2007-12-03
Washington, DC—3 December 2007: Healthy Travel Media and the Taiwan Non-Governmental Hospitals and Clinics Association (TNHCA) jointly announce the launch of the Patients Beyond Borders Taiwan Edition, to be published in English for international distribution in May 2008. The Taiwan Edition will be formally announced at the International Medical Travel Conference 3 December, in Washington DC.
The 336-page guidebook will offer an in-depth overview of Taiwan’s 20 international hospitals and clinics, selected health travel agents, nearby recovery and guest accommodations, and area travel information.
"Located centrally between Tokyo and Hong Kong and with some of the best healthcare in Asia, Taiwan receives visitors from more than 30 countries throughout the region and the world,” says Healthy Travel Media CEO Josef Woodman. “The huge Chinese population in the US and other nations makes Taiwan a natural medical travel destination.”
Prices for procedures are on par with leading healthcare providers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, and patients can receive 30-80% discounts on a wide array of treatments. Newly JCI-accredited hospitals, such as Min Sheng Healthcare and Wan Fang Hospital in Taipei, provide additional comfort to international medical travelers. At least three additional hospitals are expected to receive JCI-accreditation in 2008.
“As our reputation as an international healthcare leader grows, we are pleased to offer the Patients Beyond Borders Taiwan Edition to a growing market of medical travelers,” says Dr. Mingyen Wu, CEO, Taiwan Task Force on Medical Travel and Secretary General of TNHCA. “Readers will see the vast diversity of medical facilities, treatments, and services offered throughout Taiwan.”
