Setting Up Codes
Medical tourism might have made health care more affordable, but at a cost. Patients opting to go abroad for cheaper treatment were doing so at their own risk. Now with the setting up of The International Healthcare Facilitators Association (TIHFA), which will initiate regulations and guidelines for health care facilitators (HCFs), and their affiliated hospitals, and physicians perhaps they are not so much at risk.
TIHFA's objectives are sound enough. It aims at minimizing risks associated with any medical-related industry and improves and regulates the quality of HCFs. It will lay down strict codes of conduct and a financial bond will be required to become a member of the organization.
The setting up of THIFA should bring in some legality into the field of medical tourism where very often ethics seems to have become defunct.
