| Gute Reise! Gute Besserung? ("Have a Good Trip! Get Well Soon?") The Big Business with Health Tourism Reportage by Wolfgang Luck (33 min. + Bonustracks, 16:9) Camera: Rainer Friedrich Sound: Martin Geissmann, Editing: Karl-Heinz Satzger, Music: Andy Hemholz Production: a & o buero Landeszentrale für politische Bildung NRW |
Ailing health care systems, long waiting times for expensive surgeries in USA and Europe: the alluring solution is to care for the patients in low-cost countries. The film shows exemplary in Thailand how the future of health care could look like. But some questions are unexplained: what if something goes wrong? Who makes the money with health tourism? Is it even ethical to practice high-tech-medicine in poor countries for rich patients? |
