Description

Medical Travel (or as it is more commonly misnamed, Medical Tourism) is the deliberate travel for healthcare outside one’s own country. Besides being an old practice of the more affluent, it is also a new economic phenomenon following the globalisation of other

In the midst of a cacophony of national tourism organisations announcing their entry, Singapore is starting the fifth year of its government-industry partnership to develop and maintain its decades-old position as the medical destination of choice in the region. This is the story of SingaporeMedicine.
