It was attended by board members of different hospitals and various businesses dabbling in hospitality, health, and wellness.

ASEAN meetings in the past months have identified Health Tourism as a possible strong economic driver the Philippines can focus on. Ambassador to New Zealand Mr. Jesus Gary Domingo is on board the materialization of Hea.RT's vision as a prime opportunity for a private sector-government partnership.
