It is with great joy and excitement that we welcome the participation of the Minister of Economic Development of Curaçao, Mr. Nasser El Hakim (Click to see the Minister’s Profile), to the list of attendees at the 3rd Global Ministerial Summit on Medical Tourism on October 24, 2012 at the Westin Diplomat hotel in Ft. Lauderdale / Miami!!
Minister Nasser El Hakim will be participating in this global, ministerial summit with other Ministers of Health, Tourism and Economy from over 50 countries in a roundtable format to share information about existing programs and best practices in Medical Tourism.
The Ministers will also be exposed to many ideas to develop programs as well as to create strategic alliances that generate revenues for their countries while improving the medical care and medical access of their own population. The agenda topics are listed at http://www.medicaltourismcongress.com/en/ministerial-summit.html
Minister Hakim will also be involved with the Caribbean Ministerial Summit on that day, which will be focusing on the development of infrastructure for inbound medical tourism to islands, and also addressing a group island collaborative effort to reduce healthcare expenditures, engage the local population in healthy behavior and reduce rising health conditions, and reduce or limit the rising expense of local population traveling out of the country for healthcare.
This Summit will focus on collaboration and providing a new roadmap forward for Island Nations in their healthcare infrastructure.
In order for a country to develop and grow its medical tourism industry, it is vital that its Ministers of Health, Tourism and Economy, as well as Trade Commissioners, Consul Generals and VIP international officials attend this Global Ministerial Summit (by invitation only) where best practices in the medical tourism industry are shared and promotional programs and channels are presented.
Please forward this information to your country’s Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Health or Ministry of Economy in order to participate in this very important summit which will be of tremendous benefit to your country’s health and economy. For Ministers to receive an invitation to attend, and have the USD$1,500 Congress registration fee waived, please contact Armando@MedicalTourismAssociation.com
I will keep updating our community on confirmed attendees over the next few weeks and months until the start of the Congress.
