Medical tourists for a bladder cancer test. You gotta be joking
Thats not what medical tourism is all about--Its about eye surgery--operations-Root canals etc. (Big cost Items.
You reckon those kind of numbers are worth it? (Catering to the rich really slams the numbers)
Setting up a few selected clinics for loaded foreign tourists for a bladder test? I dont think so.
PEB wouldn't need a large army of salespeople to market its product to a few selected clinics there that want to offer their loaded foreign clients the newest, most reliable and least unpleasant diagnostic procedures. And it's not a question of whether Cxbladder would be covered by a local health insurance scheme - that's irrelevant. Nor would it be necessary to offer Cxbladder at cheap rates to attract the local peasantry. The foreign medical tourists who are the target market will in some cases have their own generous health insurance cover, and in other cases they will simply be willing to pay from their own pockets. If they've spent thousands of dollars travelling to Singapiore for treatment, are they going to argue over the odd couple of hundred dollars difference in price?
If initial inquiries have shown promise, as DD says is the case, I say PEB would be absolutely silly to say "oh no, we have to ignore such opportunities and focus only on waiting for the US bureaucratic machinery to grind into action". No one's saying Singapore or Bangkok will bring the big numbers of tests that could eventually flow from US approvals, but to me it seems like an opportunity not to be ignored.[/QUOTE]
