We arrange
treatment abroad

Treatment abroad is as popular as tourism for the purpose of recreation and entertainment. The key difference is that people travel to another country for the following purposes: diagnostics and treatment of diseases, plastic surgeries, dental services at a reasonable cost. In this way, patients receive full medical care outside their own country.

The main reason for patients to overseas medical treatment remains the lack of medical opportunities at their place of residence. Therefore, people choose for diagnosis, therapy and surgery those states where there are:

• the best specialists;
• new generation equipment;
• quality medicines;
• modern hospital services.

In an emergency situation, abroad treatment becomes the only option to save life. Early diagnosis makes it possible to avoid serious complications and conduct effective treatment of the disease in a child and an adult. Modern and high-quality medicine in a number of countries, for example, in clinics in Turkey, is available to quite a large number of patients. 

Often people who are seriously concerned about their health, even for standard operations and treatment procedures choose foreign specialists. Many patients prefer to improve their appearance abroad.

Modern methods of examination, therapy and surgery allow patients to solve many health problems. Overseas medical treatment most often covers the following areas:

• Oncology. Treatment of cancer of the breast and other organs, sarcomas, hematologic diseases with the help of innovative technologies. Patients often turn to oncology departments of hospitals in Israel and Turkey for bone marrow transplantation, targeting and immunotherapy, removal of malignant tumors.
• Neurosurgery and cardiac surgery. Germany uses robotic systems for maximum precision of surgical interventions. Italy has developed unique methods of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Israeli clinics offer advanced methods of diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the nervous system, including the use of artificial intelligence to analyze medical data. The Republic of Korea stands out in the field of neurosurgery, using 3D modeling to plan complex surgeries. 
• Bone and internal organ surgery. The advantages of foreign clinics are the ability to perform minimally traumatic surgeries. Such interventions are performed for scoliosis in children and adolescents, for hip and knee joint replacement. Da Vinci robot is suitable for treatment of a number of pathologies related to internal organs.
• Infertility treatment and childbirth. Couples turn to specialists in reproductive medicine to undergo IVF procedures. Many Turkish, Israeli and European clinics offer favorable packages of services. For example, due to the high level of service and safety, maternity wards in Spain are very popular among foreigners.
• Plastic surgery. Comfortable conditions of Turkish and Korean clinics attract people from different countries for aesthetic medical procedures abroad for face and body correction. Hair transplantation, breast augmentation and many other plastic surgeries are in demand among Europeans.

Patients often turn to the world’s leading specialists to revise their diagnosis and get a second opinion on their therapy regimen. Experts Medical coordinators regularly organize online meetings with prominent oncologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists for patients from Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Treatment overseas can actually begin with remote consultations.

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

• consultations of narrow specialists with a high level of qualification;
• precise hardware diagnostics, specific tests, new generation sequencing;
• treatment with innovative drugs and experimental therapies;
• surgical techniques that allow resection or transplantation of organs with high success rates;
• new equipment for radiation and proton therapy for tumors of various localizations;
• modern rehabilitation programs, which will be the best option for health treatment abroad.

Mexico, Singapore and the USA are also among the popular destinations. However, according to the criteria of convenience of geographical location and pricing, European, Turkish and Israeli clinics remain a priority for most patients. Therefore, these are the most frequent destinations for going abroad for medical treatment.

The cost of medical treatment abroad will vary, depending on the pricing of the country, the level of the clinic, the equipment used, the method of therapy and other factors. Overseas medical treatment in terms of price will be higher if the patient applies to oncology or cardiology centers in Germany, Spain, Italy. For comparison, in these same areas, service in Turkish hospitals will be 30-40% cheaper.

The final price of diagnostics and treatment overseas in each specific case depends on the individual indicators of patients. First of all, the cost of medical procedures abroad is influenced by the stage of the disease, complexity of surgery, duration and volume of therapy. 

If we take into account the fact that innovative equipment such as LINAC costs more than a million dollars, the course of cancer therapy, for example, on the linear gas pedal Edge will be over $1000.

Examples of what the cost of abroad treatment may include. 

Consultation with a neurosurgeon:

• In Germany – from €600;
• in Turkey – from $300.

Brain tumor surgery:

• Israel – about $30,000;
• Republic of Korea – about $20000;
• Turkey – from $5000.

When it is necessary to carry out immunotherapy for cancer, it is worth knowing that the prices in Turkey, Israel and other countries will be about the same. However, such medical treatment abroad can cost an average of $60,000.

To find out the exact cost of individual medical procedures abroad, leave a request on this site to the coordinating doctor.

Your overseas medical treatment organization should definitely include 3 basic, but not the only, steps:

1. Researching abroad treatment options in detail and obtaining remote doctor’s consultation. It is essential to choose a clinic and a doctor specializing in your condition. Do not hesitate to consult online to see if such medical procedures abroad are suitable for you. This will help you form realistic expectations and understand if you should go there.
2. Financial preparation and logistics. Consider all expenses, not only for the medical treatment abroad, but also for accommodation, food, and transportation. Compare prices and quality of services in different countries. Think about how you will communicate with the medical staff: you may need an interpreter. What services will be covered by the offer you will receive from the hospital. 
3. Gathering medical records. Before you leave, make sure you have all the necessary reports, medical history, examination results. This will allow you to start overseas medical treatment more quickly. It may be beneficial for you to take some tests in your home country, which will be covered by insurance.

Every traveler should be aware of the need to apply for a visa to enter another country. Some issues for organizing health treatment abroad can be solved with the help of the consulate.

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, organizing abroad treatment involves understanding the technology that will be used to correct your medical condition.

Medical treatment abroad for serious diseases is closely related to the organization of departure: purchasing tickets, paperwork, booking a place in a hotel near the clinic and transfer from the airport. And this is not a complete list of issues that will have to be solved independently, sometimes directly during the trip. And for an unhealthy person, it is important that everything is taken into account in advance without stressful situations, especially if it is a medical emergency. 

Even a routine visit to a foreign clinic requires some knowledge and experience from travelers. Not all people have the same level of medical knowledge. Therefore, for aesthetics or surgical overseas medical treatment, it is better to consult an independent expert beforehand.

Professional organization of medical treatment abroad is a complex activity that involves many aspects of medicine and tourism. A company you can trust with your health is an informed organizer of trips with medical purposes. Physician-coordinators must demonstrate a high level of expertise, know a lot about treatment in the clinics with which they cooperate. Certified consultants with advanced medical degrees will be able to provide a second opinion and guide you.

It is desirable that the company (medical tourism operator) has several years of experience. This allows you to accumulate a base of qualified doctors and get real feedback from patients. On the website of such a company you will be able to find key information about treatment of your disease in foreign clinics and other useful data.

Please note that every stage of interaction between a medical company and a patient must be legal. This includes respecting confidentiality and providing only accurate information. In addition, your consultant should be familiar with the procedures and peculiarities of health care in the country where he or she may refer the client. Even if the coordinating physician is not a resident of the country where foreign patients are treated, he or she needs to know everything about the specifics of medical care there.
