With just 2 months to go until the deadline for entry to the IMTJ Medical Travel Awards 2017, let me introduce you to the experts who will be tasked with judging the entries.
We select our judges based on their knowledge and expertise within medical travel, medical tourism, health and wellness – between them they have hundreds of years’ of experience!
The judges are assigned to one or more category and each submission is judged completely independently against a predetermined set of criteria. Their combined ratings decide the Award winners.
