Quality of Medical Services
Assuta hospitals in Israel have a special approach to the selection of specialists. There is no permanent staff of doctors here. Everybody works under the contract. This enables the management to attract the best specialists in various fields of medicine and thereby provide its patients with the highest level of diagnosis and treatment.
Within the Assuta network clinics in Israel, the Dialysis Institute, the Cardiology Center, the Tomography Center, the Pain Treatment Clinic, and the Sperm Bank operate. The institution has achieved the best results in such areas of medicine as:
- Assisted reproductive technologies and infertility treatment (IVF).

On the website of the Assuta clinic in Israel, information constantly appears on the introduction of the latest diagnostic methods and minimally invasive methods of operations. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the institution is expanding its ability to consult patients at home, organizing special delivery of patients from home with minimal risk of contact with other people.
Organization of Treatment
Prices in Assuta are about the same as other Israeli clinics, even though the institution is private. You can determine the approximate cost of treatment only during an online consultation with a network specialist. You can get such a consultation completely free of charge, leaving a preliminary application. Things will go faster if you can provide medical reports and/or the results of previous examinations.
Our experience and testimonials from Assuta patients in Israel show that getting help paying for treatment is not that difficult. To do this, there are a number of charitable foundations that can cover up to 80% of the cost of the clinic's services.

Clinic: Assuta Ashdod Hospital
Diagnosis: Lung cancer
My father was diagnosed with lung cancer, 6 month ago. It was already stage 3, and our doctors said that it was too late to do anything. But we decided that since they cannot cure us here, this does not mean that they will not help us abroad. We considered many options, both Germany and Austria, but decided to go to Israel. Still, medicine is somewhat cheaper there.
Father was treated in Assuta. The clinic is very good and the doctors are real professionals. Dad underwent a course of chemistry with radiation, then an operation was performed. In general, the father is already feeling well. We are very grateful to the doctors of the clinic.

Diagnosis: Kidney tumor
Thanks to the Assuta team for a well-organized stay and surgery in Israel. I had a nephrectomy. In my memories styed only the excruciating pain and fear of the upcoming serious operation. Everything went perfectly! Literally in a few days I got back on my feet! At the same time, I rested at the Dead Sea. Now I recommend all friends, neighbors and acquaintances to contact only Assuta and not waste precious time and health visiting Russian Aesculapians! Better to go to Israel right away and not be afraid of anything!

Diagnosis: Spinal cord tumor
Good day! I had a spinal cord tumor removed in Assuta in 2017, . The first weeks I could not walk. Then the left leg recovered completely, and the right one had to be developed (it was difficult to move the fingers). Now I am 29 years old, I have almost completely recovered thanks to the operation, the recommendations and constant advice of our curator from Assuta. I am constantly engaged in physiotherapy exercises, I wear special foot holders on my right leg, but this does not give me much discomfort. Thanks to the Assuta staff for their help and support after the operation!

Clinic: Assuta Ashdod Hospital
Diagnosis: Brain surgery
I live in Ukraine. The diagnosis is a brain tumor. Doctors in the center of neurosurgery recommended to undergo a surgery. I was against it and started looking for an alternative. I trusted the Israeli doctors at Assuta and was not mistaken. After Professor Zvi Ram carried out my diagnostics (on MRI and not only), he prescribed a non-invasive treatment. Thus, I avoided the surgery, which was terrible for me.
