Conference summary
The project Medical Tourism in Portugal of the Health Cluster Portugal intends to significantly increase the provision of medical services both abroad and internally, as a destination for medical tourism of high clinical and technological quality.
Portugal has a wide network of clinics and qualified dental professionals, recognized for their delivery capacity and the humane way in which they raise the standards of their practice.
This makes it possible to provide international patients, as well as national patients, with high-quality treatments according to the most advanced scientific standards.
This session will discuss the current ongoing strategy for dental medicine, as well as some of the economic benefits and general concerns to consider in health tourism.
