More than 150 participants from six countries gathered to discuss strategies for advancing medical tourism at a facility recognized for meeting the gold standard in healthcare quality.

Anna Minina, Forum Participant:
“The event was exceptionally well organized, with remarkable attention to every detail. The warmth and hospitality of the people make you fall in love with this country! I was particularly impressed by the incredible concentration of highly skilled professionals at the forum.
For us, this forum was an opportunity not only to learn from international experience but also to showcase the capabilities of healthcare in Russia’s Altai Krai region to the professional community.
Events like this create a valuable platform for physicians, clinic executives, and medical coordinators from different countries to engage in meaningful dialogue, exchange best practices, and work together to advance medical tourism.”
