Abstract

Recently, in increasing numbers, citizens of wealthy nations are heading to poorer countries for medical care. They are traveling to the global South as medical tourists because in their home nations either they cannot get timely medical care or they cannot afford needed treatments. This essay offers a robust, particularist ethical assessment of the practice of citizens of richer nations traveling to poorer countries for healthcare.

摘要

最近，越来越多的富裕国家的公民前往较贫穷的国家寻求医疗服务。他们作为医疗游客前往全球南方国家，因为在自己的国家，他们要么无法及时获得医疗服务，要么无法负担所需的治疗费用。本文对富裕国家公民前往较贫穷国家寻求医疗保健的做法进行了有力的、特殊主义的伦理评估。
