Seriously!
Is it the health-care
providers (me) that
are the problem?
or is it our health-care
system that sucks?
Need to learn the ‘good, the bad and ugly’
from the medical tourism industry…
and its social, economic and
political impact on society.

happening

WHY
TRAVEL
ABROAD?

It’s not only about cost.
It’s not only about cost.
It’s about access,
quality, service and…
for the diaspora or ‘expats’
it’s familiarity.

WHAT ABOUT
COMMERCIALISED
MEDICINE?
‘PANDORA’S BOX’
‘EARLY TO BED,
EARLY TO RISE,
WORK LIKE HELL
AND ADVERTISE’
B J Palmer Selling Yourself 1926
Commercialisation of cosmetic surgery
threatens our efforts to convince the public
that medicine is not a commodity or a trade.
Advertising and PR boost demand for cosmetic surgery.
Appeals to dominant cultural values of youth, beauty,
sexuality, status, happiness and control.
Exploit’s people’s anxieties and fantasies. It personalises
the problem of perceived appearance imperfections.
It emphasises positive outcomes and
downplays the pain and risks of medical
intervention.
Claims of expertise, ease, safety and desirable outcomes
are occasionally exaggerated to the point of
misrepresentation to increase sales.
Sometimes prospective patients are persuaded to expand
their perception of their appearance problems…
This raises ethical questions about the exploitation of
vulnerable patients by those who have the fiduciary
responsibility to act in patient’s best interests.
Sometimes they are pressured to commit to surgery by
offers of discounts for an immediate decision or for
multiple procedures.
PROBLEMS WITH COMMERCIAL,
FREE-MARKET DELIVERY SYSTEM.
1. Deregulation of marketing has made cosmetic surgery a
lucrative business, dependent on marketing.
2. Minimal state regulation of surgery in private office
facilities.
3. Lax oversight of individual doctors’ practices by their own
licensure boards.
It leads to certain challenges…
SERVICE ETHIC
CHALLENGED
Unlike a commercial trade, medicine
has a service ethic that prohibits the
exploitation of patients for profit.
Unlike a commercial trade, medicine
has a service ethic that prohibits the
exploitation of patients for profit.
The foundation of trust
characterises a good patient-
doctor relationship.
AUTHORITY
CHALLENGED
Media give a public voice to patients who question
their personal doctor’s competence and ethics.
AUTONOMY
CHALLENGED
Doctors’ autonomy rests on their
experience and their fiduciary
relationship with patients, a
relationship that is strained by the
emphasis on profit that is inherent in
commercialism.
‘Knowing when to stop in
surgery is a hard lesson to
learn. Knowing when to
begin may be even
harder.’
2.
Addressing
some risks
Patient Safety
Patient Safety
Patients are more savvy.
Providers paid for selling services &
procedures, not necessarily improve health.
Facilitators promote these services.
Medical Tourism: An Australian Plastic Surgeon's Perspective
Should problems arise, there may be few
if any legal remedies to address them.
Threat to Public
Health Systems
Cosmetic surgery holidays revealed
a shocking 16.5% complication rate
with nearly 1 in 10 (9%) patients
needing assistance from the NHS
when arriving home.
Study Leeds University 2013
Public health system stretched even further.
Price increase in both
public & private sectors.
Cross-Border
Spread of Diseases
Singapore’s 1st case of drug resistant
TB (XDR-TB) arrived from Indonesia.
Ebola alert in Queensland with several patients quarantined
after arriving from West Africa with fever.
CRICKEY!

Story of medical
tourism…
VICTIM
Patient
Patient
Sold hope for happiness.
Poor outcomes downplayed.
Little recourse if something
goes wrong.
Doctor
Opposed deregulated restrictions
on marketing professional services.
Most practice responsibly.
Few corrupted by profits from
commercialised medicine.
VILLAIN
Appearance
Appearance
Stereotypic expectations
& different treatment.
Diminish less attractive people’s
opportunities & contribution to society.
It’s a lose-lose outcome
Commercialisation
of medicine
To understand what makes commercialism
in medicine problematic…
Commercialism is an ‘excessive emphasis
on profit’ and ‘exploit for profit.’
Synonymous with ‘average or inferior
quality’ and refers to something that is
‘designed for a large market’ and
‘supported by advertisers.’
Webster’s Dictionary
Advertising can be used to create a
perception of ‘need’ that can be
exploited for profit.
‘CAVEAT EMPTOR’
(BUYER BEWARE)
LET’S RECAP…
MEDICAL
TOURISM IS
EVOLVING
BUT
SCARY!
We can’t afford to be
naive about things
anymore.
Commercialisation of cosmetic surgery threatens our
efforts to convince the public that medicine is not a
commodity or a trade.
but a few doctors have
exposed themselves…
as profit driven.
We’re not the
only ones.
We’re not the
only ones.
Governments and medical
tourism companies have a
lot to answer for…
Whilst medical tourism provides
revenue source for national economies,
it may disrupt domestic public health
systems by redirecting scarce resources
to the private sector.
Globally there’s promise of exchange
opportunities and resources but also
perhaps the dissemination of problems
most notably infectious diseases.
Inadequate oversight and regulation
of this medical tourism industry makes
it more difficult to identify and address
such problems. Documentation of
medical travel is haphazard and
fragmentary.
Need to fight back and
deliver a bigger punch.
Need to figure a way we can compete in
this ‘global health bazaar.’

SCORECARD COMPARISON
We need to renew and reinvigorate our
campaign both here and abroad.
How and why Australia is a destination country
of choice for quality cosmetic surgery.
We should try and make Australia both
a departure and destination point for
medical travellers.
Spread the word now…
GO ON!!!
But remember…
the problems arising abroad from
medical tourism can equally apply here
in Australia. Be careful what you ask for!
