Turks and Caicos to branch out into Medical Tourism

Turks and Caicos, May 9th 2017: Moves to make Turks and Caicos a medical tourist destination are on the cards. While the idea has popped up in times gone by, a return to the drawing board on making it a reality is back on, after Health Minister Edwin Astwood attended a World Health Care Congress in Washington DC earlier this month. The two-day educational event served to bring together health agencies such as the CDC and the American Hospital Association as well as other stakeholders in health care, and regional health ministers. Minister Astwood hopes the Turks and Caicos can develop a niche health care market with a reputation of “excellence in patient care, patient experience and satisfaction.”

His attendance focused mainly on areas dealing with Medical Travel, and fostering relations with the US, Caribbean and Latin America, on lending support and bringing customers to the TCI as a destination for Health Care and Medical tourism. Astwood underscored the workshop as a learning experience to him and what it takes in developing a successful medical tourism program.
