The mentioned Awards are held annually by the International Medical Travel Journal team. The awards ceremony and dinner was organised and held together with the IMTJ Medical Travel Summit. EggDonationFriends Team would like to congratulate all the winners!

Why awards like this are important? The existence and market presence of organisations like IMTJ are highly appreciated not only by medical institutions and agencies but also by patients. The medical tourism sector needs constant monitoring and research so that the clinics and organisations involved can continually improve the level of their services to patients. Such competitiveness is healthy and challenging.
