guide from the Arab Health portfolio, designed to make navigating the GCC healthcare industry easier to understand. We hope this guide will act as a valuable tool for referring your patients for the best treatment, both within the GCC and further afield. The past few years have been a
D
challenge for the tourism industry worldwide, from the global financial crisis to rising oil prices; from the epidemic of swine flu to the volume of natural disasters. As health professionals, we must constantly adapt to the changing situations affecting the healthcare industry. In this guide, we feature articles from
Germany, India and Jordan, all of which are popular destinations for patients from the Middle East region seeking specialist treatment in certain areas of healthcare. Approximately 20% of all healthcare seekers worldwide are from the Gulf and Arab states, with UAE patients alone estimated to be spending over US$2 billion on medical travel every year. Individual
ear Doctor and partners of the medical travel trade, I am delighted to welcome you to this new and valuable
hospitals and clinics in each of these countries feature in the guide, helping you to make the best possible referrals for your patients. The UAE should also not be forgotten. The Middle East has a unique dual position in the medical tourism industry: on the one hand the region is well developed, hospitals are trying to stop the outflow - even attracting an international audience. On the other hand, international health organizations are tapping into the affluent Middle East society. An ever-evolving destination for healthcare and tourism, the UAE government is plugging a lot of money into improving the healthcare services in the country, and several facilities are making their mark on the healthcare tourism map. Turn to page 20 to find out more. I hope you find that this guide reflects
the importance of the healthcare tourism industry and I look forward to working with you in the coming years.
