          Abstract

          Resumen En un contexto globalizado, donde el mundo convencional se expande a lo virtual, se desarrolla un análisis ético y jurídico del turismo médico en Colombia mediante la identificación de riesgos potenciales en la instrumentalización comunicativa. La oferta y demanda de cirugía estética acompañada del marketing, como un reflejo del deseo, lo bello y el maquillaje, promueven tensiones éticas latentes. La incertidumbre jurídica que gravita alrededor del flujo transfronterizo e indeterminación de los distintos sistemas jurídicos exterioriza varios frentes susceptibles de abordaje y que a su vez se erigen como desafíos. El trasfondo de las reflexiones que se divisan hace imprescindible reivindicar prerrogativas fundamentales, inherentes a los seres humanos, que parecen desvanecerse ante inserciones cada vez más frecuentes y penetrantes provenientes de realidades construidas y enraizadas en el vaivén de los precios.

          Resum En un context globalitzat, on el món convencional s'expandeix al virtual, es desenvolupa una anàlisi ètica i jurídica del turisme mèdic a Colòmbia mitjançant la identificació de riscos potencials en la instrumentalització comunicativa. L'oferta i demanda de cirurgia estètica acompanyada del màrqueting, com un reflex del desig, el bell i el maquillatge, promouen tensions ètiques latents. La incertesa jurídica que gravita al voltant del flux transfronterer i indeterminació dels diferents sistemes jurídics exterioritza diversos fronts susceptibles d'abordatge i que al seu torn s'erigeixen com a desafiaments. El rerefons de les reflexions que s'albiren fa imprescindible reivindicar prerrogatives fonamentals, inherents als éssers humans, que semblen esvair-se davant insercions cada vegada més freqüents i penetrants provinents de realitats construïdes i arrelades en el vaivé dels preus.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract In a globalized context, where the conventional world expands into the virtual, an ethical and legal analysis of medical tourism in Colombia is developed through identifying potential risks via communicative instrumentalization. The supply and demand for cosmetic surgery along with the associated marketing, as it reflects on desire, beauty, and makeup, promote latent ethical tensions. The legal uncertainty that gravitates around the cross-border flow and the indeterminacy within the different legal systems externalizes on several fronts that should be addressed and which in turn pose challenges. The background of the reflections that can be seen make it essential to claim fundamental prerogatives, inherent to humanity, which seem to vanish when presented with the frequent and penetrating insertions coming from realities built and rooted in the fluctuations of prices.

            Does Medical Tourism Promote Economic Growth? A Cross-Country Analysis

            In recent years, many countries have been actively promoting medical tourism to stimulate economic growth. However, the expansion of medical tourism has potentially detrimental effects for the welfare of host countries. In particular, a decline in workers’ productivity could arise as a result of a reduction in public health care provision due to the expansion of the medical tourism sector. By addressing the crowding-out effect on labor productivity, this paper sheds light on the economic impacts of medical tourism on host countries. Our empirical analysis confirms that medical tourism, on average, has a positive effect on host economies’ output growth, particularly in non-OECD countries. Nonetheless, the output contribution of medical tourism is overestimated by an average of 26.8% if the unfavorable indirect productivity effect is not taken into account.
