Choice Medical Services signs with Cubanacan to house consumers going for medical care

Cubanacan Turismo y Salud oversees more than 25 of Cuba's finest hotels, luxury resorts, restaurants, and other tourism properties for serving health tourists. Among the group's hotels and resorts are the El Comodoro and Chateau Miramar, both in Havana, the Brisas Guardalavaca in Guardalavaca and the Brisas Sierra Mar Los Galeones in Santiago de Cuba. “Teaming up with Cubanacan allows Choice to provide our patients with the very best in medical care and access to fine resorts and hotel accommodations for a rapid and pleasant recovery,” said Bill Doran, CEO of Choice Medical Services. Doran signed the agreement in a meeting with Dr. Andres Piloto, president of Cubanacan Turismo y Salud, at Cubanacan's corporate headquarters in Havana.

“With Choice Medical Service's assistance, we look forward to welcoming many more patients that can benefit from Cuba's highest quality medical care and warm hospitality,” said Dr. Piloto.

According to the agreement, Choice can offer North Americans patients who are currently faced with extended wait times and exorbitant costs, access to safe effective and affordable healthcare. “We are very pleased with this contract as it helps patients with their medical needs, it supports the Cuban economy and aids the Cuban people, and it reduces pressure on the healthcare system here at home,” said Doran.

While Choice Medical Services launched its Canadian and U.S. marketing activities in early July, Doran says the firm has been excited by the strong initial consumer response. “Based on our website traffic, with each day, we've had a growing number of visitors from across Canada, the U.S., and other countries,” said Doran. “So far, our confirmed patient figures have been on track with our goals.”

Based in Winnipeg, Choice Medical Services is a privately owned medical tourism firm that helps consumers worldwide to access safe and affordable medical care in Cuba. Obtaining healthcare in Cuba, patients can save up to 80% off of high U.S. costs. Choice's patients typically are Canadians who cannot endure waits of up to three months or more for care, and uninsured and underinsured Americans, many of which otherwise would be unable to afford the proper healthcare.

All procedures are conducted by licensed and experienced doctors, nurses and their staff. Choice will be adding more treatment destinations in coming months. Travel agents interested in learning about Choice's sales opportunities for the travel trade industry, e-mail: info@choicemedicalservices.com.
