this medical tourism phenomenon considering that it has been importing thousands of nurses, doctors and care givers over the years. If it can offer better pay for these medical and support personnel then these people would not need to go abroad to work.
