Medical Tourists Looking for VIP Services in Iran

Behnam Shakibaie, the founder of microscopic dental surgery in Iran, says VIP services should also be offered to travellers.

Speaking in a recent conference on medical tourism in Tehran, Shakibaie said the VIP Medical Tourism Plan focuses on VIPs.

He said there are individuals in the world who want the best specialists to give them medical services regardless of the costs.

“The necessary infrastructure should be provided for such tourists,” he said.

He said the stage should be set for attracting travellers demanding VIP medical services.

He said most foreign travellers who need medical services have been coming to Iran with tourist visas, which enable them to stay in the country for a long time.

Tabatabai urged organizations in charge to work more professionally and make the necessary arrangements and plans to attract more foreign travellers demanding medical treatment.

“Given the high quality and good services in the country in the field of treating infertility, the nationals of Persian Gulf littoral states and Lebanon are keen to come to Iran for treatment,” he noted.
