“…Turkey's ‘health campus’ projects appear to be targeted as much at competing for international medical travel as at meeting the needs of domestic communities (Rosca, ). Similar state government initiatives in India have incentivized large healthcare complexes (‘medicities’), some located in special economic zones, to attract healthcare tourists (Murray et al., ).…”

Financialization is promoted by alliances of multilateral 'development' organizations, national governments and owners and institutions of private capital. In the healthcare sector, the leveraging of private sources of finance is widely argued as necessary to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 3 target of universal health coverage. Employing social science perspectives on financialization, the authors of this article contend that this is a new phase of capital formation. The article traces the antecedents, institutions, instruments and ideas that facilitated the penetration of private capital in this sector, and the emergence of new asset classes that distinguish it. The authors argue that this deepening of financialization represents a fundamental shift in the organizing principles for healthcare systems, with negative implications for health and equality.

“…The first sign of state entrepreneurialism in medical tourism was the launch of the city hospitals in 2015. Other countries had already experimented with the PPP model (Murray et al, 2016). In the Turkish version, it was a consortium of private contractors that undertook the construction of large hospital complexes and agreed to operate them in collaboration with the public sector for 25 years.…”

Examining medical tourism, especially in countries with publicly funded and organised healthcare systems, offers a gateway into an understanding of the changing role of the state in contemporary societies. Drawing on a comprehensive documentary review, this article examines the evolving role of the state in transforming Turkey into a global medical tourism destination. The article identifies two stages of state involvement in medical tourism: the period after the 2003 healthcare reform and the rise of an entrepreneurial healthcare state since 2013. The article suggests that the state, in the first period, performed a facilitator role by supporting privatisation in healthcare provision; in the second period, it assumed an entrepreneurial role, establishing large hospital complexes through a public-private partnership and created a public corporation to capitalise on the export of healthcare services. The Turkish case demonstrates that the role of the state in medical tourism is subject to change over time, depending on shifts in governmental strategies for healthcare and government-business relations. The article also offers evidence on the continued relevance of the multidimensional engagement of the state in healthcare that cuts across economic and social policy commitments. This engagement has recently extended into the domain of healthcare provision in the context of medical tourism.

Transnational medical travel, widely quoted as medical combines health care with leisure travel. Asia-Pacific is the leading contributor to the global market revenue in medical tourism and the global turnover is expected cross over USD 31.21 billion by 2026. With protracted and expensive visa and medical services patients seek sophisticated but inexpensive healthcare unavailable in their country. These issues are capitalized by many developing and developed countries like Thailand, India, Malaysia and Singapore by the virtue of their marked cost differentials, economical airfare, advanced medical care, favourable health care infrastructures, destination competitiveness, service quality, travel and entertainment facilities, making them a popular medical destination.
