During the International Cruise Summit, which took place from 12 to 13 November in Madrid, medical tourism in the cruise sector will play a very important role. For this reason, HM Hospitales International Patient has been collaborating very actively for years not only in the congress, but also in all the health services in the cruise and travel sector.
HM Hospitales International Patient offers a personalised care service, with exhaustive patient monitoring, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
HM International’s mission is to ensure that patients are treated preferably in their own language and can return on board as soon as possible. A highly qualified medical team, together with multilingual patient assistance staff known as «welfares», has been trained to care for international travellers. The services most requested by travellers are related to traumatology and cardiovascular issues. On the other hand, crew members who work for periods of six to nine months outside their country of residence and who have specific medical needs, request traumatology, dermatology, cardiology, dentistry or psychology services, among others.
Geographically, HM Hospitales International Patient has comprehensive service for tourists in the main ports of the country, Barcelona, Vigo, A Coruña, Málaga and Bilbao. HM Hospitales has become the private hospital group of reference for caring for both international cruise passengers and crew.
From the hospital centres in Barcelona, A Coruña and Málaga, patients can be cared for directly at the port. In addition, HM Hospitales International Patient has an accompaniment service so that they can return to the ship before it embarks again.
Over the last 10 years of experience, thousands of cruise passengers and crew have been assisted, accompanying them at all times, with personalised attention, speaking their same language and informing them of their progress. In addition, HM Hospitales International Patient contacts the patient’s family, if necessary, and manages their repatriation, processing the relevant certificates and permits through the «welfares».
HM International’s objective is to offer solutions to ensure the physical, mental and emotional well-being of all those who live on board any cruise ship.
