Every year, about 350,000 foreign
patients come for outpatient treatments and consultations at
international private clinics and hospitals. If your practice have not
been attracting Arab patients, now you are able to do so at a nominal fee!

Average fee for foreign patients, who usually come for much
more serious problems, is $20,000 to $30,000/patient.
Typically, Arab patients will pay for all services (sometimes in cash)
before leaving the hospital.

Many countries, such as USA, Europe ... etc., have observing a considerable
increase in Arab patients seeking treatment abroad. For example, Johns
Hopkins increased its foreign patients twelve
fold in two years, to 7,200 patients. In fact, Hopkins
revenue
from foreign patients is $200 million
and 49% of foreign patients are
from the Middle East (Hopkins News 97).

at vacation spots. Also, vacation
areas are attractive to offer Arab patients complete annual
physical exams.

Arab patients will pay for all treatment when
rendered. In fact, Arab patients are known to pay large
deposits toward their treatments.
“I got a wire for $75,000 for a deposit...
The patient isn't even here" said Regina Grisales, International Patient
Coordinator, Tampa General Hospital (see “Arab Market Research information”.
