Funded Activity Summary

Medical travel in Asia: Therapeutic quests for hearts and hips. This project is of relevance to Australia not only as a source country of medical tourists seeking services overseas but as a country increasingly concerned to market its services in the region. An empirical study of this trade will provide greater understanding of the social impact of medical travel for our citizens. As an ageing population, it is expected that increased numbers of Australians may choose to pursue such treatments in the region. This study will contribute to Research Priority Four through a better economic, social and political understanding of our region. It will enhance Australia's international reputation for scholarship in the social sciences.
