Dear distinguished public and health organization leaders and representatives, who are giving service to all humanity of our world!
Welcome to Medical Travel Exhibition and Conference MTEC. Almaty – 2014!
As Founding Chairman of the Global Healthcare Travel Council, I am very proud and honored to be a part of MTEC. Almaty–2014 and I am thankful to my partners, who organized this great Exhibition and Conference.
The millennium year became a new era for exporting health and wellness services to humanity from its producing centers. Conservative rules and barriers thrown up by local authorities have been the largest obstacle of these developments. However, with the growing necessities of these services, large health service gaps between countries and limited financial sources will show us that this development is essential for the future.
Today's world health expenses have reached 6 trillion USD. Every day it is growing, and soon, it will become an unsustainable situation.
A 2013 WHO report shows, that at 11 USD per citizen, Eritrea has the lowest health care financing. The highest is in Luxembourg, at 8262 USD per citizen. These figures are a very clear example of the huge gaps in health care coverage figures between the countries.
A Health Affairs magazine article said that in 2013, we spent 750 billion USD on unnecessary health services. This amount of money would have been enough to extricate all of Africa's health epidemics. To spend carefully, for only the best quality services, and at reasonable prices needs to be our mutual goal. We need to avoid wasting valuable financial resources.
Since 2011, totally inorganic heart operations have begun, which has saved many lives with these new technological advances. Each passing day, new technologies are being developed which produce new organs for our bodies. Someday in the near future, it is very possible half of our bodies will operate on these man made organs, prolonging our lives.
As executives of these tasks ahead of us, we have a responsibility to create new ways of providing equal and quality health services to the world, to humanity. We need to come together to overcome all these obstacles, in order to be able to give a healthy world to a new generation.
As Global Healthcare Travel Council, "Our long term vision is to become a model organization for promotion and delivery of healthcare services to all world citizens"
I wish you to have successful Exhibition and Congress and please, remember, that "Global Healthcare for all!"
Sincerely yours,
Emin Cakmak
Founding Chairman Global Healthcare Travel Council
