The second “Medical Value Travel (MVT) Summit 2026” is scheduled to take place in Chattogram on 14 November, aiming to enhance international connectivity in the medical tourism and healthcare sectors.
Organised by Chittagong Medical Travel Forum, the summit will be hosted at The Peninsula Hotel in the city. Representatives from hospitals, doctors, and healthcare sector delegates from various countries will participate in the event.
The primary objectives of the conference are to create information and communication channels for patients seeking medical treatment abroad and to strengthen linkages between the local healthcare sector and international institutions.
The organisers highlighted the various aspects of the summit during a press conference held on Sunday noon at The Pavilion Restaurant at GEC Circle in the city.
The press conference was attended by Mohammad Abdul Alim Raju, president of Chittagong Medical Travel Forum; Nurul Anwar Jibon, vice-president; Daud Arman, vice-president (International Relations); and Alauddin Manik, general secretary.
The organisers said a significant number of patients from Chattogram region travel abroad every year for advanced medical treatment.
To make their treatment process smoother and information-driven, establishing direct communication between international hospitals, doctors, and experts with the local healthcare sector is essential.
The summit will facilitate these connections while offering avenues for quality improvement in medical services and the exchange of professional expertise.
Hospital representatives from China, Malaysia, India, and Thailand will participate in the summit.
Patients and their relatives will be able to speak directly with representatives of the participating hospitals to gain insights into healthcare services, available facilities, and treatment procedures.
The event will feature business networking meetings among hospital and healthcare representatives, panel discussions, and special sessions on future action plans for the healthcare sector.
Discussions will also take place regarding the establishment of bilateral relations at an international level.
Speaking on the occasion, Mohammad Abdul Alim Raju, president of Chittagong Medical Travel Forum, said that since many patients from Chattogram go abroad for treatment each year, direct communication with foreign hospital representatives will allow patients to gather all necessary information.
The organisers expressed hope that the conference would deepen ties between Chattogram’s healthcare sector and global institutions, advancing local healthcare while making access to international-standard medical care easier and more transparent for patients.
