Largest Medical Tourism Conference Announces the Pre-Conference Workshop on Ministries of Health

Aug. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- World’s Largest Medical Tourism Conference Announces the Pre-Conference Workshop on Ministries of Health.

This workshop will address how Ministries of Health can be involved in the medical tourism industry and utilize medical tourism to increase the quality of healthcare in their country. Medical Tourism is helping countries by creating investment in healthcare infrastructure, the building of new hospitals and clinics, and the investment in new medical technology. Learn how other Ministries of Health are working with their local healthcare providers to set ground rules for those who participate in medical tourism and how Ministries of Health are using Medical Tourism to increase the quality of care to their local patients and population. Case examples of other countries Ministries of Health’s promotion of medical tourism will be featured as well as sample budgets that Ministries of Health can utilize.

The pre-conference workshop is Monday, October 26th, 2009 at 8:00am- 5:00pm, with a break at 12:00-1:00pm for the networking lunch. The Exhibit hall opens conveniently at 5:00pm!
