BPK9 International Hospital Achieves GHA Accreditation for Medical Tourism

Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) has launched HealthStars EXCELerator, a solution designed to accelerate innovation and maximize a business’s opportunity for success in the global healthcare space. Achieving success in medical tourism is ultimately about providing value to the patient.

Thanks to digital advancements, the first point of contact between international patients and medical travel providers is a website. Medical tourists can obtain all the essential information they require to make a medical travel decision without leaving their homes with just a click of a button. Therefore, your website forms an interface between your medical travel program and potential health payers and, as such, will likely have a strong impact on the success (or lack thereof) of your program.

For patients, the process of paying for healthcare services is often a stressful one. Will my insurance cover X treatment? What is the deductible and co-pay? Why do costs vary so much from one provider to the other for the same treatment?

Imagine for a moment that you woke up this morning with a very sore throat. You decide to take some zinc lozenges and head to work. However, by early evening you are feeling worse so you go to your local clinic to see a physician.

Increasingly, healthcare providers are operating in a multicultural environment characterized by interactions with patients who hold different values, world-views and perhaps even differing perspectives and practices regarding their health and wellness. This reality across providers can lead to challenges in providing culturally competent and respectful care.

One aspect that separates the medical travel industry from other forms of healthcare delivery is the travel component. Medical travel patients very frequently have to fly long distances to reach the destination and do so when they may have compromised health conditions.

In this interview with Wellness Tourism, the official wellness tourism website for Global Healthcare Resources, Ms. Kusuma Kinglek, Chief Executive Officer of Aonang Princeville Villa Resort and Spa highlights the current consumer demands for wellness and medical travel and how the GBAC STAR/GHA accreditation sets it apart as a global leader in the industry.
