Protect medical tourists with MTQUA Medical Travel Patient Registry service

Tell the embassy, in case of a medical tourism emergency

Medical travelers who have chosen to undergo in another country a major procedure in which they may be placed under general anesthesia should inform their embassy where they will be, should anything unplanned occur. With proper planning and preparation, such an unexpected occurrence is rare.

Privacy

Even if the intention of having the treatment abroad is to protect one’s privacy, it is important that medical tourists not act foolishly. Those who may not want to inform their embassy of their medical plans may, as an alternative, register confidentially with the MTQUA Medical Travel Patient Registry.
