Can it be Sustainable?

A joint Research Project between WSU and FCU.

A short survey has been designed to gather information from individuals who have traveled abroad for medical tourism.  Phase one of the study is complete and we have a manuscript published. Readers are invited to participate in the NEW Survey.
