DAL: Global Operations

What we do is simple: we build global networks that help patients find affordable healthcare of the very highest quality available today.

The US healthcare system provides world class healthcare, but it's not the only one. Places like Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Germany, Dubai, France, Australia, Brazil and many others offer equally world class quality healthcare. In some instances the healthcare available in these countries is even superior to that available for the average US citizen. Further, depending on the procedure or treatment that needs to be done, places like Mexico and many of the countries of Latin America  offer healthcare that surpasses what is available in the US. Why is this so? Because in many of these countries advanced forms of treatment are already available, treatment that will not be available in the US for a dozen or more years, often because of the lengthy testing periods required by the FDA.

The steps involved in helping patients find healthcare treatment around the world are simple:

1) Via our Medical Doctors International division we enroll into our network qualified, Board Certified, licensed world class physicians from only those countries whose healthcare services meet our criteria. These "Treating and Proctoring Physicians" are among of the most qualified global physicians available, and are certainly world class in their own areas of expertise. To supplement this network of physicians, via our Hospital International division, we  enter into agreements with hospitals that qualify as International Centers of Excellence.

2) We link the participants of this global international network with our own US network of physicians, so that patients receive from the combined entity the highest standard of care and quality available, all offered under the auspice of US physicians.

3) To assure that this network is responsive to patient needs, we underlie this with a global technical infrastructure of IT platforms and websites that can be used to help obtain information on healthcare options, provide social networking so that patients can talk to others who have undergone similar treatments, and even travel sites where professionals are available to handle all of a patient’s travel needs. The objective of this infrastructure is to secure the highest quality of care available, worldwide. The front face of this infrastructure, the part patients see, is managed under our Medical Travel International division.

We're proud to say that our international and domestic networks help patients gain access to the best medical treatment money can buy, usually at prices that are 30 - 80% more affordable than those being charged in the US. Call it Medical Travel if you will, or even Medical Tourism... the fact is that what we offer is access to world class healthcare, at truly affordable prices.
