Carmenza Spadafora, from The Institute Of Science and High Technology Services, explains the benefits of the project here: (Spanish only for now)

The province of Herrera, is on the way to becoming the home of a technological innovation park, the first of its kind in the country of Panama.

This initiative was presented to the authorities of Chitre by Jagannatha Rao, Director of the Institute Of Science and High Technology Services (INDICASAT-Ait), who mentioned for the project to materialize it requires 25 hectares of land in the Region of Azuero.

Rao said the idea is to produce inexpensive medicines in these facilities, and secure an export market for these products.

Funding will be provided potentially by several U.S. companies and the Government of India.

The director of INDICASAT mentioned that once the donation of land is secured, construction would begin in 1 month.

The municipal architect, Olier Avila, said that the municipality does not have the required 25 hectares, but that further consultations would be necessary to establish further meetings with local landowners to locate the perfect location.

Carmenza Spadafora quoted that this is a great opportunity for the city of Chitre, which has all the facilities and logistics. The cost is estimated at $ 60 million.

People 1st has signed an agreement to help set up a skills organization in Panama that is based on the UK model.

The new sector skills council will address the country’s skills needs in the hotel and tourism industry, following an agreement between the Panamanian and UK governments to improve cooperation in the field of education and skills.

People 1st was commissioned earlier in the year to produce a workforce profile and skills need report on the country’s hotel and tourism industry, which was launched at an event, World Skills for Panama, in August.

The new body will focus on addressing a number of requirements highlighted in the Skills 2020 report, including the need to provide suitable English language training for hospitality and tourism staff, and to offer a platform for employers and associations to discuss what skills are needed in the industry.

The Panama skills organisation will also look to introduce a world-class customer service training programme, similar to the one tailored for use at the London 2012 Olympics Games and Paralympics, and which is available to any business that wants to train its staff to the standards used at the Games.

Panama’s national institute for vocational training, INADEH, and the Panamanian government have agreed to provide support and resources to establish the skills council.

The British Embassy was instrumental in providing People 1st with the opportunity to become involved in the project. Michael John Holloway OBE, Her Majesty’s Ambassador, said that the UK skills body will play an important role in helping the country develop a skilled workforce.

Key employers and trade associations also agreed to support and engage with the new organisation. Herman Bern, president of Empresas Bern, one of the most influential companies in Panama’s hospitality and tourism sector, is to become the inaugural chairman of the sector skills council.

Chitre: A New Option in Health Tourism.

Publicado: 01/04/2013 por Stefany Morrison No hay Comentarios

Medicina en Chitre

 

For a number of years now, Panama has been a preferred destination for foreign patients looking for good medical care at reasonable prices. When the boom began, health visitors only sought medical attention in the capital city, but now they are also looking to the country’s interior.

Professionalism, affordable prices and excellent treatment are turning Chitre into a medical tourism destination par excellence.

• Accomodations

The wide range of hotels with affordable rates is another advantage that motivates tourists to seek medical attention in the “City that grows on its own”.

Health tourism is becoming increasingly popular in the city of Chitre, mainly due to the growing demand created by foreigners residing both in Herrera and the province of Los Santos.

Although a formal service to promote medical tourism internationally has yet to be organized for this region, area doctors are beginning to see this possibility as an excellent business opportunity.

A good private hospital structure, access to high-quality medicines, equipment and specialized medical personnel are some of the benefits foreigners consider when seeking medical services in Azuero.

They also seek costs that are better than those of their home countries, and even lower than those offered in Panama City.

Patient Recruitment

The vast majority of foreign patients traveling to the Azuero region – specifically Chitre – to receive medical attention, come on the referral of a relative or friend who already lives in the surrounding area and has used the region’s medical platform successfully, explains Dr. Jose Trinidad Castillero, medical director at one of the clinics that provides this service.

There are no statistics on the number of patients attended or their countries of origin, but this figure increases with the large number of Azuero natives who live abroad and usually return to the country when they retire.

In addition, there are those who want their children to be born in the same place they were born, says Castillero.

He added that patients from other areas of the country are also participating in this growing health tourism trend, traveling to Chitre for medical attention.

Reliable Service

Salvadoran Karla Guerra is married to a Panamanian. When she became pregnant, they decided their child would be born in Panama.

And although their son ended up coming into the world in the capital city and not Chitre, as his father had wished, the child is Panamanian; now both parents place their trust in Panamanian physicians over those in their country of residence.

Some of the main reasons that health services are promoted in Chitre are the good recommendations that patients give to others; the much lower costs; and the fact that patients can take advantage of their stay to visit nearby beaches or mountains, or participate in one of the region’s many festivals.

Dr. Castillero added that this movement of patients from abroad or other provinces began about 10 years ago, when it was discovered that this region offers the same level of facilities, preparation and specialized equipment as the capital city.

The services most sought after by health tourists coming to Chitre are dental care, orthopedics (joint replacement), ophthalmology, ob/gyn and general surgery.

Promotion

Chitre’s physicians are preparing to serve the increasing number of patients who come to the city as health tourists. They even talk about the possibility of organizing and promoting Herrera’s medical services abroad and in other provinces. But this will require a concentrated effort and large investments, and has yet to become a reality.

In the capital city, there are promotional businesses that offer health tourism packages. In Chitre, promotion has not yet begun, but travel agencies already see it as a great opportunity. July Ann Thomas, Marketing Manager of Panama Best Travel Agency, is optimistic in this regard, and believes that attractive packages can be put together to offer these services in the Azuero region.
