Who founded The Medical Travel Company?
The founders of The Medical Travel Company are Sahil Jain and Ankit Mehrotra.
In the funding announcement, Sahil Jain, Co-Founder & CEO of The Medical Travel Company explained:
Medical tourism is a broken industry: patients face fragmented care, hidden costs, and zero support when they return home. The Medical Travel Company ensures true continuity of care across borders: UK doctors overseeing your care from start to finish, all-inclusive rehab and aftercare in India, and post-treatment insurance in the UK.
The company continued that what begins in the UK is the first chapter of a larger plan to transform cross-border healthcare access across the Western world and that it aims to provide continuity of care rather than medical tourism.
Where is The Medical Travel Company based?
The Medical Travel Company is based in London, UK.
What sector is The Medical Travel Company in?
The Medical Travel Company operates in the Healthtech sector. Healthtech covers technology that improves healthcare services and patient care. It uses digital tools to make medical care easier and safer for patients.
Key trends and challenges in medical tourism:
