[csaa-forum] healthcare tourism

[Meredith Jones]

Hello, 

Does anyone know of work that has been done on healthcare tourism - any discipline - specifically to do with Australia?  I am looking for research about Australians who travel overseas or interstate for medical treatment, and/or about people who travel to Australia for medical treatment.  The definition of 'medical treatment' can be as broad as you wish, from hip replacements to penis enlargements.
