What is Medical Tourism?
Medical tourism refers to the international travel of individuals seeking
medical services. This includes consultation, medical procedures,
hospitalization or clinical care, and the provision of medications.
Our priority as a board is to form partnerships with healthcare and wellness
providers, hotels, tourism, business, and educational organizations. Our
goal is to promote best practices, mitigate risks, provide legal protection,
offer specialized medical insurance, and ensure quality service.
