Modern methods of examination, therapy and surgery allow patients to solve many health problems. Treatment of diseases abroad most often covers the following areas:

• Oncology. Treatment of breast, liver, lung, intestinal, soft tissue cancer, sarcomas, hematological diseases using innovative technologies. Patients often go to oncology departments of hospitals in Israel and Turkey for bone marrow transplants, targeted and immunotherapy, and removal of malignant tumors.
• Neurosurgery and cardiac surgery. Abroad, modern neuronavigation systems are used for maximum precision in surgical interventions. In Italy, unique methods of minimally invasive cardiac surgery have been developed. Israeli clinics offer advanced methods for diagnosing and treating diseases of the nervous system, including the use of artificial intelligence to analyze medical data. The Republic of Korea excels in the field of neurosurgery, using 3D modeling to plan complex surgeries.
• Plastic surgery. The comfortable conditions of Turkish and Korean clinics attract people from different countries for plastic surgery. Rinoplasty, breast augmentation and many other plastic surgeries are in demand among Europeans.
• Orthopedics. The advantage of foreign clinics is the ability to perform low-traumatic operations. Such interventions are performed for scoliosis in children and adolescents, to replace hip and knee joints. It is also possible to perform high-precision operations using surgical robots. For example, at the LIV Hospital clinic in Istanbul, they perform robotic knee replacement MakoPlasty.
• Infertility treatment and childbirth. Married couples turn to reproductive medicine specialists to undergo the IVF procedure. Many Turkish, Israeli and European clinics offer favorable service packages. Maternity wards in Spain are very popular among foreigners, as giving birth in Spain helps the child obtain Spanish citizenship.

Foreign patients often turn to leading world specialists to review the diagnosis and get a second opinion on the treatment regimen. Experts Medical coordinators regularly organize online meetings with outstanding oncologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists for patients from Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

The cost of treatment abroad will vary depending on the pricing of the country, the level of the clinic, the equipment used, the chosen methods of therapy and other factors. Treatment abroad will be more expensive if the patient goes to oncology or cardiology centers in Germany, Spain, or Italy. For comparison, the same treatment in Turkish hospitals will be 30-40% cheaper that in Europe.

The final treatment price abroad in each specific case depends on individual aspects. First of all, the cost of treatment abroad is influenced by the stage of the disease, the complexity of the operation, and the duration and volume of therapy.

If we take into account the fact that innovative equipment like LINAC costs more than a million dollars, then a cancer therapy course on the Edge linear particle accelerator will cost around $10000 in Turkey.

Examples of what the cost of treatment abroad may include.

Treatment of a child abroad will vary in price depending on the chosen
countries and clinics. For example, the cost of consulting a specialist in different countries is approximately as follows: Turkey and India – from $100, Israel – from $700, Germany and Spain – from €400.

In German and Israeli clinics it is often requested to provide a deposit for the treatment of children, either for the full treatment amount or $50,000 in the case of oncology. In this situation, Turkey has advantages because payments can be made separately for each stage of treatment. Many parents of young patients raise funds for treatment during the treatment process in Turkey. The Experts Medical Fund also actively assists young patients in paying for treatment abroad.

Children’s hospitals abroad accept patients for treatment, as a rule, from perinatal age to 18 years. The main advantage of such medical centers is the presence of highly specialized specialists who perform complex operations even on the youngest children. For comfortable examinations and postoperative rehabilitation, all conditions have been created in such hospitals: psychologists and hospital clowns work with children and parents, and safe areas for games have been created. Usually, the price of treatment abroad includes all options that will make the family’s stay in the clinic as comfortable as possible. Friendly attitude and support at all stages are the priority of foreign children’s hospitals.

Parents of young patients most often visit the following medical centers:

• Children’s multidisciplinary clinic in Barcelona – Sant Joan de Déu. The hospital’s doctors specialize in complex surgical procedures. In Sant Joan de Déu, children receive bone marrow transplants, effective therapy for rare forms of cancer, and complicated surgical treatment.
• Pediatric care in a multidisciplinary clinic in Istanbul – Liv Hospital. The hospital is popular among patients of different age groups, but pediatric specialists deserve special attention. The medical center performs complex operations on the brain and spinal cord for children. Liv Hospital combines the strengths of advanced European and American medicine at the most affordable prices.
• Children’s hospital in Tel Aviv, based at the Sourasky-Dana medical  complex. Ichilov Clinic (Souraski) is one of the top – rated clinics in the world. Outstanding specialists with an average experience of 20-30 years work here. Neurosurgeons, oncologists and other highly specialized doctors provide assistance to children at various stages of the disease, including those cases when the patient’s condition at home countries was considered hopeless.

In terms of price-quality ratio, many foreign patients are in demand for another medical area – rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. Some Turkish and Greek centers are focused on accepting patients from other countries for the treatment of cerebral palsy.

According to The Medical Tourism Index, among the leaders in the provision of medical services are Israel, Germany, Spain, Turkey, South Korea and India. The following services are available in medical centers in these countries:

• consultations with highly qualified specialists;
• precise hardware diagnostics, specialized tests, next-generation sequencing;
• treatment with innovative drugs and experimental therapy;
• surgical techniques that allow organ resection or transplantation with high success rates;
• new equipment for radiation and proton therapy for tumors of various localizations – TrueBeam, Gamma-knife, Cyber-knife, TomoTherapy, Proton Therapy, MRIdian, Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and others;
• effective rehabilitation programs.

Popular destinations for treatment abroad are also Mexico, Singapore and the USA. However, according to the criteria of convenient geographical location and pricing, European, Turkish and Israeli clinics remain a priority for most patients. Therefore, the organization of treatment abroad most often takes place in these countries.

Turkey, India and South Korea have high quality medical services at reasonable prices. These countries have all the advanced technologies that are used in clinics in the USA and Europe. To choose a medical center based on your individual needs, leave a request on this page. The Experts Medical coordinator will provide you with a free consultation and help you choose the right clinic.

Turkey has tailored many services for patients arriving from other countries. These include translation services, transfers, prompt scheduling of appointments and surgeries, and room conditions like in a 5-star hotels. Significant improvements in the country’s medical sector have been achieved thanks to reforms begun in 2003. They have contributed to improving the efficiency of public and private hospitals, including through the introduction of new medical technologies and an increase in the number of qualified health workers. As a result of these changes, Turkey has achieved significant growth in its healthcare sector, making its medicine 20-30% more efficient compared to the former CIS countries.

In South Korea, patient treatment and quality of services are carefully monitored by special government agencies.

India is not only a country with a rich culture and history, but also a place where you can get qualified medical care. Two areas of particular interest are organ transplantation and Ayurveda. India is one of the leaders in the field of organ transplantation, especially kidney and liver transplantation. Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine that originates in India. There are many Ayurvedic centers in India which attract patients with their unique methods of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

India is actively developing its reputation as a destination with the best price-quality ratio.

Italy, Spain and Germany are countries with advanced medicine.

Treatment of diseases abroad is always based on the results of accurate examinations. It is important for doctors to know not only the general diagnosis, but also all the details about the condition of the patient’s body.

Examples of what types of research are carried out by foreign doctors:

1. Capsule endoscopy. A modern diagnostic method that provides valuable information about the condition of the small intestine, which is difficult to obtain using endoscopic examination methods such as colonoscopy. During the procedure, the patient swallows a small capsule equipped with a micro-video camera, which transmits an image to an external monitor and allows the doctor to examine the condition of the small intestine in detail. This is a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia and subsequent rehabilitation.
2. MRI 3 Tesla is a high-precision magnetic resonance imaging method that uses a magnetic field with a strength of 3 Tesla. This is twice as powerful as standard MRI machines, resulting in sharper, more detailed images. 3Tesla MRI does not use ionizing radiation, which makes it safe for patients.
3. Genetic testing. Genetic tests are used in medical fields such as oncology, ophthalmology, neurology, cardiology and reproductive medicine. One of the best laboratories in this field is CeGat in Germany. Patients can send their samples through the Experts Medical service to provide clear information to their doctor.
4. PET-CT. Positron emission tomography with computed tomography is a powerful diagnostic tool in oncology that allows you to scan the entire body in one image. This helps the doctor not to miss metastatic foci, which often happens when performing CT scans of several separate areas. One of the key advantages of  PET-CT is its ability to simultaneously assess the anatomical structure and metabolic activity of tissues. This allows doctors to not only see where the tumor is, but also understand how active it is, which is crucial for choosing the appropriate treatment.
5. Biopsy under ultrasound or MRI guidance. Biopsy plays a decisive role in making a cancer diagnosis. It is this method that allows one to distinguish normal tissues from malignant ones. The use of ultrasound or MRI allows the doctor to act as accurately as possible when taking a tissue sample from a pathological focus.

Organization of treatment abroad most often begins with the diagnostic process. The world’s leading hospitals use technologies that are not available in countries with a low level of medical development. Such technologies include liquid biopsy to detect cancer cells, imaging tests to monitor brain function, and much more.

Residents of countries with a high economic level are more informed about the need for regular examinations. Ministries of health in developed countries urge their citizens to early diagnosis and prevention of diseases. Therefore, for residents of England, Germany, and the USA, regular checks of their own health is a normal routine.

What programs are offered for accurate examination of the whole body?

In modern clinics in Turkey, both specialized and general check-up programs are available.

A specialized check-up can be focused on detecting oncology, pathologies of the nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and genitourinary systems. It can give answers about the causes of infertility. Children’s check-ups are also carried out in specialized departments of foreign clinics.

If a person does not have symptoms that would indicate pathology in a specific organ, then he can choose general health monitoring.

Organization of treatment abroad can begin with a check-up, according to the patient’s complaints and family history. On average, a complex of examinations takes from several hours to two days.

According to reviews from Experts Medical patients, the diagnose made in the home country isn’t confirmed after examination abroad for more than 30% of patient. About 50% of patients who underwent a planned check-up abroad has detected serious disease at early stage with much more higher recovery prognosis.

Organizing treatment abroad is a complex process that should be carried out by a team of people who well understand the specifics of treatment in foreign clinics.

During past 9 years, the Experts Medical team  has gathered extensive experience in the specifics and quality of treatment in foreign clinics, as well as how to make your treatment as comfortable and effective as possible.

Experts Medical offers options for providing financial assistance for the medical  treatment of children abroad. This applies to expensive therapy that is necessary for cancer diagnoses. Each case is considered individually by the Experts Medical charity foundation team. To clarify the information, leave a request on the website.

Experts Medical has 3 options available for collecting money for treatment for our patients:

Through the “Experts Medical” charity foundation. After receiving the proforma for treatment, the fund team opens a collection to partially or fully cover the amount of this treatment.

2. Through a German charitable foundation. We will help you prepare documents to arrange the treatment funding. If the issue is resolved positively, the German fund transfers the amount: up to $20,000 to the account of a clinic in Germany and up to $10,000 to another hospital in Europe.

The criteria for payment using the fund are as follows:

• patient age under 18 years;

If you have close friends or relatives abroad, you can probably organize your own travel to another country for medical purposes. However, this will require a lot of time and effort. In addition, the success of treatment abroad directly depends on the right choice of doctor and understanding of the medical aspects and treatment methods that will be used to treat your disease.

Treatment abroad is also associated with travel arrangements: booking appointments, examinations, interpreters, transfers, fixing the cost of treatment to avoid unpleasant surprises, purchasing tickets, obtaining a visa (if needed), booking a hotel near the clinic. And this is not a complete list of issues that you will have to solve on your own. Also there are a lot of issue that you may meet during treatment abroad that you may be not able to prevent due to lack of experience with foreign health system.

This is always important for a patient that treatment is organized with minimal stress and as quickly as possible, especially if it is a medical emergency.

Traveling to another country for the purpose of diagnosing and treating diseases, as well as carrying out
plastic surgery and dental interventions is called medical tourism. In essence, this is treatment abroad, since patients receive full medical care outside their country.

The main reason for patients leaving for treatment abroad remains the lack of medical opportunities at their place of residence. Therefore, when you consider a medical tourism it is important to check the following aspects:

• highly qualified and experienced specialists;
• new generation medical equipment;
• quality medicines;
• modern hospital service.

Traveling to another country sometimes becomes the only option to save a life. Early diagnosis allows you to avoid disability and provide effective treatment for the disease in children and adults. Modern and high-quality medicine in a number of countries, for example, in clinics in Turkey, is available to a fairly large number of patients.

At the same time, many people who seriously care about their health choose foreign medical centers for scheduled operations and medical procedures.
