“The best way to experience medical tourism is through a local concierge service, with years of experience in the travel and medical field. It is the safest and least stressful option for any patient.” – Lies Deneys.
AN INTRODUCTION
As a patient of Dr Moodley Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon in Cape Town, Lies Deneys – founder of Mappa Travel, noticed how some international and even South African patients didn’t get to fully appreciate their plastic surgery journey. They were in unfamiliar terrain and arrived a bit unprepared. Some patients didn’t make appointments timeously and therefore didn’t foresee certain hiccups associated with the process.
After years as an incentive travel coordinator and project manager, Lies realised a medical tourism concierge service is the answer for those travelling to Cape Town to have any surgery or treatment done.
