Outsourcing in China: Medical Tourism Association joins forces to launch Asia-Pacific 2015 Global Healthcare Congress

The Medical Tourism Association and Beijing Great-Idea Business Resources Company Ltd. have partnered to hold the World Medical Tourism and Global Healthcare Congress Asia-Pacific 2015, Nov. 14-16, 2015, in Guilin, China.

"China's healthcare reform policies and shifting economic and demographic trends are creating new opportunities for international companies seeking to invest or partner with local firms in areas, such as hospital development, senior care, biotech and pharma," said Michael Zeng, CEO of Beijing Great-Idea Business Resources Company Ltd. "Our focus is to bring in the largest buyers of healthcare from China and private and public sector organizations seeking partners for investment, capacity-building and hospital affiliations."

Renée-Marie Stephano, President of the Medical Tourism Association, said the multi-year event will also include a five-day, three-city B2B and B2G trade mission with top Chinese executives.

"China is positioned to be one of the largest outbound medical tourism markets in the world, with rising income and a growing demand for the best medical treatments possible, coupled with the launch of health insurance for Chinese citizens that include travel benefits," she said. "This event is where east meets west, with a focus on creating new business partnerships and affiliations with Chinese and Asian companies."

Asia-Pacific will also be a major focus -- including several sessions dedicated to health and wellness in the region -- at the World Medical Tourism and Global Healthcare Congress, Sept. 27-30, 2015, in Orlando, Fla.

The World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress attracts some 3,000 key stakeholders – hospital administrators, doctors and clinicians, employers, government policy makers, insurance executives, facilitators, and hospitality and tourism interests – from across the globe to share their experiences and identify and solve issues that bear significantly on the industry.
