LTMedicinos turizmas šiuolaikiniame pasaulyje tampa svarbia ūkio šaka, jo plėtra aktuali ir Lietuvos ekonominiam, socialiniam bei kultūriniam gyvenimui. Lietuvos medicinos turizmo plėtrai yra objektyvios sąlygos: geografinė padėtis, unikali gamta ir švelnus klimatas, gydomieji gamtos ištekliai, senos kurortinio gydymo tradicijos bei aukštos kvalifikacijos specialistai. Tačiau Lietuvoje esant tokioms palankioms plėtros sąlygoms ši ūkio šaka visapusiškai neišnaudojama, taigi atsiliekama nuo pirmaujančių šioje srityje šalių. Todėl plėtojant medicinos turizmą, būtina numatyti atrinktų prioritetinių inovacinių pokyčių diegimą, reitinguojant siūlomas alternatyvas.
