Healthy people have thousand wishes, ill people only one: „to recover!“. This old saying reflects the priority of good health for each of us. Consequently, the healthcare system has always had a special priority in the work of the Austrian government.
Intensive research, state of the art infrastructure, a close cooperation between clinical research at the Universities with the doctors in the hospitals has made Austria one of the leading healthcare competence center of the world. Publications of internationally renowned institutions, i.e. Karolinstka Institute or HealthConsumer Powerhouse, underline the leading role of Austria in many areas of healthcare. The Know-How of Austrian medical doctors is highly valued by international experts committees. This is certainly an important reason why Vienna has become the worldwide number one host city for medical congresses.
Furthermore, Austria is also a worldwide leading holiday destination. Outstanding hospitality, breathtaking landscapes, lakes and rivers with water of drinking quality, comfortable climate conditions and highest level of security are highly valued by more than 30 Million foreign guests enjoying their vacation in Austria, each year. Austria is the country where leading medical competence and top quality touristic infrastructure merge with outstanding quality of living. As a result, people visiting Austria for maintaining and improving their health will experience a unique feeling of comfort and wellbeing.
In order to provide foreign people comfortable and quick access to the broad variety of high quality health and wellness services in Austria, the team of Premium Health Solutions has specialized on managing health and wellness trips to Austria and to support and accompany foreign patients in Austria. Premium Health Solutions stands under the umbrella of the Austrian Chamber of Medical Doctors which assures highest level of quality. As the Federal Minister of Health, I gladly support this initiative, since the comprehensive and high quality service offering of Premium Health Solutions assures optimal and high quality treatment and support for our guests, who are coming to Austria in order to maintain or improve their health conditions.
Very warm regards
Alois Stöger
Austrian Federal Minister for Health
