Drawing on recently published foreign literature,this paper comprehensively analyses the research status of medical tourism from the concept of decision-making factors and risks for tourists,as well as the impacts of medical tourism. For future research,it proposes a greater focus on medical tourists,caregiver-companions and medical tourism facilitators. To promote the development of Chinese medical tourism,a development model must be constructed,international medical services,consummate policies,and regulations must be in place,and medical tourism personnel must be trained and welcomed.
