For years, medical tourism has taken just a small part in the travel industry. Today, according to reports by Oxford Economics based on an analysis in 176 countries, the medical tourism industry is valued at 439 billion USD, with over 11 million tourists per year!

Over the next decades, the enormous growth of this industry is predicted, and the number of destinations offering medical programs is projected to grow from 25 to 50 per cent in the next 10 years.

The main reason for such a rapid growth is an availability of information provided on the Internet. Patients interested in services can easily get information about the quality of services, past experiences of other people, and the safety of the destination.

Another important reason is easy communication through new technologies, which ensures perfect organization of the entire process.

Also, more and more people share their personal experience, and people begin to realize that in many countries top-notch medical services can be used at significantly lower prices.

It turned out that the most important role in the organization has those who facilitate the process itself. They are called facilitators. These persons are not employed in the clinic, but are located between the patient and the clinic, enabling the complete program of arrival and stay to be carried out smoothly and according to a pre-arranged plan. The existence of a facilitator has greatly helped the development of this area. Their assistance enables uninterrupted use of services, as these are teams that exclusively deal with the organization of medical journeys and know the complete process.

viamedi.co recognized the quality of domestic medical service providers and decided to provide these services to people abroad. As facilitator viamedi.co provides its clients with a complete travel organization service, constant help during stay, and facilitates communication with clinics.
