Taiwan and South Korea see success in medical tourism collaboration
Skift Take
Medical tourism isn't just about prices, it's about patients feeling fully confident in the destinations they're receiving the services. South Korea and Taiwan's reputations should make them popular spots.
The states of Taiwan and South Korea are to collaborate on building medical tourism facilities in the nation.
The two nations have agreed to enhance cooperation and collaboration to improve medical tourism, after they identified their comparative strengths within the growing market and set about creating a cooperative to mutually maximise those strengths. Recently, a Taiwanese group visited South Korea to learn how to expand medical tourism, and in the interests of helping each other in the common initiative, health and travel professionals in both nations have agreed to expand such exchanges.
