Patients’ increased need for relevant healthcare information and options

The managing director and founder of Novasans, Ms. Victoria Svederberg, says, “The growth of the medical tourism industry is spurred by a wide range of factors, such as higher costs and long waiting times in the patient’s home countries, more flexible and lower international travel costs, along with improved infrastructure and technology in the provider countries.”

Ms. Svederberg continues, “A natural outcome of increased travel is the number of international patients admitted to hospitals for various injuries and medical conditions during their journeys. When experiencing the excellent service, professionalism and technology at these medical institutions, the potential anxiety of traveling abroad for elective treatments is diminished.

On Novasans’ objective she states, “The Internet revolution has made information available for anyone, anywhere. However, the rapid expansion of online information, and the anonymity of the Internet, can aggravate the possibility of finding relevant, truthful information about healthcare abroad. Novasans condenses the massive plethora of information on the Internet, and presents patients with relevant and updated information about medical and healthcare options abroad.”
