Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

Medical Tourism Packages (“MTP”, “we”, “our”, or “the Company”), operating through MTP Premium Enterprises Ltd. (Nevis, C 63514) and its affiliated entities, is committed to preventing acts of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, servitude, and child labor from occurring within our business and supply chain.

This policy applies to all MTP personnel, including officers, employees, independent contractors, consultants, agents, in-country coordinators, and any third party acting on our behalf. It also sets the standard we expect from all medical providers, hospitals, clinics, transportation partners, accommodation providers, and other suppliers within our partner network.

2. Our Position

MTP has zero tolerance for modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. We recognize that the medical tourism, hospitality, and cross-border services industries can present elevated exposure to trafficking risks, particularly involving labor exploitation in support services and the movement of vulnerable individuals across borders. We take this responsibility seriously.

3. Definitions

For the purposes of this policy:

Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, debt bondage, and human trafficking, where one person deprives another of their liberty in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.

Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power, or abuse of a position of vulnerability, for the purpose of exploitation.

Forced labor is any work or service exacted from a person under the menace of penalty and for which the person has not offered themselves voluntarily.

Child labor is work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential, and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development.

This policy is informed by international standards and applicable national legislation in the jurisdictions where we operate, including:

  • The United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (Palermo Protocol)
  • International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions 29, 105, 138, and 182
  • The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 (where applicable to client engagements)
  • The U.S. Trafficking Victims Protection Act
  • Panamanian Law 79 of 2011 on human trafficking
  • Colombian Law 985 of 2005 on trafficking in persons
  • Nevis and other jurisdictional anti-trafficking statutes applicable to our corporate structure

5. Patient Protection Commitments

Because MTP coordinates the cross-border movement of patients and their companions, we apply heightened safeguards:

  • We verify the identity of every patient through documented intake procedures and refuse service where identity cannot be confirmed.
  • We do not facilitate travel for any individual where coercion, deception, or third-party control is suspected.
  • We require all patients to communicate directly with MTP and to consent in writing to the procedures and services arranged on their behalf.
  • We do not coordinate procedures involving the transfer, sale, or commercial procurement of human organs, tissues, or reproductive material outside of properly regulated medical pathways with informed donor consent.
  • We are alert to indicators of trafficking among patients, companions, and accompanying minors, and we will report credible suspicions to the appropriate authorities.
  • We do not arrange services for unaccompanied minors except through verified parental or legal guardian authorization.

6. Supplier and Partner Standards

All medical providers, hospitals, clinics, hotels, ground transportation partners, translators, and other suppliers within the MTP network are expected to:

  • Comply with all applicable labor laws in their jurisdiction, including minimum wage, working hours, and freedom of association requirements.
  • Refrain from using forced, bonded, indentured, or involuntary labor of any kind.
  • Refrain from employing children below the legal working age and from exposing minors to hazardous work.
  • Pay workers directly, in full, on time, and without unauthorized deductions.
  • Refrain from retaining workers’ identity documents, charging recruitment fees to workers, or restricting workers’ freedom of movement.
  • Provide safe working conditions and respect the dignity of every worker.

MTP reserves the right to terminate any commercial relationship where a partner fails to meet these standards, with no contractual penalty to MTP.

7. Recruitment and Employment Practices

Within MTP’s own operations, we commit to:

  • Verifying the right to work and the voluntary nature of employment for every person we hire, whether as employee or contractor.
  • Refusing to charge any recruitment, application, or processing fees to candidates or workers.
  • Issuing written contracts in a language the worker understands, with clear terms of compensation, hours, and termination.
  • Permitting all workers to retain possession of their original identity and immigration documents.
  • Prohibiting any form of physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal abuse, harassment, or intimidation.
  • Respecting the right of workers to leave employment after reasonable notice.

8. Due Diligence

MTP applies risk-based due diligence to its operations and supply chain. This includes:

  • Reviewing prospective medical providers and major suppliers for adverse media, sanctions exposure, and trafficking-related findings before onboarding.
  • Including anti-slavery and anti-trafficking representations in our standard partner agreements and contractor agreements.
  • Periodic review of high-risk relationships, including providers operating in jurisdictions with elevated trafficking risk.
  • Maintaining records of our due diligence activities for at least five years.

9. Training and Awareness

MTP personnel who interact with patients, suppliers, or workers receive training appropriate to their role on:

  • The forms and indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking
  • Red flags specific to the medical tourism context
  • The procedures for raising concerns under this policy
  • Our obligations under applicable law

10. Reporting Concerns

Any person, whether internal personnel, partner, patient, or member of the public, who suspects a violation of this policy or any instance of modern slavery, human trafficking, or forced labor connected to MTP or its supply chain is urged to report it.

Reports may be submitted to:

Email: contact@medicaltourismpackages.com Subject line: Anti-Slavery Report

Reports may be submitted anonymously. MTP will not retaliate against any person who reports a concern in good faith, and we will treat all reports with appropriate confidentiality.

Where there is a reasonable basis to believe a criminal offense has occurred, MTP will cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the relevant jurisdiction.

11. Governance and Review

This policy is owned by MTP’s senior management and is reviewed at least annually, or sooner if material changes in our operations, supply chain, or applicable law require it. The next scheduled review is May 2027.
