As an industry that is still in the growth and development stage for many, medical tourism requires of its participants certification from a reputable organization because of the nature of the business.
Like any billion dollar industry, having a certification shows to potential clients or business partners that you or your company took that extra step to ensure the highest quality of the services that you offer.
Right now is a critical time for everyone in the medical tourism industry to get certified because of the complexity of the knowledge required to be a success. Being certified allows others to understand the seriousness of best practices within the industry.
When a patient is searching for someone to help them figure out what to do in terms of who is the best doctor, which is the best country, what hotel is close to the hospital, they will likely look for someone that has a proven track record of getting patients safely to the destination for a procedure and back home again.
A company or individual that has been around the industry for a while will likely have the most contacts that also have proven success rates with medical travelers.
