We arrange
treatment abroad

Traveling to another country to receive medical services for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, as well as plastic surgery and dental interventions, is called differently, both “medical tourism” and “treatment abroad”.

Many specialists and companies organizing trips abroad for medical purposes prefer the second name since it is the world-class medicine that is the main goal of such a trip abroad, and tourism-related services are an important but auxiliary issue.

The main reason for patients leaving their country to receive treatment and diagnostic services is the lack of certain types of treatment or the low level of their performance at the place of residence. In this case, advanced medicine will help in those countries where there are:

• the best specialists in the world;
• the latest technology;
• innovative materials and drugs;
• modern hospital service.

A trip to another country is the logical and sometimes the only option for saving lives, avoiding disability, and curing serious illnesses in children and adults.

In the modern world, medicine in a number of countries, for example, in clinics in Turkey, is available to a large number of patients. For example, patients from Kazakhstan with a variety of diseases and those people who seriously care about their health and need even standard surgical operations and medical treatment procedures make a choice in favor of foreign specialists. As well, many people want to improve their appearance abroad.

Most often people go abroad:

• for the treatment of oncological and hematological diseases in children and adults using high-tech medical techniques (for bone marrow transplantation, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, proton therapy);
• for the treatment of rare (orphan) diseases;
• for minimally invasive surgery (for example, for scoliosis in children and adolescents, for heart and brain surgery, for robotic interventions, hip and knee replacements);
• for the IVF procedure;
• for reviewing the diagnosis and obtaining a second opinion on the treatment regimen from leading experts.

• all types of plastic surgeries are also in demand, including hair transplantation.

Currently, the leaders in providing world-class medical services to patients from many countries of the world, taking into account statistics and reviews, are Israel, Germany, Turkey, and South Korea.

Since the 90s of the last century, patients from the CIS countries have been coming to Israel and Germany, and now the situation has not changed much. Only the medical centers of these countries feature:

• some innovative treatment programs;
• narrow specialists with a very high level of qualification work;
• the most high-tech equipment;
• the most innovative methods of treatment for most diseases.

At the same time, an excellent alternative in terms of the availability of services (therapeutic programs and methods that favorably differ in the optimal cost/quality ratio) is the medicine of Turkey and South Korea. In these countries, everything advanced in the world in medicine is being introduced very quickly, and all doctors undergo training in the USA and Europe.

There are a number of points that also distinguish the stay of foreign patients in these countries. In South Korea, the treatment of these patients and the quality of services are carefully monitored by special government agencies. Therefore, this country is preferred by residents of a number of CIS countries.

The website of one of the most authoritative statistical resources in the world provides information that in 2021, of all foreign patients treated in South Korean clinics, 2.4% came from Kazakhstan, 1.4% from Uzbekistan.

In Turkey, the traditions and services of international tourism are integrated into medical tourism, for example, in the excellent service in hospitals, which are like first-class hotels. On the website of the USHAŞ organization, which was created by the Turkish Ministry of Health to promote local medicine for foreigners, you can find information that medical services were offered to 670,730 foreign patients in Turkey in 2021 and to 876,521 patients from other countries in the first three quarters of 2022. The number of patients from Kazakhstan is growing especially fast.

Prices for the same medical services vary depending on the country, the level of the clinic and the doctor, the equipment used, the method of therapy, and drugs in this particular country. It is no secret that the price level in Germany and Israel, in general, is always higher than in Turkey.

There are two main ways to choose a country, clinic, doctor, program and method of treatment, taking into account the price of the entire package of both medical and tourist services, and organize a trip abroad:

• on one’s own,
• with the help of a company providing medical tourism services

To make the right choice, it is first advisable to evaluate the features of these two options.

If you have acquaintances/relatives abroad and/or experience with treatment in foreign clinics, you can most likely arrange your own trip to another country for medical purposes. However, this will take a lot of time and effort.

First of all, collecting and processing a lot of necessary information by browsing a lot of sites dedicated to the treatment of your disease and then choosing a country, clinic and doctor is a very difficult task in the context of a huge selection of clinics and international specialists. Especially people who are far from medicine.

It is also very important to find a qualified translator and be sure that the translation will be accurate, with all the nuances, which is especially important when it comes to medical interventions.

As well, you need to organize the departure itself: purchase tickets, take care of a visa (if needed), book a hotel room next to the clinic for an accompanying person, transfer from the airport, and many other important points.

This is not a complete list of issues that will have to be resolved independently. Sometimes it should be made directly during the trip. For an unhealthy person, it is important to know that everything is taken into account in advance and everything goes according to the intended treatment plan and without stressful situations, even if it is an urgent or complex medical case.

Therefore, it is better, as in all important issues, to make a choice in favor of professionals and specialists in organizing treatment in foreign clinics.

Organization of treatment abroad is a complex activity that includes many aspects of both medicine and tourism.

A company that you can trust with your health is, first of all, a very informed organizer of medical services. Coordinating doctors must demonstrate a high level of expertise, know absolutely everything about treatment in clinics, medical centers and doctors they cooperate with, including prices, and respond to any questions related to the organization of departure from the country for the purpose of recovery.

Such an organization must have at least 5 years of experience (only during this period a database of qualified doctors with good reviews can be developed). This can be clarified by carefully studying the website of the operator of such services. Also on the website of such a company you can find key information on the treatment of your disease in foreign clinics and other useful information.

Specialists and experts in treatment abroad have visited many clinics and personally know many doctors and translators. A good company will always offer several treatment options in different clinics, taking into account the requests, wishes, and budget of patients. It has good reviews about its services and stories of grateful patients on specialized forums, social networks, and other media.

Choosing a competent organizer for your trip abroad for the purpose of treatment is the first important step toward recovery!

Children are a special category of our patients, to which we pay special attention. In particular, Experts Medical cooperates with foreign funds that help pay for the treatment of a child if the family is unable to fully cover the necessary expenses.

We will help you prepare documents for submission to a charitable foundation, as well as communicate with this foundation. If the issue is resolved positively, the fund transfers the required amount (from $10,000 to $20,000) to the clinic’s account (these funds can only be used to pay for the child’s treatment). If less than the declared amount is spent on therapy, the remaining funds are returned to the fund to help other sick children. The criteria for paying with the fund are as follows:

• age up to 18 years;
• the need for treatment abroad (examination and rehabilitation are not covered by the fund).

Fundraising is an important part of our work with children.

• You apply to Experts Medical with a request for treatment. You should fill out the feedback form on our website or order a call back on the website;
