Beverly Hills 6750 at the International Medical Travel Conference
Some 250 representatives from all over the world, gathered in Manila last November 19 - 23 for the 2nd International Medical Travel Conference (IMTC).
Organized by the Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT) together with Avail Corporation, an international events company based in Singapore, the event was designed for senior-level decision makers involved in medical travel and international patient care. These include CEOs, managers, directors, senior doctors and nurses and academics in the medical field.
According to Director Elizabeth Nelle, conference organizer at the DOT’s office of Product Research and Development, the conference is a first step in the Philippines’ bid to be part of the $40 billion medical travel industry with over 780 million patients seeking faster, less expensive and world class medical care outside their principal country of residence.
The conference keynote address was delivered by Jonathan Edelheit, president of the Medical Tourism Association (USA). He spoke on “The Next Wave of Medical Travel — Employers, Health Plans and Third Party Administrators.” As part of the conference program, workshops were also conducted to enable participants to understand key issues in designing the scope of medical travel services.
