“…Also in our study, the students' knowledge was higher about medical tourism among all types of health tourism industry, which may be rooted in the fact that the other types are less advanced than medical tourism in Iran, especially due to cultural and religious issues. 26 Similar to our study, a research by Malik et Moreover, student's age between 25 and 35 are reported to have higher knowledge in our study, which may be the result of having a higher level of education.

Background and AimsHealth tourism is already one of the most important sources of revenue for many countries all over the world, but it appears that it has not progressed as much in Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of students of Iranian medical sciences universities about this subject, which could have a great impact on the future of this industry in Iran.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional study, the students of medical sciences universities in Iran were selected through convenience sampling; they filled out an online 36‐item self‐administrated questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 25). Descriptive statistics of knowledge and attitude were provided. Also, independent samples t‐test and analysis of variance were used as statistical tests and p value <0.05 was considered as the significant level.ResultsOverall, 390 students with a mean age of 24 ± 1.5 years and a female‐to‐male ratio of 1.9 participated in this study. The respondents answered 38% of the questions correctly in the knowledge section. Age, ethnicity, education level, job experience, experience of a health tourism‐related job, participation in health tourism courses, and geographical region of the province of residence showed a significant association with the participants' knowledge. Also, most participants had an almost positive attitude regarding the potential for development of the industry.ConclusionAccording to the results obtained, the students' knowledge about health tourism was not desirable; however, their attitudes were almost positive. Therefore, educational interventions are highly recommended to be conducted in this regard.

This challenge can be addressed by expanding cultural awareness and developing training programs for employees to deal with cultural differences and local customs of tourists (Izadi et al, 2013).…”

Investments in Indian Medical Tourism (MT) have been growing at a greater rate than the global standards. However, unfortunately, Indian legislations have not managed to keep pace with this phenomenal growth, and have thereby been lacking in forming specific amendments, coupled with both preventive and compensative decrees.Moreover, safety and security have emerged as an aggregated inter-web of complex multi-dimensional components, encompassing aspects such as "public and personal data safety," "legal protection of tourists," "consumers" "protection," and so on. The internet has affected "data integration," "storage," "exchange" exposing thereby the possibilities of security breaches. All of these, in amalgamation, call for elevating the overall hygiene of India's growing medical tourism industry. Based upon this backdrop, this study looks into the theories of security, privacy, and consumerism, and the need for preventive cybercrime laws in India's medical tourism sector, especially considering several technical vulnerabilities that do exist. In this endeavor, I reviewed and analyzed journals and government policies, and have looked to identify some of the fallacies and gaps. Additionally, I also attempted to identify some of the needs that exist in MT's cybersecurity space, both within the Indian and international contexts.
