Book Offers New Choices for Patients as US Healthcare Crisis
Deepens
CHAPEL HILL, N.C.–(EMWNews)–Healthy Travel Media, publishers of Patients
Beyond Borders: Everybody’s Guide
to Affordable, World-Class Medical Tourism, today announced
publication of the updated and expanded Second Edition of the
world’s best-selling consumer guide to
international medical and health travel.
This impartial, easy-to-navigate trade paperback now gives health
travelers more than 400 pages of medical travel destinations, resources,
and advice they need in order to make safe, cost-effective decisions
about traveling abroad for their healthcare.
“We’re pleased to
have added several new destinations to the Second Edition,
including Israel, Jordan, South Korea, New Zealand, Panama, the
Philippines, Taiwan, and Turkey,” says Josef
Woodman, author of Patients Beyond Borders. “US
healthcare costs will rise yet another 6% in 2008, and another
half-million are expected to hit the ranks of the uninsured. Patients
Beyond Borders has helped thousands travel abroad successfully for
medical care, and the Second Edition now offers patients even
greater choice.”
As the number of uninsured and underinsured Americans continues to grow,
travel abroad for treatment is rising dramatically, with international
hospitals and clinics reporting 15–40%
increases in the number of Americans seeking treatment. More than
180,000 Americans will cross borders for healthcare this year; and that
number is expected to nearly double by 2010.
International patients considering travel to particular destinations
will now have five country-specific editions to choose from as well.
With the upcoming releases of Patients Beyond Borders: Taiwan Edition (August
2008), Patients Beyond Borders: India Edition (September 2008),
Patients Beyond Borders: Singapore Second Edition (November 2008),
Patients Beyond Borders: Korea Edition (November 2008), and
Patients Beyond Borders: Malaysia Edition (Spring 2009), medical
travelers will have access to in-depth information on accredited
hospitals, clinics, and specialty centers in their preferred destination.
