A recently launched website www.flyfreeforhealth.com - seems to be based in Singapore - talks about travel to different hospitals for treatment without paying air-fare but after being pre-approved for the treatment, which seems to be mostly cosmetic in nature.

Of course, this is of no particular interest to PreviMed as we are a business-to-business system maker and have no direct connection with any consumers or patients and really want to stay away from the cosmetic and the retail-type treatments.

It is interesting though how this got positioned in their local business press and how (if you scroll down on that article) it got an angry response from a reader.

While this is outside of PreviMed’s scope - we are strictly about B-to-B, non-cosmetic, non-dental  treatments  with accredited hospitals - it is still intersting to note how dental treatment needs are taking folks from US and Canada (and for that matter Western Europe) to China, Hungary, Argentina and other destinations.

 A few weeks ago, Fortune magazine had some story about Hungary as the destination (not limited to dentistry) and now Sydney Morning Herald has a story on this here.It talks about how many Australians are leaving the continent for cheaper thdrills  !
