These surroundings can be very comfortable and peaceful even while assuring the patient of high-level follow-up in medical counseling.

Passport Medical is a full-service medical tourism facilitator with offices in the US & Canada. We are committed to providing information that will enable the client to make an educated and informed decision about their available healthcare options.

Our company was spawned out of personal frustration due to high cost and extremely long wait times for medical procedures. After personally experiencing healthcare in several different countries, it was clear that high quality, cost-effective options did exist, and we wanted to bring that knowledge to others. We found this industry to be a natural extension of our many years of business and travel industry-related experience.

Passport Medical continually looks to improve itself by attending conferences with industry players and has personally traveled to many countries to assess the quality of doctors and facilities. We are fully committed to travel and personally visit each destination and medical facility in our ever-expanding network and to have an intimate knowledge of our health partners worldwide.

This intimate knowledge of the medical destinations we offer, and the close relationships we have fostered, gives us greater confidence when informing clients about facilities and healthcare professionals.

The Medical Travel CommissionTM

The Medical Travel CommissionTM certifies hospitals that support Medical Travel initiatives. The MTC has created a review process leading to certification that includes support of Best Practices to increase credibility in the Medical Travel industry through transparent and unbiased standards. All rating criteria are directly traceable to patient care and support. The MTC was founded out of a need for a neutral entity to bring credibility and transparency across borders, cultures, and special interests to the Medical Travel industry and advocate for patient safety and support.

The Certification process brings credibility to countries that promote national Medical Travel initiatives, improves the care and services delivered by hospitals, and assists in the constant improvement in the experience and outcomes for International Patients. The Certification guidelines were developed by an inter-disciplinary team of experts with backgrounds in hospital administration, Quality Measures, clinical records, certification protocols, and medical ethics. The initial phase of the certification process involves an informational stage in which the hospital is educated on the Medical Travel Commission’s review criteria.

Hospitals that participate in the MTC Certification program have shown their commitment to International Patients. The Medical Travel Commission’s Certification provides patients with the knowledge that those hospitals have voluntarily submitted to be reviewed and monitored with a comprehensive set of criterion created and monitored by an external organization. A hospital’s ongoing compliance to Certification demonstrates a commitment to continual improvements. Based on feedback provided during the process from the Medical Travel CommissionTM, hospital management can modify or initiate new programs to achieve levels of certification beyond the core certification.
Jim Tate, President and Founder of the Medical Travel CommissionTM, has a 30 year history in health care delivery in both Inpatient and Ambulatory environments. He has worked directly with over 135 Health Information Technology organizations on their projects and has led numerous health care system implementations in the United States and Asia. Jim has worked across borders, languages, and cultures with health care clients in the US, India, Pakistan, China, Ireland, Scotland, Israel, South Korea, and Peru.

The MTC Advisory Board includes physicians, Certification and Quality Measure experts, and consultants to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services for the development of Best Practices. Our principals reflect credibility, expertise, and long standing careers in international relations, health care delivery, Quality Measures, clinical administration, patient advocacy, and electronic health records.

We combine holistic therapies with traditional medicine with our Healthy Mind Body Program, which includes reflexology, massage, acupuncture and sessions with a trained counselor.

Barbados Fertility Centre is the only fertility unit in the Caribbean region to hold the prestigious JCI gold seal of approval and therefore meets high standards and undergoes stringent testing to ensure patient safety and world class operating procedures.

Our medical team is continually researching the area of assisted reproduction technology and employ cutting edge techniques to improve a couple's chance of success. With a purpose built state of the art facility we offer procedures like Vitrification, the fast freezing of embryos, which has greatly improved our success rates. We also offer Pre Implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) to ensure the best quality of embryo is transferred, again increasing the patient's chance of a pregnancy.

The combination of a beautiful resort forcing couples to unwind, along with holistic therapies and cutting edge technology has made Barbados Fertility Centre a centre of excellence for IVF and this is reflected in our success rates, which are 71% using Blastocyst - leaving embryos to culture for 5 days as opposed to the usual 2 days employed by many fertility clinics.

We are also able to offer a full IVF cycle at $5750, which is less than half the price of US clinics making Barbados a very viable option for US patients to travel for treatment.
