| Nueterra, a global healthcare management company, has significantly invested in making healthcare a global proposition. Healthcare is not restricted to geographic boundaries, said Dan Tasset, chairman of Nueterra. On November 13 Reuters cited an Ispos study which stated that one out of five people would definitely consider traveling abroad to seek medical or dental treatment. By adding business development specialists, support staff and regional presidents, Nueterra’s capabilities span four continents. The investment into healthcare being a global proposition is greater than just staffing, said Tim O’Brien, chief operating officer for Nueterra. Our expansion is developing relationships to improve healthcare. In 2012 Nueterra hosted its Borderless Healthcare Symposiums in the Bahamas, Peru and Barbados. Throughout Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) we are establishing relationships with physicians, creating partnerships and improving healthcare, shared O’Brien. The Borderless Healthcare Symposiums highlight seminars from ranked US physicians who educate international physicians on topics of interest. Nueterra is increasing the level of care available in country, including tertiary care, such as transplants or cancer treatments, through the Nueterra Global Alliance, an international network of best-in-class doctors and health systems that can deliver specific care. The anchor facility for the Nueterra Global Alliance is Ochsner Health Systems, Louisiana’s largest health system. Ochsner has treated the first patients from the Nueterra Global Alliance after a symposium event in the Bahamas. We are thrilled we could help connect the physicians and create the partnership in the Bahamas, shared Steve Harmon, chief executive officer of LAC and EMEA Operations. Lives are being bettered because of Nueterra-we are taking healthcare forward. In Barbados Nueterra is partnering with a group of local physicians to create a community-focused healthcare facility. This proposed facility will include women and children’s services, surgical specialties (orthopedics, neurosurgery, spine, general and ENT). Subspecialties not available on location will be accessible through telemedicine and specialist visits. As patients continue to explore new healthcare options, Nueterra knows the future of healthcare includes international offerings and capabilities, and is positioned to provide healthcare access across the globe. |
