BookDoc is a medical tourism platform that connects people with healthcare services in different countries, and its recent partnership with TripAdvisor is making the platform even more far-reaching.
The services' already-existing features include an "integrated online ecosystem for local and overseas health travelers" which connects them to healthcare professionals. BookDoc's partnership with TripAdvisor will allow clients who use the platform to search for restaurants and attractions that are close to the appointments they made. This partnership was designed specifically for medical tourists in Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia -- regions which have some of the best healthcare systems in the world.
BookDoc's more comprehensive approach to aiding in medical tourism makes it more likely that people will take advantage of its other services.
