World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress

I'm really pleased to have been a part of the 2nd annual Congress event organized by the Medical Tourism Association. While last year I moderated the spa panel, this year I moderated a panel on Integrative Medicine.

Below is a partial reprint from the MTA blog
The Medical Tourism Association’s 2nd annual World Medical Tourism and Global Health Congress (http://www.medicaltourismcongress.com/) was held in Los Angeles this past week and achieved great success. Over the course of three days, the annual global conference featured approximately 1,500 attendees from the public sector and private sector, health insurance companies, employers and insurance agents attended the conference largely due to work of MTA. It also featured over 160 speakers and 120 exhibitors and sponsors.
Over 60 countries participated in the conference which focused on the high quality of care and the investment in healthcare throughout the world. The conference also featured Ministers’ Roundtable where Ministers of Health and Tourism addressed the opportunities and challenges of the industry in their respective countries.

Have you heard of Nubs and his owner? This is the true tale (tail) of the relationship between a dog and a man.



Or have you read Eckardt Tolle's recent book "The Guardians of Being?"

Recommend it.
