Patients were adding new opportunities every day to help fellow patients who may want to receive healthcare tourism related services from your organization. If you would like your listing removed, please email the support team. As of January 11, 2007 we have closed this system so only the organization itself may register or submit healthcare tourism opportunities on our system.
