Mumbai-based Forvol International Services, an associate company
of the Forbes Group, is working closely with international insurance companies
for inbound traffic opting for medical tourism. Says Sushil Bhatt, COO, Forvol
International Services, "India is a booming medical tourism destination
with a high level of expertise. Taking that into consideration, we are working
closely with overseas insurance companies and social security authorities to
facilitate smooth transit of patients into the country."
Forvol International has seven branches (one each in Delhi,
Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Cochin, Pune and two in Mumbai) and is also looking
at expanding to Ahmedabad and Hyderabad. It is also focusing on technology.
"Our programming development department in Pune will put together all the
packages and all our offices would be integrated and synced from the front-end
as well as the back-end with hotels and other partners working with us. With
integration of technology, not only will we be able to service our customers
better but also concentrate on investing in certain sections of business that
have better long-term returns," added Bhatt.
Apart from medical t ourism, the company is concentrating
on customised tours. "We want to concentrate on the up-market segment who
want to try new destinations and ideas," concluded Bhatt.
