Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health
  • Global Health

Background:

  • International travel for healthcare services (medical tourism) is increasing.
  • This trend presents significant risks of serious infectious complications.
  • Published evidence on these complications is evolving.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent evidence on infectious complications associated with medical tourism.
  • To highlight the growing risks and challenges.
  • To inform healthcare professionals and public health bodies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on medical tourism-related infections over the last 18 months.
  • Analysis of reported cases and outbreaks.
  • Synthesis of current evidence on infectious complications.

Main Results:

  • An increase in reported infectious complications in patients receiving healthcare abroad.
  • Associated morbidity includes prolonged illness, repeated treatments, and fatalities.
  • Notable outbreaks include fungal meningitis linked to cosmetic surgery in Mexico, with severe cerebrovascular complications and deaths, and infections by nontuberculous mycobacteria and Candida species.

Conclusions:

  • Medical tourism expansion necessitates increased awareness of infectious risks among healthcare professionals.
  • Recommendations for managing these infections are needed.
  • A standardized system for reporting complications in patients who received healthcare abroad is essential.
