What are the major offerings at Medix Global for the APAC region?

Medix Global is a leading provider of innovative healthcare management solutions and APAC has been a significant focus of the group in recent years. Rather than focus on expansion in North America and particularly the US, we have decided to deploy an Asia First strategy and have made significant investment and expansion since we first set up our first office in Hong Kong in 2013. Today, our footprint in APAC includes offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Melbourne and most recently in Mumbai as well in addition to our offices in London and Tel Aviv. Our service offerings vary slightly depending on the market, but our range of services includes: personal medical case management; disease prevention management services; medical concierge & medical tourism, digital health & AI driven solutions; services for high mobility employees; home care, clinical strategy and medical governance services. It is important to clarify that Medix does not provide any form of treatment and does not replace the customer’s treating physician but rather offers value added personalised medical management solutions that empower patients and ensure they are receiving access and implementation of quality care no matter where they live. We pride ourselves in servicing customers in over 90 countries.
