My Medical Gateway Blog

My Medical Gateway (MMG) offers a 10% discount to all UK veterans as a meaningful gesture of thanks for their service. Additional 5% discounts are available to students, athletes and disabled users. MMG’s mission is to make safe, affordable treatment abroad more accessible to those who need it most.

At My Medical Gateway (MMG), our mission is simple: to ensure that fast, affordable, and world-class medical care is available to everyone who needs it – especially those who have served their country or society with distinction.

That’s why we’re proud to offer a dedicated 10% discount to all UK Veterans. It’s more than a gesture – it’s a commitment to recognise the sacrifices made in uniform, whether at home or abroad.

This initiative is led by Lieutenant General Sir James Bucknall, KCB, CBE, former Commander of NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps and now Chair of MMG’s Veterans’ Initiative. Sir James, who served for nearly four decades in the British Army, has lent his name – and his voice – to this cause.

“As a former soldier with 37 years’ service, and now as a member of the My Medical Gateway Team,” he writes, “we recognise the burden that British Veterans have borne in the defence of our Country, and the toll on health and wellbeing which too often accompanies service in our Armed Forces. MMG is proud to offer you this discount – or if you prefer, to donate it on your behalf to a UK veterans’ charity. Foregoing our fee is MMG’s way of thanking you for your service, not just in words, but through meaningful action.”

But MMG’s discount programme doesn’t stop there.

We believe that high-quality medical treatment should not be the preserve of the wealthy or the well-connected. That’s why we’re offering 5% discounts – the equivalent of waiving half our platform commission – to others who give so much to society or face significant barriers to care. This includes:

• Students aged 18–30, navigating the pressures of early adulthood and often neglected in traditional healthcare planning
• Registered professional athletes, who may be sidelined by injury but can’t afford long delays in recovery
• Registered disabled persons, who often experience disproportionate delays or gaps in public health systems

These discounts apply to MMG’s Treatment Packages, which include hospital stays, airport transfers and post-operative care. All hospital pricing remains completely transparent and unchanged, with no hidden mark-ups.

Applying is simple. After registering at www.mymedicalgateway.com, users need only email info@mymedicalgateway.com with proof of eligibility (such as student ID, disability certificate, or a governing body letter for athletes). Once verified, the discount will be applied before payment is confirmed.

Looking ahead, MMG is actively reviewing further discount categories, including retired NHS workers, registered carers, and teachers in public education. If you represent a deserving group not yet listed, we invite you to get in touch. Your voice matters, and your service deserves recognition.

In a world where too many are waiting too long, MMG is working to lower the barriers to treatment – starting with those who serve.
