- Abstract
The aim of this study is to identify the problems that physicians face with tourists in the context of medical tourism. In order to identify the problems, a qualitative research method was chosen. The research was carried out with physicians who serve health tourists in Istanbul and also own clinics or polyclinics. The reason why Istanbul was chosen is that it is one of the most preferred cities by health tourists. A structured interview form was used as a data collection tool. The data obtained from the face-to-face interviews with the physicians were subjected to descriptive analysis. It was found that the physicians and health tourists experience problems caused by the excessive number of companions, communication with patients and their relatives, delays in appointments, and cultural differences.
