A pioneer in the treatment of lymphedema, created a specialized office. Cleanliness, polite and prompt service of the staff. I lowered down the mark, because it is a bit more expensive, but who has the best opportunity to go to IKEA, I recommend it!

Diagnosis: childbirth, caesarean section
For all expectant mothers who are thinking about which clinic to choose for childbirth, choose Interbalkan. The medical staff is accommodating. Doctors are excellent and highly qualified, and they will cope with complex cases. The neonatologists are great too.
At first, everything was fine with us, but then suddenly the umbilical cord prolapsed. Bravo to the head midwife, Tony, who helped and held the baby, and after 2 minutes we were already in the operating room for an emergency cesarean section. Doctors and medical staff were waiting for us there, and they immediately took action.
My doctor, Dr. Pantelis, literally saved me and the baby by taking him out immediately. After that, neonatologist Lalopulu took over the job with the anesthesiologist Mr. Tasiana, returned the child, and performed oxygen intubation. And thanks to them all, we are both doing well.
Food, cleanliness, staff.
Everything is perfect.

Diagnosis: bronchopneumonia
My daughter was in this hospital for 4 days with bronchopneumonia. In general, I was satisfied with the conditions of the stay. I stayed with my daughter and we were placed in a double room. Very clean and comfortable. Nothing to do with the boxes in the children’s section, which are more like cages. The prices in this clinic are reasonable compared to other private clinics.

Diagnosis: childbirth
I gave birth to my child in Interbalkan with a wonderful doctor Mr. Drizis Evangelos and an equally wonderful head of department.
The neonatologists are also very cool and give you advice. As a new mother, they helped me a lot!
The nurses are kind and always there when you need them. The facilities in the maternity hospital are spotlessly clean, and the meals are delicious and hearty as if you were eating in a hotel.
Their maternity ward is AWESOME!
My birth was a wonderful experience from every point of view.
5 stars for the maternity ward are not enough.

Diagnosis: childbirth
I was very satisfied with the attention and results of the treatment.
The hospital is big. This has both positive and negative points. Due to the number of people, sometimes the hospital resembled a shopping mall. This added a bit of chaos both to the logistics of finding the right department or office and to the general atmosphere. Doctors and staff are most friendly and helpful.

Diagnosis: check-up
Today I visited the Interbalkan clinic for a scheduled check-up and confirmed my opinion about the clinic staff, which I made two years ago at the last check-up.
I am referring to Ms. Lina, who works in the diagnostics department. She is a nice and very warm person, which is very important for workers in such places.
Vaso was also very helpful at the reception, answering all my questions and directing me to the right specialists.
For my next scheduled inspection, I will come only to you!

What are the benefits of cancer treatment at the Interbalkan European Medical Center?
The Cancer Center of the Interbalkan Clinic is a leading medical institution that uses immunotherapy to treat cancer. Clinical trials of 30 new immunotherapeutic drugs are underway in a special department headed by professor-oncologist Sofya Baka. The introduction of the latest medications into clinical practice began in 2016 in the treatment of patients with lung cancer. Currently, patients, including foreign ones, within the framework of clinical trials have free access to new immunotherapy options for the following types of cancer:
- breast,
- kidneys;
- bladder;
- pancreas;
- ovaries;
- melanoma.
This treatment option is given to patients not responding to first-line and second-line immunotherapies.
What unique specialists work at the Interbalkan European Medical Center?
The Interbalkan clinic employs a unique world-class specialist, interventional oncologist Dedes Ioannis. He is fluent in minimally invasive innovative cancer treatments. He treats patients with inoperable tumours who do not respond or have contraindications to other therapies. Patients come to him for treatment with the following diagnoses:
- cancer of the liver (hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma) and biliary tract;
- malignant tumour of the kidneys;
- lung cancer with hemoptysis;
- liver metastases from lung, breast, abdominal, kidney, ovarian, and many other cancers.
Dr Ioannis performs transarterial embolization using vascular catheterization – blockage of a vessel that feeds a cancerous tumour using various materials. A chemotherapy drug may be injected into the tumour first.
The oncologist performs the following intra-arterial embolizations:
- classical chemoembolization (cTACHE) with the introduction of a chemotherapy drug and the use of microspheres;
- drug-eluting microsphere chemoembolization (DEB-TACE);
- chemoembolization with biodegradable microspheres (DSM-TACE);
- radioembolization with microspheres with the radioisotope Y-90 (TAPE).
In addition to embolization, the doctor performs another treatment procedure – regional intra-arterial chemotherapy with the latest generation of drugs. Dedes Ioannis helps in cases where surgical treatment is not possible and the tumour is larger than 3.5 cm in diameter, which makes it unsuitable for ablation (destruction using radio frequency or other effects). Such procedures are also used to reduce the tumour before surgery if prescribed by the oncological council.
More than 2,000 patients with inoperable liver tumours have been successfully treated in the specialized department where Dr Ioannis works. According to the Interbalkan clinic, the life expectancy of patients after the treatment is more than 10 years with a good quality of life.
