Strengths Medical Tourism

Existing Competition  Though the number of hospitals is low in numbers compared to requirement but
(High) they spend immense amount in R&D, so they could present the latest services
to the customer.
 We have witnessed intense competition between different countries in the
world since medical tourism brings high amount of revenue to the concern
market.
 By living up and above the expectation of our customers and ensuring the
service we provide is within their budget frame, which in turn ensures long
lasting loyal customer relation.
 Though medical tourism is growing across the globe at a vast pace. Parallelly
there are multiple options for suppliers across the globe but the difference will
be the quality of product.
Power of Supplier  There are limited numbers of supplier who provide their services on time and
(High) with quality. There are very few suppliers in this industry with such criteria.
 Problems which Kuwait faces are similar to its neighboring countries where
most medical machinery and drugs as well get imported from outside.
 Medical tourism has been growing around the world and there are few
companies that lead and control the market when it comes to supply of product.
 Due to lack of alternatives the supplier’s product is the only one that fulfills
customers need.
Power of Buyer  The buyer shares a bond of trust and loyalty with the service provider. Hence,
(Low) the buyer follows the service provider’s guidelines.
 Kuwait has a very low income economy, with majority of its citizen living in
abject poverty. Living standards of Kuwait is low so is the cost of living.
 Our service being unique in its own way and the way we club all the services in
one package make us stand out in the market. As we present service before and
after coming back from treatments.
 We believe in customer feedback which will set for us new set of parameters to
attain success in this field and lead the region with our services in Middle East.

Threat of New Entry  It is a growing business and chances of new entrants is medium due to lack of
(Low) coordination between the government and the private business owners
 The industry is growing globally and number of new entrants in this field has
increased. Several Asian destination, they have put immense effort to enter
Middle East market (Connell, 2006).
 Kuwait is not considered as the leading tourist destination. Currently in Middle
East, Dubai and Doha are considered one of the leading destinations for
tourist .Hence people will be travelling to destination cities for medical
treatment.

10
 Currently in Kuwait most of companies that provide health care services they
are struggling for financial independence.
 We should present something different and unique in our services that will
make us stand out in the business.
Threat of Substitution  Customers might go for E-Health but not everyone is application friendly yet.
(Low)  Customer might prefer to use government facilities in the home town the
chances are very low since most of Kuwaiti citizens do not have faith in
Kuwaiti medical system based on a survey conducted by ministry of health
(Bader Alhendi, Medical Tourism Overseas: A Challenge to Kuwait’s
Healthcare System 2020)
 50% of the population of Kuwait stated that the medical care is much better
abroad. (Bader Alhendi, Medical Tourism Overseas: A Challenge to Kuwait’s
Healthcare System 2020)
 Kuwait city has been outshined by Dubai and Qatar as the leading tourist
destination.
 Kuwait city similar to its sister cities is struggling in finding product substitute.

Figure 2: COSMIC Analysis


4.1. Customers & Consumer

In our business the main focus is level of satisfaction our customer received from us. The
reason we are here discussing the idea of this business is to satisfy the need of our society. As
per the survey conducted by ministry of health in Kuwait, in 2019 the result has displayed that
50% of Kuwaiti population prefer to go abroad for medical treatments. (Bader Alhendi,
Medical Tourism Overseas: A Challenge to Kuwait’s Healthcare System 2020). Our business
has unique features which lot of other companies lack in their business plan. The aim of our
business is first to fulfil the need of society and if the customer is happy with the way we serve
then the profit will flow in and along with it will come, customer loyalty.

4.2. Market

1. Geographic

Our business has special services for the elderly member of our society. Senior people with
no one to help them in arranging their medical trips, we are just a call away. Our
representative will serve our senior citizens at their premise. We will discuss all the
requirements that our customer needs, show him all the arrangements and explain to our
customer all details related to the trip and if the customer wants any different services. We
will ensure that the entire medical trip details are clear to the customer and he/she has
belief in the way we serve them. In addition during long summer vacation days our
business offers multiple packages to wellness centers in cool, calm places away from
noises of city surrounded by nature and fresh air. In times of festivals like hala festivals,
tour of Kuwait city, Dubai spring festival and in addition to football and car race events.

12
We have services for all ages to all destinations. We have special packages for children as
well who will be accompanied by well trained teachers and medical staff.

2. Demographic

Life expectancy in Kuwait is very high with male living up to age of 77 and female life
span is around 79.In addition one fourth of Kuwait population falls under age of 20.We
have services in which we will combine travel trips to wellness center for a mix group of
senior citizens and children. The purpose behind this idea the elder person needs just care
and young children get to learn from elders and at the same time without realization they
will be serving their society. In this way children of our country will learn to serve senior
members of our society.

3. Habits and Behavior

Kuwaiti society are known for their generosity, whether it is to their house help,
neighbours, family members and friends. Members of society would love to share what
ever cooked in their house hold with others. During festivities majority of Kuwaiti families
prefer to travel out of Kuwait. It’s a tradition among friends and families to gift each other
with gift packages of travel trips. Our business has designed such gift packages that
customer can purchase from us and gift it to their loved ones. Kuwaiti society lives with
the strong belief that sharing is caring.

4. Psychographic

We have members of our society, especially elderly person who live alone and would need
medical help constantly. Sometimes members of the family are busy with their daily life
duties and are unable to support our elderly people with their time. In some cases, people
are busy with their job responsibilities and unable to find time to get the appointments with
the doctor and do all the arrangement connected to it. At present, our business plays an
important role by lending a helping hand to members of society and supports them with
their daily life responsibilities.

5. Market size
An individual’s daily habits would impact their health, physical activities and life span. In
order to lead a healthy life in a long run it is very essential that every person adapts healthy

13
lifestyle habits. As per Kuwaiti society they show their happiness and gratitude in food.
Their normal everyday food is too heavy and unhealthy. In addition, due to hectic lifestyle
and responsibilities does not give an individual enough time to focus on their health. Since
government does not take any initiative to create awareness on healthy lifestyle habits a
large percent of society suffer from various types of diseases. In our current time, every
individual, need to spend some time and money on their health. Every now and then an
individual should detoxify their body’s from the toxins that has been accumulated from the
city’s polluted environment.

4.3. Supplier

As our normal standard in business operation we will set upon the performance of our supplier.
As we all know, there are limited number of suppliers that deliver their service on time and
with quality. Hence they have the control over market. A good PR personnel with good
connections plays an important role in maintaining our relationships with our suppliers. We
will be covering more markets and explore various health treatment methods to cater the needs
of our customers. As internet plays a major role in giving access to every individual on type of
service that an individual would receive within a certain budget frame. Our focus will be to
ensure our application is updated with the latest updates on our services. Our expertise team
members will work with our suppliers to ensure we attract maximum number of GCC citizens,
who do spend large amount of money on treatments abroad. Due to lack of friendly relationship
between the government and the private health sector, which plays a major role in development
of this business venture and at the same time generate revenue to the country and brings in
better performance economically. As we know change is not something acceptable by human
nature, once a customer is comfortable with one supplier with the time they will keep on
coming to the same supplier due to the comforts presented to them.

4.4. Intermediaries

In the beginning of our business venture we will use intermediaries as one time agreement and
based on their caliber the services we are looking for. Thanks to our experience medical travel
planner we plan to tie up with three different parties in each region we serve. Due to Covid,
there are constant changes in policies, rules and regulation. We want to we have a backup for
our customers in every field. We will not be signing with our suppliers a contract of one year it

14
will be based on the service rate feedback we receive from ours customers. In addition, we
won’t be signing contract of one year with any of our suppliers, thus reducing our power over
supplier. Meanwhile, our team in various regions will use their contacts to get more options for
our intermediaries. At present our intermediaries can work with our experts in our organization
on the services we need and the bookings that need to be blocked.

4.5. Competitors

We are not first in the market but we are but we are here for sure to make the difference and set
the trend of this business. The reason of such confirmation comes from the inner persistent
desire that thrives to serve every member of our society in whatever manner we can. In
addition, it brings an economic growth to the country. In today’s time with the advance in
medical tourism field, medical tourism has emerged in the global market as a niche need of the
society (Ender wick & Nagar, 2011). In the past decade medial tourism has grown in Kuwait,
especially in the cosmetic field. The rising number of tourist and need of the members of
society, hence the medical travel facilitator has an important role to play to fulfill the need of
the society. As we are aware the number of medical tourist who travels for medical services
would like to enjoy a hassle free trip and avoid as much as, possible stress in their journey since
the anxiety of treatment is already there. Hence, at least the rest of the requirements of the trip
need to be hassle free. We have studied two of our competitor and have highlighted their
strength and weakness. A good spirit of competition in business will reap benefits to business,
society and country at the same time. In the below figure you can view the analysis of our
competitors.

15
In the above graph we have mentioned their business traits in the below we have mentioned
their cons.

to our team members who us an agent to be able to get recruited to middle management position if

primary advantage is the expertise of its functional specialists. People who begin their careers in
research and development, or manufacturing, or sales, and work their way up through career
ladders in those functions become practiced and skilled at their area of competence (Tammy&
James, 2008). Our managers are consider the pillars of the entire show they need to ensure to have right

8.1. Branding and identity

Name & Logo Figure 7: Name & Logo

We have selected a name “Ehna Maak” for health and tourism. The purpose of selecting such
name is that we wanted our customers to connect immediately with us. They should feel that
emotional bond with us that we are working with them toward their wellness and healthcare. Now
with life coming back to norms and restrictions of pandemic being ease, this is the right time to
serve members of our society to serve all ages to a better healthcare awareness around the society.
Logo & Tagline

For the journey that is life, “Ehna Maak”


Commitment to our people

Figure 8: Logo & Tagline

25
Brand identity

Our identity is reflected in our name “Ehna Maak”.The reason these words are selected is to build
an instant bond with our customers. We know our name is the first thing that will grab our
customer’s attention and we want that bond to be everlasting. Our logo gives the message that in
the journey of health recovery Ehnaa Maak. We want every individual to feel the assurance that
we are with them in this healthcare journey. The way times have changed and where you can see
concern in every individual’s eyes. Everyone is looking for safety, touch of humanity, reflection of
genuine care and professionalism. I can see the need in members of my society and extra helping
hand is what every household needs in our society.

8.2. Market segmentation & Targeting


Geographic

Every house in our society has a senior member in the house that needs care and health guidance. Old
age is a factor, ailing health and busy life of society makes it difficult for them to get the aid and care
which they need. Our team will have people who are skillful in handling senior citizens and able to
empathize with them at the same time. Ensuring we make their healthcare journey fruitful.

Our business even offer services to every age group in our society. In the fast moving life the family
member’s needs to be together, sharing times of calmness, quiet and holistic surroundings. In our
wellness center they can mix treatments along with holistic wellness. In this case they will not only
treat existing health issues but they get to take precautionary preventive measures, which is needed in
our time.

Demographic

26
Kuwait has grown after the discovery of petrol which has increased life expectancy of population.
Kuwait is a small country where every house hold knows other and existence of diwaniya plays a
crucial role in rotation of information across society members. Hence we want our business to enter
every house of our society which will bring them closer and ensure no one is left in loneliness. Due to
busy demands of life lot of members in the society feel the loneliness and some miss their family
member whom they might have loss during pandemic. In order to bring people closure our business
will have wellness trip with a mix of old people along with children. In our small approach we are
trying to bring the ties of our society closure. It is found that social relationships are a significant factor
in psychological well-being. (Steptoe et al., 2015) Similarly, it has been noted that the relationships
that elderly have are essential for their psychological well-being (Charles and Piazza, 2007).

Habits and Behaviors

Kuwaitis are known for their generosity in the history. Kuwaiti house hold reflects the belief of
religion, impact of dessert life and culture. They are taught from very young age that sharing is caring.
It has been seen that members of society display their token of good gesture by gifting each other.
Giving gifts and bringing joy in your surrounding is very common behaviour in the Kuwaiti society.
Even in college we buy each other a cup of coffee as a token of good gesture. The main reason we
want to gift each other, research says that the giver feels happy about giving and at the same time it
improves the relationship between the two people. Giving experiential gifts is thus identified as a
highly effective form of prosaically spending, and can have a greater impact on improving the
relationship between the giver and receiver (Chan and Mogilner, 2017). Hence our business will have
exclusive gifts packages for different groups in our society. There will be package for youth, ladies
specials, kid’s special, old people and of course family special package. In addition, we plan to have
custom make gift packages, where we will design the packages as per the customer’s requirements.

27
Psychographic

Development of a nation brings along with it prosperity, growth and social wellbeing. As per the
statistics the life expectancy of Kuwait senior citizens ranges in 70s – 80s year .They represent an
important part of society. They are the bond that teaches the coming generation the values and guide
them with the wisdom which they have gains from their experiences. Hence for our senior members
to be in a good psychological mind frame, for us to reap their benefit, it is very important that we
ensure they remain healthy emotionally, mentally and physically. Studies have highlighted that in
disaster situation it is their skills and knowledge that saves a society. It has been seen that older men
and women are caregivers to many children and grandchildren. They are important part of our society
that we need to nourish and take care. Our business has different types of services that will help in
maintaining their physical health. At the same time in order to improvise their emotional wellbeing
we have designated wellness centers which will play a crucial role in their wellbeing.

10.Marketing Mix Strategy

Product
We present to our customers multiple types of services in different medical fields. With increase in the life
expectancy people are focus on the quality of life. We have as well given importance to all details that are
relevant to the product service ensuring that our customers go through a hassle free journey. Customer does
not have to go through hassles of any procedure; we will ensure customer receives hospital invitation letter
and other related official documents. Our services are presented with a mind frame which is to go beyond
expectation. In case of emergency we will provide emergency ambulance flight with medical facilities for
the customer. We ensure the treatment journey of our customer should be hassle free and in case of any
support while being outside the country, we ensure to be there with them in this journey.

Place
We are located in heart of Kuwait city but customer can reach us from various channels. We are at their
service 24/7. Our online chat service is available 24/7.Our website will give our customer all the details they
need to know about our services. Our head office works from 10am till 8 pm. We have a friendly set of team

30
Our office is designed in such a manner that it can accommodated visits of handicap patients as well. We are
located in the middle of the city hence easily approachable for our customers. In addition, we are at the service
Price

11.Promotional mix

Offline

We will design exclusive flyers in different languages. The flyers will be designed to target
different communities that exist in Kuwait market. Medical and health tourism can be divided into
two categories (Baukute, 2012):

1. The first is serious medical tourism that consists of treatments of illnesses, cardiac surgery,
dental and plastic surgery, fertility, cancer treatments, etc.
2. The second category is considered to be less medical and more focused on wellness tourism
like spas, alternative therapies, fitness tourism, the use of local medicines, etc.
We will be having launch party of our service in the leading malls of Kuwait with a booth which
with all the pamphlets, brochures and business cards for customer’s information’s. As a token of
appreciation we will be giving candies to children and flowers to ladies.
We plan to have different types of loyalty programmes which target different age groups and
gender. Our senior citizens will have special loyalty customer card which will give them
privileges to all our services. For school students, they will get discount at our services and they
can earn rewards by providing social services at the old age home.

Online

It has been suggested social media was a ubiquitous communication tool, and those who abstain
from it relinquish control of their digital identities (O’Hara,2013). We want our product to be
online and more accessible via the application. We plan to have the entire relevant information for
any type of services to be there online and in the application. As we re are targeting different age
groups in our society, the younger generation spend maximum amount of their time on numerous
digital platforms, hence we want all the information like, videos, pictures and description on the
type of services and the steps of the entire journey to be available online for our customers. Our
website and application is set up with a goal to build strong online presence. We believe that our

31
website and app are very valuable asset for us. By having a professional and customer friendly
website and application, which we expect to inspire them and turn to us for service. We will
work consistently to make strong digital presence which will lead us to multiple gateways to
connect with different set of audience and different groups of our society with different needs and
requirements. We believe in, “seeing is believing”, hence we want to be connected to our
customer outside our website and app world through various channels of media. The complex
concept of digital identity shaping is increasing in importance as digital communications have
become a societal norm (Dijck JV,2013). Building our presence online will open the door of
communication between us and our target audience, raises our engagement, gain credibility and
build a name. In addition we will be engaged with our customer on you tube, podcasts, academia
and Kuwait social websites.

12.1. SMART goals
 One hash tag “#healthtoruismturkey” can increase our post engagement by 12.6%.Hence
we want to increase our instagram engagement from 10% to 50%. We plan to do that by
posting them as audience are more engaged and use relevant hash tag. The concept of
social media defined as; “applications, activities and behaviors that are carried out to share
knowledge and ideas through the interactive media that enables the creation and sharing of
words, pictures, videos and sound among online groups” Peltekoğlu (2018: 331-332) .

12.2. Performance measures & control

It has been studied that product innovation and promotional activities goes hand in hand which
affects marketing performance. In any business the entrepreneurs can run the operation smoothly
as long there is a growing numbers of customers. In our business what brings customers is the
price reasonableness. The developing strategy which leads to reasonability of prices, it will pave
the way for customer retention and maximize the revenue. If a customer is involved in any
transaction, price reasonableness/fairness is likely to be decided by the way in which he/she takes
advantage of it (Ryu& Han, 2010).

 Our goal is to reduce cost per lead as per industry standard our average is 120kd and of
course we want to minimize cost per lead. Good campaign indicators are low cost per lead
with high volume of quality leads.
 As increased customer retention is likely to improve any business's profitability (Jiang &
Rosenbloom, 2005). A 5% customer retention will increase revenue by 15% as per
industry norms. Researchers generally agree that these variables contribute to creating
favorable intentions toward a firm and affecting retention and loyalty (Bowen & Chen,
2001; Han, 2013;Han & Ryu, 2006).

We can see how life has changed after pandemic across the globe. People in our society need
medical help and services. A large percentage of society wants to be treated outside the country
due to safety and unavailability of advance medical services. Budget constraint does not allow
them to travel abroad and our business has medical service in all price packages which will
enable them to get their health issues resolved. We have displayed that we will earn back from
our return within a period of two years and the revenue will grow moving forward. Medical

tourism is a growing market and there is a great demand for it. Medical tourists are expected to
increase by over 12% from now till 2027 as per research conducted by medical tourism
community. Kuwait is a market that grows gradually and I believe we will flourish with
Kuwait. Meanwhile we also want to serve members of our community by lending them a
helping hand and providing clinical consultation from different region of their world at their
home to guide them on treatments and the process that it follows. Our business has generated
revenue by targeting certain age group of our society and working toward improving the health
life of our society members. I must admit yes our business is reaping revenue but at the same
time we are giving back to our people as well. Moving forward we plan to explore new markets
by adding multiple and different medical services to our bag. As we plan to provide medical
services and healthcare facilities in other parts of the world. The advancement of technology
has given the information at fingertip and people opt to get to the best hospital and get quality
of service. Hence we work with a mind customer first and once the customer establishes the
bond of trust with us then there is no looking back. A report by the industry research company
Tourism Research & Marketing (TRAM)224 puts the overall value of the medical tourism
industry in 2006 at US$20B, predicting this to double by 2010 . They are forecasting revenue
for year 2027 to be 207.27 billion $ with a growth rate of 21.4%. The emerging markets for our
business are Thailand; Costa Rica; Mexico; Malaysia; Singapore; Brazil; Colombia; Taiwan;
South Korea; Czech Republic; Spain. With the growth rate of more than 20% I believe there is
no looking back we will rule the market and set the standards.

Critical Risk

Risk Identification

The number of countries that people are travelling to obtain medical support is growing day by
day and medical tourism is consider one of the growing industry that contributes to growth of the
country’s economy. Number of countries developing their own medical tourism business sector
has increased with the time. Due to various reasons like long waiting time, get hand on services
that are unavailable locally and soaring healthcare costs are some of the reasons that people opt for

medical tourism. Medical tourism can be defined as a “purposeful trip abroad to receive medical
care” (Keckley and Underwood, 2008). There are different types of risk associated with medical
tourism. In medical tourism risks can be viewed at two phases. First, when our patience travels
abroad. Patients who travel outside the country especially during pandemic are more exposed to
infection and hence there is a public health risk the time they return home. Second, on being
discharged from hospital and returning home. There are situations where due to negligence,
mismanagements and lack of cleanliness of patient they develop some medical issues. Another
risk factor, passengers travelling for medical treatment go through psychology and emotional
problem. Being away from your loved one in a strange land different in culture and language has

46
also effect on speedy recovery of the patient. Customers travelling after their health treatment long
flying hours can cause thrombosis due to lack of movement inside the flight. In addition travelling
causes dehydration in human body which should be considered prior travelling. The risk in our
business is not over with patient being treated but there is a big role of how patient is doing after
coming back to the home county. In our business to grow and flourish there has to be co-operation
between the physician abroad and the one in our home town.

Risk Management

Our professionals will handle insurance procedure and legal documentation of our customer and
the person who is accompanying the patient, as well in order to avoid any problems and penalties.
Prior patients travel plan our clinical specialist will have a session with the travelers prior traveling
guiding them on precautionary measures to be followed while travelling. After the treatment our
clinical speciality will ensure to collect a copy of medical report from the attending doctor and get
it translated if required. Share the document with our local doctor to ensure patient recovery back
home is smoothly done. In order to avoid any complications a member of clinical speciality will
visit the patient to check if procedure of recovery is being followed correctly. Prior travel and after
travelling our team will follow strict sanity protocol in order to ensure that patient is not expose to
any kind of infection. In order to ensure our patient emotional wellbeing, as it plays a major role in
patient recovery. We will arrange calls with patient’s family, neighbours and friends once a week
to ensure patients speedy recovery. One of our clinical specialties will ensure to collect
information about the patient recovery process incase if there any issues in the future. In addition
we will maintain communication with doctor to ensure smooth recovery of the patient.

Then there is physical risk, like building risk in case of any accidents. Employees will be educated
on fire exits and in time of emergency their safety takes priority above work. We will install fire
alarms and sprinklers for the safety. Proper emergency exit guidelines will be given to employees.

In case of power outage generators have been set up to support all the operational requirements of
the business. Members of the team who are using land lines for their communication in case if
land line are not functioning company will have emergency mobile lines that will be given to team
members in order to complete their tasks.

47
As our business will rely on computerized data, customers list and financial information of our
suppliers we will ensure to have an exterior back and insurance coverage. We need to ensure the
safety of our data from being hacked.

We will ensure to run our operation smoothly from managing market, credit, company’s operation
and maintain its reputation.

Prior launching any new market or new service we will study its impact. A decision should not
have negative impact on cost, employee and customer or affect any of our operations. In the
beginning of the business we will avoid taking any risks. In order for our business to grow we will
conduct market research and ask for feedback from our customers on services they would like to
try.

In addition in order to ensure financial safety and ensure certain level of safety to our business.
We will set aside an amount 20,000KD separately in case of any emergency taken from initial
capital. The revenue generated from various streams of operation 5% will be taken from it to be
added to the fund to ensure safety of business and operation. In case of any unforeseen emergency
we have a backup.

The idea came to me due to what I have seen among my family members and help that my society needs.
Being raised up in a house, where I see the elder of my family members struggling for medical help and all
they would need someone to guide them. In addition, during my summer vacation i would opt for internship
in various travel agency firms, where I noticed enormous number of population travelling abroad for medical
48
treatments. Medical health tourism is growing day by day and members are coming with more innovative
ideas to serve the community at the same time. Currently Kuwait market lacks such facilities which will be
MANAYER KANDARI

As an active social service member of my society, I have always noticed the concern members our society
goes through to get the, medical services at their fingertips. Having worked in many of medical institutes as
a social helper, my experience teaches me, yes this business idea is right for the times. There is need for
such service at our society level and with the fast pace life, where people are not having enough time to get
what they want in the medical fields from services for their loved ones. My passion to serve members of
my society, in addition to the knowledge acquired along with my experience of serving in medical field
will drive this project to heights of service for our community. In addition, I hope we would be able to
bring down the obesity rate.

Project Overview
If you have completed ideation and team formation, you should be able to write a short description
of your project (selected business idea).

Medical tourism services to members of our society. We will be targeting three markets for
presenting the idea and business concept. Our medical tourism services will differ from the
rest of competitors in the market. The concept will serve our society members and in the same
time will generate revenue for the country.

Main Achievements
We segregated the responsibilities of the roll up and the presentation. We had practice very
hard for long hours on the presentation. We practiced alone, with friends and even family
members to get the confidence to deliver. We agreed that every one of us should summarize
their section of the report.
