Abstracts

More countries plan to bring in universal healthcare but fewer can afford to pay for universal state healthcare out of government funds.

So they have or are bringing in one or more of these-

• State health insurance.
• Compulsory health insurance using insurers.
• Compulsory travel health insurance for visitors.

This report looks are where each of the 180 countries are now, and what their future plans are on a simple country-by -country basis. For some countries, there are different rules for locals, expatriates, students and travellers.

This is not a historic look or academic discussion of the subject-but a bang up to date look at where we are now and where we are going in 2016 and beyond. This is targeted at insurers, intermediaries, consultants, assistance groups and others who need to understand what is happening globally.

The author -Ian Youngman-collects this information for his annual reports

• Medical tourism facts and figures 2016
• International and expatriate healthcare and insurance 2016

Both reports will contain all of this information-and the 2016 versions will be on sale soon for £1299 each but for organisations that want just the database information-it is available as this new stand-alone report.

This report does not include details of optional private health insurance or insurers, medical tourism, expatriate numbers or other background sections in the annual medical tourism and international health insurance reports.
