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.

María del Carmen Garza poses as an oncologist without a professional license. On November 28, the case of an alleged pediatric oncologist came through. Now, it is a supposed false pediatric oncologist who responds to the name of María del Carmen and treats children with cancer without having a professional license. Journalist Fernando Hernández denounced María del Carmen Garza, who claims to be a pediatric oncologist from the “Una Nueva Esperanza” foundation, for not having a professional license to practice said specialty. The journalist explained that the person mentioned only had a professional license accredited to her as a surgeon before the National Registry of Professionals, issued in 2008.

Tragedy in Turkey: British woman dies during 'Brazilian butt lift' surgery.
K, a mother of two from the UK, made initial inquiries about procedures to Clinic Expert in Istanbul, who swiftly suggested a "Mummy MOT" – multiple procedures, including a tummy tuck, liposuction, and a Brazilian butt lift.
Over several weeks, K was bombarded with emails and phone calls. They offered cut-price surgery, flights, a hotel, and further discounts if she signed up for multiple surgeries. 
K worked hard to find the £5,400 needed and traveled to Istanbul with her sister L. She went into surgery on March 26, 2024, but never came out.
L said in an interview, "I was in the room waiting for her to come back. I'd asked a few times where she was and how long she was going to be, and they just kept saying she was coming, and then I got a knock on the door.
"Three people walked in and said, can you come with us please?
"They took me to a room and they just started trying to say, you know, there's complications with surgery, you know things can happen. And I said, 'Has my sister died?' And he just said, 'I'm sorry, but yeah'."
"They just gave me an envelope and said here's your money back, and here's your sister's money back. And here's your flight. It's like, sorry she's dead, here's your plane ticket," she said.
