BITE 2007 will boast of a special ‘Medical Seminar’ showcasing cutting edge-medical treatment technology, as one of its key highlights this year.

Mr Jamil A Wafa, group chairman of Magnum Holdings, the parent company of event organiser’s Magnum Events and Exhibitions Management, said: “Medical tourism is carving an international niche market for itself as tourists make a beeline for the best available yet cost-effective treatment in different countries.
“One such country highlighting its medical strengths through a special Medical Seminar at BITE 2007 is Thailand, whose Phyathai Hospitals Group in association with Universal Travel Link.
“Bangkok will be proactively displaying the use of cutting-edge technology through ‘Wellness, Hospital and Medical Tourism Seminar session’. Such a novel initiative indeed proves that our endeavours to make BITE, a gathering of the right company, meeting the right people at the right time and a place where great minds meet, are on track.”
The medical seminar will also focus on new medical procedure and technologies, programmes that define methods of handling stress and wellness focussed lifestyles. It will be held this morning.
Dr Surapong Ambhanwong, chief medical and international business officer, Phyathai Hospitals Group, said: “BITE 2007 will be an effective platform for us to showcase our cutting edge medical treatment technology for bone marrow transplantation, stem cells therapy and paediatric heart surgery.
