In recent World health tourism Congress in Cyprus, it was announced the launch of the International Association of medical travel (TAG E RAG).
The TAG E RAG seeks to represent the interests of medical travellers and the medical travel industry, including health care providers and medical travel facilitators. The Association currently has 26 registered members worldwide. Dr. Steven Tucker, Medical Director of Clinical Cancer Center West Excellence in Singapor, is President of TAG E RAG.
How successful will be the organization in developing internationally accepted standards and codes of conduct for medical tourism. ... who knows?
The medical tourism market is very fragmented, consisting of many smaller players such as doctors, dentists and individual clinics and diverse groups of hospital and medical tourism facilitators. Still, there's a company tried to take a very significant proportion of the market. It is likely that those who take the lead in this rapidly emerging market will be the standard setters that others will follow.
