I REFER to the report “Travel council soon to boost health tourism”(The Star, June 10).

Fomca has been very wary of the various developments of healthcare tourism of late. We have noted the obvious industrial push for its expansion and the Government’s pursuit for its development as a revenue generation source. We, on the other hand, express concerns over its growth and also over the Government’s policy direction in the healthcare sector.
