Global Medical Tourism Inc was incorporated on September 2014.
Founded by the ITBD Group,
an international health care business
consultancy group, with
links and presence in several countries, we
visited and shortlisted 20 world-class healthcare establishments in
India, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and
other developing
countries in 2013-2014, where, we found that
the standards of care are compatible, if not better than those
available to
patients in the tier-1, USA and Canadian
Hospitals. Most of these establishments were already receiving referred
patients
from their counterparts in the USA and
Canada and UK. The need was clear. All we needed to do was to:
- Vet the credibility of some of these healthcare establishments
- Use our vast network of resources and connections to liaison with these establishments on behalf of the patients
- Set in place a Quality Assurance system
to get them the level of care they needed, matching with the best in
international care standards
- Help patients search and access quality
services at JCI (Joint Commission International)-accredited facilities,
where they would be
- Served with trust, ethics, and transparency and
- Help them negotiate and overcome the challenges of language and other barriers in a racially-diverse environment
From the hospital perspective, we seek to
widen their reach to a bigger pool of patients, who cannot be served in
time or within budget at home.
