Mark Cohen attended the World Medical Tourism and Global Health Congress in Los Angeles in October. The 3-day conference featured approximately 1,500 attendees from the public sector and private sector, health insurance companies, employers and insurance companies. Mr. Cohen met with the President of the Medical Tourism Association and with the MTA’s Asian Director. “Medical tourism is a fascinating new industry,” says Cohen, “and it raises some unique legal issues.” TCLG is presently assisting IJN (the National Heart Institute of Malaysia) in partnering with western medical providers and medical tourism faciliators.
