PALERMO (ITALPRESS) - "Questo progetto nasce durante il periodo del Covid. Ci siamo messi insieme degli specialisti dell'Officina Navale di Palermo e degli ingegneri della Sanità Esperti ed abbiamo pensato di progettare la prima nave ospedale civile. Ci sono molte navi ospedaliere, ma militari". Lo ha detto Claudio Paccanaro, Presidente Medical Tourism Association - capo progetto, in occasione della presentazione del progetto Poly-clinic techno boat (Pctb), un modello di nave poliambulatorio pensato per soddisfare i bisogni di salute globali, con particolare attenzione al bacino mediterraneo e alla fascia costiera circum-africana. xd6/pc/gtr

In this BuildMyBod Health podcast, we talk to the President of the Medical Tourism Association (MTA), Renee-Marie Stephano. She was first exposed to medical tourism while working for a company in 2004 that provided destination healthcare. From there, she saw a need to better connect consumers and healthcare providers in other countries. Thus, the birth of the trade organization, the Medical Tourism Association! She discusses the importance of accreditation for facilities and providers alike in other countries. While they don't get involved in the actual care of the patient, they do assist the consumer in finding the best fit for their needs. They encourage the potential patient to find a board certified doctor that received their US or European certification regardless of what country they're practicing in now. The conversation gets a little heated during the discussion regarding follow up care for the patient when they return to their country of origin. Dr. Kaplan and Renee disagree on the extent of the problem patients have when a complication occurs upon their return home. A healthy disagreement makes for a better, more entertaining conversation! While many stakeholders in the US are fearful of medical tourism for financial and safety reasons, the Medical Tourism Association (MTA) is trying to connect consumers to accredited healthcare facilities and providers throughout the world. In other words, medical tourism is here to stay...and while it may have been the wild west in the past, the MTA is bringing civility to the industry. Read Dr. Kaplan's article on lead generation for medical tourism websites that was published on the MTA site here.

Listen NowMedical tourism has been defined moreover as people traveling from less developed to more developed countries to receive medical treatment.   Today, well over one million Americans travel both within the US and worldwide to receive a wide variety of medical interventions.  Medical tourism originating in the US is growing dramatically, it is today considered one of the fastest growing segments in our health care industry.  The primary reason for its popularity is of course cost or cost savings (though wait times can play a factor as well).  A recent NYT poll found for example 46% of respondents describe paying for health care as a "hardship".  Both self-employed companies as well as private insurance plans have offered tourism coverage for certain procedures for several years.  However, like all medical care, procedures received abroad are not without risk.During this 22-minute interview Ms. Stephano provides a brief overview of her organization, the range of medical services sought, typically where and at what cost savings, its increasing use among self-insured employers, the quality of care received and what recourse patients have in the event of an error.  Ms. Renee-Marie Stephano is the President and Co-Founder of the Medical Tourism Association and editor-in-chief of the Medical Tourism Magazine.  She works closely with governments, hospitals, business leaders and travel and tourism entities to develop sustainable medical tourism/international patient programs and strategies throughout the world.  She has authored and co-authored several books, has been a keynote speaker at hundreds of international conferences and is a resource regarding medical tourism initiatives for media outlets worldwide.  She earned her JD degree from the University of Pennsylvania.For more onthe Medical Tourism Assocation see: http://www.medicaltourismassociation.com/en/index.html,  This is a public episode.
