Business Talk

Medical Tourism and Longevity Care in Asia

Date: 8 July 2026  | Time: 10:30 – 12:30 | Room : Conference Room Hall 5B

As healthcare demand in Asia evolves, hospitals are no longer competing only on treatment quality, but on their ability to deliver higher value care journeys for international patients and ageing populations. This session explores how medical tourism is expanding beyond episodic treatment into prevention, rehabilitation, long stay recovery, elderly care, and longevity focused services. It brings together perspectives from medical travel, hospital care delivery, and private hospital leadership to examine where new demand is growing and how providers can respond. The discussion will also highlight how hospitals can strengthen service models, partnerships, and positioning to capture future opportunities in cross border healthcare and longevity care across Asia.
