Medical Tourism is one of the fastest growing healthcare industries. The world is in a healthcare crisis and patients are starting to travel overseas in search of the best quality and the most affordable medical care. More and more Health Insurance Companies, Employers, Claims Payors, and Health Insurance Agents are looking at Medical Tourism as the creative solution to the healthcare crisis. A recent report on Medical Tourism stated that by 2017, over 16 million Americans could be traveling overseas for medical care. With that being said, people from other countries equal to or greater than that amount will also be traveling around the world for medical care.

Last year’s 1st annual congress featured over 850 attendees from over 45 countries and over 53 exhibitors and sponsors. Out of the 850 attendees, there were over 100 insurance companies and insurance providers, over 400 hospitals, clinics, and governments, and over 100 facilitators. The 2nd Annual World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress will feature up to 2,000 attendees from over 50 countries and up to 100 exhibitors and sponsors. At this year’s Congress we have also invited “buyers” of healthcare from countries such as Russia, China, Japan, and Africa. Many of these countries are emerging markets as more patients travel to and from these countries for medical care.

This is the one event per year where Employers, Self Funded Health Plans, Insurance Companies, and Medical Tourism Facilitators that are looking to outsource healthcare overseas have the opportunity to meet with top International Hospitals and Medical Tourism Companies in one place for the ultimate networking event. World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress will prearrange networking meetings to assist in the development of new relationships and valuable new contracts. While last year’s Congress featured over 3,000 one-on-one private networking sessions, the 2nd Annual Congress is anticipated to have at least 3,000 one-on-one private networking meetings.

This is the one event you cannot afford to miss!
