The International Health Service

[Doc Alan]

You're off topic ( Andy ) this threads about Health Tourism.

Not really off topic Ded.

The title was The International Health Service. Almost 99% of it is Four Nations National Health Service.

It's vital to keep the issue in perspective, in my humble opinion as a retired non-GP with a passionate interest in health .

Sort out Health Tourism by whatever means possible !

But far greater savings could be made in other fields of healthcare without sacrificing quality. That could include greater personal responsibility for health by lifestyle choices, but I never judge those choices, merely try to offer free help and advice based on my experience .

Quite right Doc - I'm not so sure about Four Nations it seems more like United Nations to me

I'd be interested to hear what systems, checks and rules are in place in other countries (where healthcare is largely public funded) to prevent Health Tourism
