New Arab League task force targets regional health tourism standards

Cairo, Sept. 8 (Petra) – A specialized Arab League working group
convened on Tuesday to begin drafting a regional legislative
framework for accrediting and licensing health tourism facilities.

The inaugural meeting, chaired by Algeria, focused on establishing
standardized guidelines for certifying medical tourism centers.
Participants reviewed regional models, including Algeria’s experience
in thermal and hydrotherapy tourism.

The initiative follows Resolution 362 from the 28th Arab Tourism
Ministerial Council’s regular session, which tasked the Arab League
General Secretariat and Bahrain with creating a model legislative
framework to boost and regulate the region’s medical tourism sector.
