Dear Reader,
Medical tourism is potentially big business in Asia, and is expected to grow from about US$0.5 billion now to US$4 billion by 2012. But for investors, the sector looks very expensive, with valuations about 40 percent higher than their counterparts in North America and Europe. Shares of Southeast Asian hospital firms such as Raffles Medical and Thailand's Bumrungrad Hospital have soared to record highs this year, as regional economies flourish and as governments throughout stress the need to develop a thriving medical tourism industry.
In this issue we bring you more details on medical tourism focused on stem cell therapy and other major medical tourism events happening around the globe.
