  • Bangkok Dustit Medical Services is down -27% for international patient revenues
  • Malaysia’s revenue stream from international patients dropped 53%
  • I believe medical tourism will see brighter days ahead..be like the mythical phoenix rising from the ashes
  • Here’s why: 1) people love to travel 2) wait lists are increasing as hospitals are closed to elective surgeries to make way for Covid cases 3) healthcare inflation is skyrocketing around the world..making global healthcare a better value
