Aim: This study was conducted in order to systematically collect existing articles and describe and analyze the different fields of medical tourism including the definitions of medical tourisms, motivations of medical tourists, marketing in medical tourism, and ethical issues in medical tourism and its impact on the health system.Methods: The current systematic review followed the principles of the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews” guideline. all manuscripts related to medical tourism were deeply searched by the two reviewers using the related keywords including “health tourism”, “medical tourism terms”, “stem-cell tourism”, “dental tourism”, “reproductive tourism” and “transplant tourism” in the international manuscript databases such as Web of knowledge, PubMed, Emerald, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar. Results: The findings show the same definition of medical tourism in various articles and motivations of medical tourists. However, there is a wide range of principles related to medical tourism in terms of benefits and its consequences in studies, so that most studies in developing countries reflect the benefits of medical tourism and most studies in advanced countries reflect the consequences of medical tourism. Conclusion: The subject of medical tourism is different according to the policies and programs of each country, and conducting accurate and comprehensive research in the country in order to clarify the reality of the issue is necessary.

The invention of photography made it possible for objects, places, landscapes and even ordinary people around us to play a symbolic role and have a clear effect on the mental path of meaning-making and content-making. Seeing these ordinary natural objects with the eye, while it may be emotional or even reminiscent of memory, can be less symbolic, meaningful, or content-creating, leading the mind to a truth beyond the subject itself unless the eye that sees is the eye of truth. Be between mystics. However, if the same objects, landscapes and subjects are present in a photo frame with their different visual forms and characteristics, they will rise above their individuality, and will have the status of a typical sample (general sample). A tree is a specific tree that has grown in a certain place before it is placed in the camera frame, but by placing it in the photo of the general sample of all similar trees, it will recreate the general meaning of the tree. Thus, when an object is present in a photograph, it gains more credibility than its individuality, and therefore can have a more specific effect, as well as a stronger symbolism or deeper meaning.
