    Chapel Hill, NC (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

    Patients Beyond Borders®, the world’s leading source of consumer and industry information about international health travel, and Medeguide™, the world’s leading online international doctor directory, have formed a strategic alliance to provide patients with robust search tools for global healthcare options, and to provide hospitals and health travel third parties with a unique offering of branding and marketing tools for the international patient.

    Patients Beyond Borders and Medeguide will exchange their information and services, allowing patients everywhere to search hundreds of leading international hospitals and thousands of the world’s best doctors throughout Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the US by specialty, procedure, region, and cost.
