4 ways to becoming a world-class Medical Destination

1. First, collect really good doctors preferably trained in the best centers around the world.[I think other than technical skills they should also be adaptable tothe needs of different cultures with deep understading of medical ethics and respectable to the norms and traditions of local community, and are supported by competent and hardworking staff and healthcare professionals]
2. Then, put them into slick heath care facilities, or even better , into a superb healthcare network. [With cutting-edge technology , new tools and methods and good infrastructure ... which i think can be accomplished with hiring a doctor with some prior work experience. But fresh doctors should also be welcomed. I think 50-50 fresh and experienced mixture would do good]
3. Third, connect the above two to a wonderful health care system [Finding reliable suppliers and partners, adding excellent health care research community and a regional medical educationcal hub would do]
4. After that, put them all into an accessible, convinient and safe country , with welcoming people, good accomodation, and great amenities , low crime rate and high secutrity measures .... [here, i differ if we keep putting all good doctors to good places ... where would the hopes and lives of the poor , rural and remote people would end ...] So I think fifth point should also be added
5. Put these best doctors of best hospitals for an agreed specified time , to areas where there are no doctors or medical professionals to help the local community, with a junior doctor to learn and carry out the duties after these best doctors are returned to their hospitals. But the one thing still needed remains to be usable equipment and medical facilities.... Then I think another thing is important ...
6. Train other staff, like nurses, health care professionals like wise. So that they are able to help and support these 'best doctors' effectively.
