Has Anyone Actually Tried Medical Tourism? We’ve read about it, heard about it, and even talked about it. But how many of us know someone who has gone on a health vacation to India? Anyone ever come back from Thailand with a new hip? Is there any forum where real people can discuss real medical tourism issues -

well, this is a space to discuss all this about.
The reason this site is called Health 2 is because new healthcare models are coming. The site is open to patients and providers. Let’s have an open discussión about!
Actually, I am in a project to validate several Medical Tourism business models in Europe. We are building an interoperable personal health record platform with teleconsultation purposes to validate and test the process.
Quite interesting.

Bueno, la verdad es que no lo se. Yo voy a estar allà y espero oportunidades. Está claro que a ese evento van las personas clave, otra cosa es tener o no oportunidad de charlar y encontrarlo.
Lo único que puedo decirte es que si no vas, nunca lo sabrás…

Hola, me parece muy util participar en los eventos de este tipo. Internet es un medio excepcional para encontrar cualquier cosa, no debo que delinearlo demasiado, pero un evento como este Congress en Marbella, tiene otro aspecto muy importante - encontrarse con ‘live’ oportunidades para promover su negocio. Me gustaria oir o leer como paso todo el evento! Quizas el ano proximo participaremos en el cuarto evento!
