TAT Governor Suraphon Svetasreni said, “Health and wellness is one of our key target niche-market in our 2014 action plan. With many destinations offering health and wellness products and services all over the world, ensuring that foreign patients receive accurate, regularly updated information and advice can be crucial to the decision-making process.”

Thailand is one of the world’s most popular medical tourism destinations, with an estimated 2.5 million visitors coming to seek both preventive and curative treatments and therapies.

It boasts over 200 international-standard hospitals and clinics, 19,000 professional doctors and over 100,000 nurses. In addition to state-of-the-art medical technology, reasonable medical costs and excellent hospitality, Thailand is a perfect place for post-treatment convalescence and recovery. Both patients and members of their family can enjoy a good holiday in Thailand at excellent value-for-money prices.

To provide visitors with even more choices and greater value for money, the wellness products are offered in the form of packages that combine medical, physical and emotional consultations, traditional therapies, East-and-West spa treatments, plus various courses and classes. Many hospitals offer a wide range of services with emphasis on medical check-ups, Anti-Aging, Detoxification and Holistic treatments.

Posted on September 24, 2013 | Comments Off on DHCC receives delegation of 55 top travel agents from Eastern Europe to promote medical tourism in Dubai

Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC) has received from a delegation of over 50 leading travel agents from across Eastern Europe.

The visit, organised by the Department of Tourism and Commercial Marketing, was aimed at promoting Dubai as a leading tourism destination, and an opportunity for both parties to discuss DHCC’s Medical Tourism strategy.

DHCC is an established, internationally recognised centre of healthcare excellence, and has a particular focus on improving education and research and promoting medical tourism. In 2012, Dubai welcomed over 101,000 visitors from Eastern Europe, and the visit provided an opportunity for DHCC to promote Dubai as a destination for medical tourism, as well as discuss ways to attract more visitors from Central and Eastern Europe.

During the visit, the delegates toured DHCC and were given a presentation on DHCC’s Medical Tourism initiatives at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Academic Medical Centre, the education and research arm of DHCC, to further understand the world-class facilities available to both local and international patients, which are highly regulated and comparable to international standards.

DHCC also invited a number of its leading medical institutions to network and discuss medical tourism with the delegates, and highlight the importance of the industry for the UAE. Alongside its wide range of medical services, DHCC provides a range of benefits for medical tourists including Medical Indemnity Insurance and agreements with hotels.

Speaking about the visit, Marwan Abedin, CEO DHCC said, �We are delighted to welcome the delegation to DHCC. DHCC has established itself as a world-class destination for medical tourism, and we want to see the continued growth of this thriving industry. We want to ensure DHCC grows to become one of the world’s leading major international medical tourism hubs catering for the medical needs and wellbeing of international patients.’ Dr Wajdi Al Daghma, MD Strategy and Business Development for DHCC said, �DHCC has witnessed unprecedented growth in the past decade and has seen the inclusion of a large number of new medical facilities and professionals. We are constantly expanding and improving our health services and Dubai has all of the right elements to attract foreign patients.’ WAM/MN
