Dear colleagues,
While the COVID-19 pandemic has halted growth in the medical travel sector, expect the pace to pick up again throughout the new year as the opportunity for vaccines spreads worldwide.
In response to market changes prompted by COVID-19 and advanced technology, we are broadening our focus to include digital health: Medical Travel & Digital Health News not only features a new logo and layout, but also expanded coverage on this fast growing market sector.
Digital health is convenient, accessible and cost-effective and we are excited to expand our news and interviews with experts in both this space and medical travel to keep our readers up to date with the advances in these exciting fields.
In this issue, we speak with Andres Jurado, Chief Executive Officer, My Medical Vacations to discuss safety precautions for COVID-19 and medical tourism in Mexico.
We also bring you news on an increase in medical travel during the pandemic, breakthroughs in research and development in Alzheimer’s treatment, COVID-19 vaccines, healthcare workers’ perspectives on unionizing and more.
