Dear Mathew,

Interesting interview. Alot of the developing/Asian countries are trying to garner a larger share of the growing medical tourism industry.

Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and India are among the ones running the race. Lets see which country works fastest to address the needs of this industry and supports private enterprise to build a brand image that is both safe and reassuring to the travelling patient.

Singapore has a lot to offer in terms of tourism. Apart from the high-end things mentioned in your interview, people also go to Singapore for cosmetic treatments and vacation on the tropical island at the same time.

Arab patient education is invaluable for attracting Arab patients to medical tourism programs in Asia. In fact, there is a serious deficiency in Arabic cancer information because cancer in general is a taboo topic in Arab countries. For example, the web site provide cancer information about 44 different types of cancer in Arabic language. This information have requested repeatdly by European hospitals to help Arab cancer patients and their families.

Interesting article.

I think Singapore is well placed to grow with the medical tourism business. Its infrastructure is excellent and Singapore can deal with a very large range of medical procedures. Also, the Singapore brand is very carefully cultivated and very valuable. Singapore has a well deserved reputation for medical care.
