This is a funded project that aims to develop a trans-national, trans-disciplinary understanding of children's medical tourism.  Children's medical tourism is "the bi-directional movement of children (less than 18 years of age) to and from a country to seek advice, diagnosis and treatments". The distinctively international nature of children's medical tourism demands an international research base to understand the scale and extent of the phenomenon and competing questions it raises in different jurisdictions.

This project seeks to:

• Develop an expanding network of academics and practitioners with an interest in children's medical tourism with apresence in Africa, Asia, North and South America, Europe and Oceania.


• To bring to light aspects of the many questions that children's medical tourism raises in international law, philosophy and bioethics, social science and the provision of healthcare that may not be apparent in a single national context.


• To improve the diversity, inclusivity and coherence of research into children's medical tourism
