June 22, 2006 - DTI-Cebu Chamber of Commerce's Business Month ended with a big bang today. The main venue is the convention center of Waterfront-Lahug where many activities happened simultaneously, including a very extensive exhibit of Cebu's major trade players and conferences in different venues on different aspects of Cebu Business.

One of the bigger conference was the section on Medical Tourism. The existing major players in Cebu's infant medical tourism business presented interesting perspectives on the issue. Dr. Amores presented "Medical Tourism - the Experience at Cosmetic Surgery Center of Asia". A very interesting discussion followed the presentation.
It became too apparent during the conference that if ever the Philippines wants to get serious about medical tourism, it faces the serious task of institutionalizing this novel segment of medicine. It can start by integrating the disjointed (and at times haphazard) efforts of DTI, DOH and DOT.
