Medical Tourism Association (MTA), the first for-profit trade association for medical tourism, is made up of international hospitals, healthcare providers, medical travel facilitators, insurance companies, and other affiliated companies and members with the common goal of promoting medical tourism in a global environment.
The Association promotes the interests of its healthcare provider and medical travel facilitator members. The MTA has three tenets: Transparency, Communication and Education.
The goal of these types of associations is often to raise awareness of medical tourism in the hopes of expanding the industry.
HealthCare Tourism International (HTI) is a 501(c) non-profit organization that is complementary to the Joint Commission International accreditation group.
Health care organizations can apply for self-certification or accreditation on the HTI website.
