MedTrava Announces Partnership with Hospital Clinica Biblica to Expand Affordable Medical Tourism

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 12, 2009 -- AUSTIN, TX , June 11, 2009 – MedTrava announced a strategic partnership designed to give Americans more choices for low-cost medical tourism destinations and greater access to premier Costa Rican medical care.

MedTrava, a leading medical tourism facilitator, is a trusted source for patients seeking high quality, affordable treatment overseas. MedTrava offers all-inclusive medical, cosmetic and dental packages at savings of 50-80% over the costs of healthcare in the US. Based in the US, the company has assembled a network of rigorously pre-screened, internationally-accredited healthcare providers around the globe.

Commenting on the partnership, Poonam Dhawan, founder and CEO of MedTrava, said: “At MedTrava we’ve long been dedicated to providing our clients affordable healthcare at an extensive network of highly-qualified doctors and world class facilities in global destinations. We are continually growing our network with providers that have the solid understanding and infrastructure to serve foreign patients and enable us to offer a greater selection of top quality healthcare options at low prices – a welcome reprieve for our uninsured, underinsured and even insured clients. Adding JCI-accredited Clinica Biblica to our network gives our patients another wonderful near-shore option that lives up to the high quality control standards. Given its proximity to the US and Canada and its tourist charm, Costa Rica is an attractive medical tourism destination.”

Providing a comprehensive set of services, MedTrava organizes every aspect of the patient’s medical journey, from connecting with them with qualified providers, arranging the travel details, and even ensuring a personal patient care manager to assist the patient at the medical destination.

Brad Cook, Clinica Biblica’s International Department director says, “Our hospital offers patients a wide variety of leading-edge medical procedures and treatments at affordable prices, yet is located just 2.5 hours from Miami. We are very excited about partnering with MedTrava, and allowing more patients to experience the quality of care available at Hospital Clinica Biblica.”

Clinica Biblica is an internationally accredited hospital based in San Jose, Costa Rica. Widely considered one of the premier hospitals in Central America, the hospital boasts Central America’s only integrated surgical theater, offering high-definition imaging during surgery and enabling simultaneous interaction with other operating rooms or areas. This technology allows the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, resulting in surgeries with fewer anesthetics, less bleeding and quicker recovery times.

Given the short flight time between the U.S. and Costa Rica, patients can take advantage of low-cost, quality medicine that is just a few hours away. The partnership offers patients the quality assurance of an internationally-accredited hospital and the history of patient satisfaction with a leading medical travel facilitator.
