Press Release Summary: WorldMed Assist assisted Tina Iovene in flying to Turkey to

been quoted in the U.S.

Press Release Body: Staten Island, New York,Jan 02,2008-- -- Medical Tourism company
WorldMed Assist (www.worldmedassist.com) assisted Tina Iovene in flying to Turkey to
take advantage of having quality cosmetic surgery at less than half the price she'd
been quoted in the U.S. Just ten days after her departure, she was back home,
healing quickly from dual surgeries: correction to the rhinoplasty done in the U.S.
four years ago, and breast augmentation.

"When I smiled, my nose was crooked, and it was hard to breathe on one side," Iovene
said. "My doctor in the U.S. wasn't interested in redoing the surgery-he said I was
too picky, and my nose was fine. But it didn't feel right, and it didn't look right
and I wanted it corrected. I started researching how much it would cost to fix in
the U.S., along with breast augmentation I'd been planning. I learned that both
procedures would cost about $18,000 in the U.S., and I checked prices in several
states."

Iovene took to the Internet to investigate overseas options, and found a few
websites offering medical travel options that appealed to her. But of the three she
zeroed in on, only one-www.WorldMedAssist.com-clearly stood out for the quality
destinations and friendly and professional customer service it offered. Through
WorldMed Assist she learned she could have both procedures done at the brand new
Anadolu Medical Center in Turkey with a highly skilled plastic surgeon.

"It's not hard to find stories in the media about cosmetic surgery done abroad that
U.S. cosmetic surgeons later have to fix," said Wouter Hoeberechts, CEO of WorldMed
Assist. "But here's a case where her surgery four years ago in the U.S. did not
have the desired outcome, and a highly qualified surgeon in Turkey was able to
correct the situation."

"I was very comfortable with both of my decisions: going to Turkey, and having
WorldMed Assist put it all together for me," she said. Contributing to her comfort
level was learning that Anadolu is internationally accredited and has a strategic
partnership with a major US Academic Medical Center.

WorldMed Assist arranged a teleconference between Iovene and Dr. Emekli after
transmitting her medical records and photos to Anadolu. "The surgeon assured me
everything I wanted to accomplish was achievable. In fact, he picked up on some
issues about the rhinoplasty I hadn't even noticed," she said. "He was very
observant, and I felt completely comfortable with him. WorldMed Assist then handled
all the arrangements, so all I had to do was pack and board the plane."

She was equally impressed with the hospital once she arrived. "It's very modern,
and didn't look like any hospital in the U.S. I'd ever seen," she said. "Inside, it
is very airy and warm. My room looked out onto a beautiful sea."
She found the people at Anadolu as warm as her surroundings. "Everyone was very
helpful throughout my stay. If I needed anything, all I had to do was ask. The
nurses were attentive and helpful, and if English was ever an issue, a translator
was always nearby to help."

During recovery, her liaison gave her a day-long tour of the city and took her out
to dinner. But mostly, she was more a medical traveler than medical tourist. "I
didn't much feel like walking around with a cast on my nose," she said.
By the time she arrived home, the scar on her nose had disappeared, and scars under
her breasts were quickly fading. "I'm a pretty good healer," she said. Tina's mom
is equally impressed with her daughter's results and based on her recommendation is
in the process of having WorldMed Assist put a package together for her.
