BTA, TMTC, Marengo Asia announce global partnership for medical tourism
New Delhi: To increase
medical value travel
(MVT) into India, BAPIO Training Academy (
BTA
), The Medical Travel Company (
TMTC
) and
Marengo Asia Hospitals
announced a global partnership on Wednesday.
The partnership was announced during a roundtable on medical value travel organised in London by BTA, TMTC, Marengo Asia Hospitals and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), and will initially concentrate on establishing a MVT pathway between the UK and India.
As part of the partnership, BTA, TMTC and Marengo Asia Hospitals will work seamlessly to ensure that patients receive a personalised end-to-end care offering including prompt consultations with highly experienced doctors both in the UK and India, treatment at BTA-accredited hospitals in India following UK treatment and infection control protocols, access to bespoke premium after-care facilities in India and private insurance upon return to the UK, stated the release.
In his remarks during the roundtable, Dr. Sanjay Jaiswal stressed that this partnership will allow Indian patients to travel to the UK for medical care. Furthermore, he said that 100% FDI is allowed in India and he encouraged UK investors and companies to increase their investment in Indian healthcare. This will be a win-win situation for the India-UK investment corridor and will attract patients from other countries.
Prof. Parag Singhal, CEO of BAPIO Training Academy, commented 'This global partnership is the first initiative of its kind and is fully aligned with BTA's objectives of elevating healthcare standards, strengthening the 'living bridge' between the UK and India, and improving patient outcomes in both countries.
Ankit Mehrotra, Founder of TMTC, remarked: 'We have partnered with the top medical professionals in The UK and the best hospitals and surgeons in India, set-up our state-of-the-art post-surgery recovery centre and launched the first of its kind post-surgery insurance product for the patient once they are back in the UK.'
Dr. Raajiv Singhal, Founding Member, Managing Director and Group CEO, Marengo Asia Hospitals, said, "Through this association, patients from the UK will gain access to timely, high-quality treatment at Marengo Asia Hospitals in India. They will also experience personalised care and the support of super-specialities that are often time-consuming to access in their home system.'
