The International Medical Tourism Center announced Wednesday it has begun offering its services in Puerto Rico as part of its expansion from Costa Rica.
The Puerto Rican medical community will be delivering medical services and care to British Virgin Islands residents through a collaboration agreement struck last week between the HIMA Health group and the BVI’s Health Services Authority, and with the support of the Puerto Rico State Department.
With an economy still struggling and health costs soaring, many United States residents are opting to seek quality medical care at lower prices, and this is a niche that has enormous potential for Puerto Rico, as the island offers high quality healthcare at 40 percent to 60 percent less than the U.S.
