Rebuilding Medical Tourism by Putting Doctors Back at the Center
Three years ago, I lost a dear friend, not to illness, but to negligence in the medical tourism industry. It wasn’t just a personal tragedy; it was a wake-up call.
This loss, combined with my background in digital service design, turned my grief into a mission: to rebuild medical tourism from the ground up, with doctors at its core, not agencies! (Aram Pakravan)
The Broken System We Aim to Fix
The current model places control in the hands of agencies and brokers, creating a chain of risks and injustices:
- Doctors pay heavily to market themselves internationally or rely on agencies that take excessive commissions.
- Surgeons are pushed into exhausting, high-risk schedules, sometimes performing multiple procedures simultaneously.
- Patients are treated like tourists, often recovering in unsanitary, unequipped hotels instead of proper medical facilities.
- Communication between doctor and patient is often blocked, leaving both in the dark.
- Information is manipulated, patients undergo unnecessary or poorly explained procedures.
- Recognition goes to agency brands, not the doctors whose skill and care save lives.
- Payments to doctors are delayed, reduced, or withheld altogether.
This isn’t just inefficiency, it’s dangerous. I have seen it cost lives.
A Vision for Change
Imagine a system where:
- Doctors manage their own profiles, set their own fees, and present their real qualifications.
- Patients choose openly, with full transparency on costs, qualifications, and treatment options.
- Every service provider (hospitals, translators, hotels, insurers) offers their services independently, without being hidden behind an agency brand.
- Trust replaces secrecy, and quality care becomes the main driver of success.
This is not just possible, it’s necessary.
Why FlytoDoc Exists
After my friend’s death, I made a promise: to build a platform that protects patients and honors doctors.

Our mission is simple but powerful:
Make medical tourism about medicine again, not about margins.

We know change won’t come easily. Those who profit from the chaos will resist. But the future belongs to a model where:
- Patients are safer
- Doctors are respected
- Transparency wins
At FlytoDoc, we’re already making that future a reality.
