4th IAPMT & MedTourClub 2020 Summit took its part!

On December 5, our annual MedTourNetworking Hub2020 Summit took place, which this time was held in a hybrid format – about 30 participants were in the hall, and only about 300 attended the event online – on the Zoom platform or watched the broadcast on Facebook.

The organizers succeeded in attracting representatives from 35 countries of the world to participate, as the event was broadcast in English (partly with Russian subtitles). In Ukraine, such an event on medical tourism was held for the first time.

This time we had 2 main sections – Service and work with patients and the Section of Innovations and unique medical methods of the world. 22 speakers from 11 countries presented their information to the attention of the audience.

We also had a very powerful marketing section. Its main idea is to explain to clinic managers the importance and expediency of obtaining international accreditation. Many medical institutions have already done this, others are looking for the most convenient options for themselves. This is a very lively topic that is in demand. Therefore, with the help of speakers, we made a comparative description of possible different international accreditations both for the clinic and for individual professionals separately.

We invited such experts:

Bill Cook, Director of Business Development and Marketing, Global Health Care Accreditation (GHA), USA. A renowned specialist in medical tourism and patient experience improvement, he has co-authored two books and many articles on the topic. Video presentation is here
