摘要

医疗旅游是指病人离开原籍国或居住国前往国外接受医疗服务的做法。出境医疗旅游是尼日利亚的一种现象,从而促进了目的地国家医疗保健行业的增长。本文考察了出境游对尼日利亚公共卫生保健发展的影响,并强调了尼日利亚联邦政府对该国卫生部门进行重组和重新定位的必要性,以实现有效和高效的卫生服务提供。本研究采用二手数据来源。关注将尼日利亚转变为医疗旅游吸引中心的公共行政人员和保健从业人员可能会认为,首先应审查本研究中提出的问题,以便为卫生部门启动一个良好的政策框架。该研究的结论是,对卫生部门的巨额投资可以大大减少出境医疗旅游,使所有尼日利亚人都负担得起卫生保健服务,并利用外汇发展尼日利亚经济的其他相关部门。

Implications of Outbound Medical Tourism on Public Health Care Development in Nigeria
Medical tourism is the practice of patients travelling out of their country of origin or residence for the purpose of getting access to medical care services abroad. Outbound medical tourism is a phenomenon in Nigeria thereby contributing to the growth of the health care industry in destination countries. The paper examines the implications of outbound medical tourism on public health care development in Nigeria and reinforces the need for the Federal Government of Nigeria to restructure and reposition the health sector in the country towards effective and efficient health service delivery. The study employs secondary source of data. Public administrators and health care practitioners concerned about transforming Nigeria into a centre of medical tourist attraction may find it suitable to start by examining the issues raised in this study to initiate a good policy framework for the health sector. The study concludes that huge investment in the health sector can drastically reduce outbound medical tourism, make health care services affordable to all Nigerians and utilising foreign exchange to develop other relevant sectors of the Nigerian economy.
