At InterMed Global, we believe concern for and commitment to
international patients leads to a trusting and dedicated partnership
between medical travellers and those who interact with them and
care for them before, during and after their medical journeys. We
are pleased to share our experiences with you and to help you become
a successful and responsible participant in this exciting new industry.
Our medical travel subsidiaries, Cosmetic Surgery Travel and
Surgery Travel International, have been featured in top publications
including Reader's Digest, Frommer's Guides, Patients Beyond Borders,
The Washington Post, and Asia Spa. Our international patients have
been presented on U.S. network television.
International patients are all vulnerable in so many ways, large
and small, that the typical hospital employee or manager does not
comprehend and therefore cannot provide help for them.
Patients themselves are not aware of their vulnerabilities. They
seldom appreciate how quickly a seemingly ordinary situation can
become a crisis. They don't understand how few rights they have
in fact without a knowledgeable advocate or representative by their
side.
We urge medical travel facilitators to use professional, experienced
staff on-site at the medical destinations where they send patients.
InterMed Global is pleased to offer its own on-site services, or
those of other leading agents, to facilitators or patients who want
a patient advocate or patient representative to be in attendance
for the patient.
