Physician-led medical tourism
Responsible growth, not volume. A U.S. physician partner who vets, refers, and stays accountable.
Medical tourism fails when nobody with a medical license is accountable for the result. Here, a practicing physician selects partners, reviews each case, and stays involved after the trip ends.

Founder & medical director
In those years I watched patients from the Gulf, Europe and the Americas travel for care with no physician on their side. A facilitator booked the flight. A hospital took the payment. Nobody with a medical license owned the result.
Nile Global Health is my answer. One physician reviews the case, chooses the partner, explains the cost before you travel, and stays with you after you return.

Royal Society of MedicineFAQ
Clear answers about the case review, costs, privacy and partnerships.
Yes. Choose your role in the form, and Dr. Akoury’s office will propose a 20-minute call instead of a case review.
Yes. The initial case review and written recommendation cost nothing. You pay only if you choose to go ahead with a journey, and every cost is explained before you commit.
If that is the right medical answer, yes. You will hear it from a physician, not from a hospital with a bed to fill.
Yes. Dr. Akoury is Egyptian-American. You can write to us in English, Arabic, French or Spanish.
No. This website gives general information. It does not create a physician–patient relationship, and nothing here is a promise of outcome.
