MyMEDHoliday.com has added the Philippines as one of its top medical tourism locations. The Philippines offers lower cost medical procedures at accredited medical facilities and relaxing recuperation spas on its scenic islands.

Lathrop, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/09/2013 -- International medical tourism has a new hotspot, according to health and wellness travel portal MyMEDHoliday.com, which has added the Philippines to its list of top medical tourism destinations. "Medical tourism in the Philippines is consistently growing," said Jidapa Julakasilp, Co-founder and Managing Director of MyMEDHoliday.com. "It's not as readily recognized as a medical tourism destination like other long-established countries, such as Singapore, India or Thailand, but the Philippines has great potential."

One reason the Philippines has been recognized for medical tourism is the relatively low cost of medical treatment. In addition to affordable surgical procedures, medications as well as accommodation and transportation are inexpensive due to lower cost of living expenses when compared to other countries. The hub of Filipino medical tourism, the capital city Manila, has more than 2,000 hospitals and specialty clinics as well as many popular tourist destinations. "Several leading hospitals in the Philippines have an established international partnership with hospitals, such as New York Presbyterian Hospital and its medical schools at Columbia and Cornell Universities," said Julakasilp.

Staffed with highly-qualified medical personnel, medical facilities in the Philippines provide patients with courteous, English-speaking staffs who have been trained internationally. In many cases, employees spend two months a year working in the United States for advanced studies. With immediate treatment and no insurance hassles, the Philippines provide a tension-free atmosphere for patients during their treatment. Once patients move on to the healing phase of treatment, they have the option to recuperate on any island in the country where they receive skilled after-care services. Relaxation and natural health centers offer spa packages that include detoxification and organic foods, meditation and massage.

Travel to the Philippines is easy from most major international airports, and English is spoken by 90 percent of the population. United States and Canadian visitors also enjoy a 30-day stay without a visa and can apply for a visa if a longer stay is necessary. More information about medical tourism in the Philippines can be found at MyMEDHoliday.com.

In addition to the Philippines, MyMEDHoliday.com extensively details several other medical tourism destination hubs in Asia, including Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, India, Malaysia, China, and Taiwan, helping tourists find the best and affordable healthcare providers for their needs. Its advanced search tool eases patients to locate hospitals and clinics based on specific criteria like international accreditation or language support. The site also offers 'send inquiry' and 'get a quote' features which gives patients access to contact single or multiple providers directly at one click.

Bangok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/03/2013 -- Health and wellness travel industry portal MyMEDHoliday.com has been named a media partner for the second annual Malaysia International Healthcare Travel Expo to be held October 20 through 22 at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre.

"We are honored to be a part of the second annual expo and to help promote medical tourism in Malaysia." said Jidapa Julakasilp, Co-founder and Managing Director of MyMEDHoliday.com.

Medical tourism has experienced a sharp increase due to factors such as the use of highly sophisticated technology in Malaysian hospitals and the comparatively low cost of healthcare in Malaysia. Also contributing to a recent increase in medical tourism is a population of highly trained, multilingual medical professionals, as well as Malaysia's tranquil atmosphere for recuperation services and relaxed travel visa guidelines that allow medical patients to obtain an extension for up to six months. "Malaysia has now become a premier medical tourism destination in the region," said Julakasilp. "This beautiful country has a high quality of medical providers from which to choose.

China is the latest destination to be added to medical travel company myMEDholiday.com’s robust health tourism portal, joining other Asian medical tourism hotspots such as Thailand, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea, due to its high-quality doctors and hospitals, and its affordability.

Lathrop, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/18/2013 -- myMEDholiday.com is a leading medical tourism portal that provides extensive information about the medical tourism industry, including a catalogue of certified healthcare providers in top medical-travel destinations in hotspots like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, India, South Korea, and now China, which is poised to become a popular location for medical travelers due to its low healthcare costs, high-quality clinics and hospitals, and mix of modern and traditional medicine.

According to the medical research department at myMEDholiday, "The Chinese healthcare system has made huge strides, and now features numerous internationally-accredited hospitals, English-speaking doctors, modern clinics practicing various specialties, and a lead position in Asia's thriving stem-cell research community, so with so much to offer international patients we felt it was a perfect fit for our site."

Bangkok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/10/2013 -- Leading medical tourism portal, myMEDholiday.com, has made another informative post to its wide-reaching blog, this time pertaining to the intriguing potential for Western-based insurance carriers to provide medical-tourism coverage.

Citing US insurance companies specifically, the article acknowledges this recent development as "outside-the-box" thinking, and provides examples of several major firms who have introduced coverage – or added enhancements to existing coverage – that include provisions for the costs of healthcare received across borders.

myMEDholiday.com is renowned for providing comprehensive information about the world of medical travel, and seeks to inform people about cost-effective medical treatments in Asian countries such as Thailand, India, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore. They offer users access to over 500 select facilities from all walks of healthcare and its blog aims to keep clients abreast of the industry's latest news and trends.

The post about medical tourism insurance coverage was intended to make patients and even healthcare benefits administrators aware of the potential savings that these kind of arrangements offer. A leading marketing representative at myMEDholiday said, "Adding provisions for receiving cross-border, in-network care has the potential to really open things up for patients and for providers in places like India, Thailand, and of course Mexico and other locations near the US like Costa Rica. We felt we could contribute to the discussion by talking about the plans, costs, and how much protection they offer to our clients, medical tourists."

As this excerpt from the blog notes, "This is seemingly a win-win situation as it affords the insured more options and lower out-of-pocket costs, and the insurers are paying significantly less to the healthcare providers for their services." In addition to satisfying one of the main tenets of MT, which is affordability, especially for Americans, it brings into play the other half of the medical travel experience, which is the holiday aspect, and with it the compelling possibility for healthcare and vacation to be tied together as fringe benefits.

The post mentions managed healthcare company WellPoint's arrangement with a broad medical network in India, Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina's (BCBSSC) direct relationships with facilities in Asia and elsewhere, and Aetna's cross-border deal with an HMO program in Mexico, and it can be found at myMEDholiday.com.

Visiting buyers will be treated to presentations about the most popular areas of healthcare in Thailand for overseas medical travelers, namely, cosmetic/plastic surgery, fertility treatments, holistic/anti-aging care, and cell therapy & regenerative medicine, with proceedings taking place at the Centara Grand Hotel at Central World in Bangkok.

This year's FAM Trip extends beyond the presentations and one-on-one meetings between buyers and sellers, as special educational outings are scheduled for both buyers and media to visit participating sellers' hospitals, clinics, spas, and health resorts to experience first-hand a variety of popular medical & wellness services on offer in Thailand.

Participants will be indulged with medical screenings, dental checkups and treatments, Thai massage, and various skincare procedures not only in Bangkok, but also in medical travel hotspots - and renowned beach paradises - Hua Hin and Phuket.

A high-ranking public relations representative at myMEDholiday.com says, "Thailand is one of the world's leading medical tourism destinations, and as the industry continues to boom, the high-quality healthcare offerings in Thailand continue to increase as well. An interactive trade event like this is a great way to ensure that overseas medical tourism facilitators stay up-to-date with what Thailand has to offer.

myMEDholiday.com, the leading provider of information pertaining to healthcare facilities in select Asian health-tourism destinations, has expanded its medical provider’s directory, bolstering the listings of specialist clinics through the addition of hair transplant centers.

Stockton, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/20/2013 -- For anyone new to the concept of health tourism, it encompasses traveling abroad for not only traditional medical procedures like hip replacements and weight-loss surgery, but also health & wellness care – which broadly covers many types of health-enhancing treatments from homeopathy, to Ayurveda and Chinese Traditional Medicine, to rejuvenating massage treatments and aromatherapy – at significantly reduced prices, or with better expertise, than can be attained at home.

Hair transplantation is a common health-promoting cosmetic procedure with indirect benefits from improved appearance and self-esteem. An expert on specialist clinics at myMEDholiday.com said, "Hair transplantation is growing steadily as an elective procedure that healthcare cover in places like America won't pay for. Since costs are so much lower in established health-tourism destinations, adding these clinics to our listings is another way to assist medical travelers."

The hair transplantation clinics listed on the website are based in India, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, and are advanced facilities employing the most modern surgeries for treating hair loss, while also offering popular non-surgical hair-replacement products, usually on an out-patient basis.

Provider listings on myMEDholiday.com allow visitors to choose healthcare facilities that are best for them on the basis of location, pricing, and personal preferences – such as whether a facility employs English-speaking staff, or is internationally accredited – using a robust search tool. And, in addition to hair transplant clinics, the other specialist facilities listed on the site are for cosmetic/plastic surgery, dermatology, dentistry, holistic/anti-aging care, LASIK/eye surgery, fertility, and rehabilitation.

Lathrop, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2013 -- In what has become a frequent occurrence of late, myMEDholiday.com has expanded its offerings yet again, this time in its "Medical Providers" directory, a key area of the firm's enlightening web portal that provides a wealth of important information to the growing number of worldwide medical travelers.

A marketing representative from the company said, "Everyone seems to know someone who's had LASIK, and as a result, more and more people are considering it themselves. It has become very popular as a medical travel option, as have many other eye-care procedures, so given this growth and the substantial cost-savings achieved by having it done overseas, it was necessary to add these providers to our site."

The country is also attracting large numbers of foreign patients due to the extremely high quality of its clinics and high-tech hospitals.

One high-ranking operations specialist for myMEDholiday.com said, "The quality of doctors and hospitals in Seoul, for instance, is extremely high.

Lathrop, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2013 -- The website - a portal which provides visitors with bundles of information about affordable health care services providers and useful content associated to medical tourism - has ensured that their instructive blog has all the features that any great blog does, and is also conducive to social media interaction.

There are also links near the bottom border - to recent posts and keywords within the blog - which makes it easy for guests to find information on specific topics in which they're interested.

Several widgets populate the right-hand side of the blog, including ones which allow readers to find other myMEDholiday.com users on Facebook, and to read the company's latest tweets or send tweets themselves.

And, visitors are even reminded of the second half of the "medical travel" equation as the blog features a new, easygoing background picture of gentle, frothy surf washing up on a sandy beach.

Bangkok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/03/2013 -- Eligible providers include hospitals, specialist clinics, medical tourism companies, home healthcare agencies, and wellness spas, all of which must be qualified and up-to-date with the latest trends and medical technology. By adding their profiles, these facilities benefit from improved online visibility and increased traffic to their websites, all while maintaining the ability to update their profile at any time.

When asked about the profiles contained on the site, one representative said, "myMEDholiday.com is a respected name in the medical tourism business because we provide so much information about the industry, particularly in Asia. The inclusion of free, in-depth provider profiles fits in with our goal of giving patients the tools they need for improved health."

But it is not only Asia that the portal aims to cover.

Bangkok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/28/2013 -- People looking for information on the medical tourism industry are becoming familiar with myMEDholiday.com, a portal that provides a robust bundle of features to anyone considering a trip overseas for healthcare. The site contains detailed profiles of over 400 healthcare providers in Asian countries known for their advanced medical care centers such as Thailand, India, Singapore, and now, Malaysia.

In addition to the profiles of various doctors, hospitals, and clinics spanning all fields of medicine, the site includes an interactive tool with which patients can access facilities directly; a powerful search engine which can recommend treatment centers based on specific criteria such as accreditation, affiliation, and language support; and a dynamic blog that covers an array of important topics.

Information pertaining to the countries represented on the site can be accessed easily through a drop-down tab called, appropriately, "Destinations". There you will find a brief summary of each country's medical tourism capabilities, a synopsis of the overall healthcare system there, listings of the most popular cities for medical tourism so you know exactly where to go for what treatment, facilities listed by type or by specialty, and a rotating list of highlighted providers.

One high-ranking member of the company's Asian-operations team says, "Asian countries such as Singapore, India, and Thailand have established themselves as heavyweights in the multi-billion dollar health & medical tourism market by offering patients from abroad the chance to receive convenient, high-quality, and affordable healthcare that they can't get at home. At this point in time, it makes sense to include Malaysia as it starts to emerge as a serious player as well."

The "Destinations" page featuring myMEDholiday.com's newest location includes a summary touting Malaysia's new-found prominence as a medical tourism haven, its new and internationally-recognized hospitals and clinics, the highly qualified doctors and specialists who practice there, and a look at some of Malaysia's better-known fields of expertise such as cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, infertility treatment, and reconstructive surgery . It also cites its reputation as a premier vacation destination due to the balmy tropical climate and warm hospitality. Like the other Asian leaders, Malaysia claims to satisfy both halves of the healthcare travel equation with a successful "medical" infrastructure and a thriving "tourism" industry, too.

Each facility listed in the medical travel "Destinations" pages is qualified and up-to-date with the latest in healthcare technology and trends, and has met myMEDholiday.com's strict membership criteria before having their profiles listed free of charge.

myMEDholiday.com is a leading medical tourism portal who offers an array of in-depth information about the medical travel industry in Asia, and they’ve recently made another upgrade by adding Rehabilitation to their healthcare services catalogue.

Thailand, Bangkok -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/15/2013 -- This new category can be accessed via the easy-to-use Medical Treatments drop-down menu which features providers and procedures in various disciplines of medicine in Singapore, India, and Thailand.

The site defines Rehabilitation as "a process of medical and psychotherapeutic treatment used to reintegrate a person back to society," and includes information on speech, occupational, and physical therapies, as well as alcohol & drug addiction treatment, and neuro-rehabilitation.

An upper-level marketing representative at the company observed, "Rehabilitation centers are such an important part of the healthcare community, and we recognized an opportunity to better serve our clients by adding them to our listings.
