Last year’s 1st annual congress featured over 850 attendees from over 45 countries and over 53 exhibitors and sponsors.  Out of the 850 attendees, there were over 100 insurance companies and insurance providers,  over 400 hospitals, clinics, and governments, and over 100 facilitators.  The 2nd Annual World Medical   Tourism & Global Health Congress will feature up to 2,000 attendees from over 50 countries and up to 100 exhibitors and sponsors.  At this year’s Congress we have also invited “buyers” of healthcare from countries such as Russia, China, Japan, and  Africa.  Many of these countries are emerging markets as more patients travel to and from these countries for medical care.  

This is the one event per year where Employers, Self Funded Health Plans, Insurance Companies, and Medical Tourism Facilitators that are looking to outsource healthcare overseas have the opportunity to meet with top International Hospitals and Medical Tourism Companies in one place for the ultimate networking event.  World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress will prearrange networking meetings to assist in the    development of new relationships and valuable new contracts.  While last year’s Congress featured over 3,000 one-on-one private networking sessions, the 2nd Annual Congress is anticipated to have at least 5,000       one-on-one private networking meetings.

This is the one event you cannot afford to miss!
