As we all know at the moment, there are no qualifications required to start a medical tourism facilitation business, but that does not mean that anyone and everyone can successfully run a medical tourism facilitation business because it requires a lot of in-depth health knowledge to suggest the best health facility in the host country, extremely good links with healthcare providers in the host country to provide seamless and hassle-free patient experience for incoming patients and supportive links with medical tourism facilitators in the home country to provide pre-arrival support and follow-up care in the patient's home country, Process also includes preparation for the worst, as things can also go wrong at one of the best institutes. So what we see is medical tourism facilitation business is a complex mix of knowledge sharing, networking, trust in overseas partners and mitigating risk. If a facilitator fails in one of the domains, they are doomed to fail in the rapidly changing business.

Knowledge sharing: This is a very important step to success, let's say you are a very knowledgeable person in healthcare, but how do other people know that you are the most knowledgeable person in the healthcare field? The answer is simple: by sharing the health knowledge we have with the industry, it serves two purposes, the first is to increase your followers who search for the matched information, they are actually patients who seek information and secondly during conversation with the other health leaders more learning will happen. Y tế Daejeon

Building Networks: Having a large pool of trusted healthcare providers is very important to the success of your medical tourism business. Why is it important? Say that a patient from the US came to India for complex heart treatment and after the initial evaluation of the patient the patient is uncomfortable with the health facility / surgeon / site or other things how a new facility will be arranged at such short notice if you have not a large pool of trusted networks. If we have a good network, you will be able to offer range in the treatment price, which is also good for the patient, and what is good for the patient is ultimately good for a medical tourism facilitator.

Trust in overseas partners: Medical tourism facilitation not only includes accurate events in the host country but also includes lots of important events in the patient's home country, Medical funding is an important aspect and the most important is timely Follow-up of care in the home country after treatment is over, this follow-up is extremely important and difficult to provide if you are not present in the patient's home country, and I know most facilitators are present in either the patient's home country or the hospital host country, so it's really important for the facilitators to have strong and healthy relationships with facilitators from another country, either to coordinate the medical treatment or to provide the patient with a follow-up treatment.

Risk reduction: Yes Medical tourism travel has its share of risk and fear involved in it, so until the fear of the patient is reduced, there will be no growth in the sector, Medical tourism managers and healthcare providers should meet to reduce the risk and fear of the patient by offering comprehensive medical error handling. It is a very large field, but there must be two important components of this coverage, first medical malpractice insurance before the procedure, so the patient does not have to use again out of pocket if something goes wrong in the operation, the insurance must cover the price secondary procedure in the home country or the price of the whole trip to the host country (if necessary).
