IMPORTANT TIPS FOR THOSE WHO ARE PLANNING TREATMENT ABROAD

HOW TO CHOOSE A CLINIC?

Choosing a clinic is better not only on reviews on the Internet, but also taking into account the recommendations of specialists who can guide about the treatment options and specialties in modern medicine. As a rule, patients do not always choose the right hospital on their own.   The chosen hospital should have all the necessary medical diagnostic equipment, as well as qualified doctors to treat a disease. The clinic must have international certificates of quality and safety of providing medical services. Pay attention to the certificates of JCI, TUV, ISO, as well as national quality certificates.   In some situations, preference can be given to the choice of a narrowly specialized clinic in comparison to a multispecialty hospital, example can be ophthalmology or orthopedics. It is also very important to choose a doctors, because the success of treatment largely depends on his qualifications, and already the necessary technology is available in 90% of international clinics.
 

HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DOCTOR IN A FOREIGN CLINIC?

To begin with, we recommend that you check the doctor’s appointment schedule on the desired arrival dates. For an appointment with a doctor, an international passport is required (the standard situation for patient identification). In the process, you will also need to provide a valid air ticket in the name of the patient (as confirmation of the visit to the country). Appointment with some top doctors can be carried out on the basis of a prepayment (more relates to the countries of the European Union).
 

IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE A PRELIMINARY TREATMENT PROGRAM?


To receive the preliminary program not only it is possible, but also it is necessary. So you can have a fully-written information sheet before your eyes that will include all the necessary information about the upcoming examination and / or treatment, the length of stay in the country, the price policy, the nearest hotels and the treating doctor.   The program can be obtained by remote provision of medical documents, reports, pictures and patient’s passport for preliminary consideration of specialized doctors. Documents must be properly prepared. Please note that all programs are preliminary and are compiled according to the data provided by the patient. In addition, patient always need to properly plan the timing of the visit and receive a preliminary medical program, because even it has its own timeline of relevance.   Clinics very often respond slowly to treatment of patients or do not respond to them at all.

 

DO WE NEED THE SERVICES OF SPECIALIZED COMPANIES IN MEDICAL TOURISM?

If you want to make an appointment with a top doctor in the shortest possible time, get into a major university hospital, get a prompt response from the clinic or get medical help urgently, you will probably need the services of specialized companies.   Today, large licensed companies provide a lot of services to patients, which greatly simplifies all the stages of preparation for a medical trip abroad. So, for starters, you can get advice by phone about medical centers and compare them. Large companies are usually more independent than small companies, and are interested in providing quality information to the patient.   Timing and efficiency are important to patients, and the international departments of hospitals, as a rule, do not hurry to give an answer, and even completely ignore the treatment of patients. Every day hospitals receive hundreds of cases, which are left unattended due to the poor work of the department. Again, the advantage will be on the side of a specialized company, since its employees located directly in the hospital will be able to speed up the processing of the treatment and control the forwarding of documents to the right doctor.   Such specialized company will also take care of all the issues related to the planning of the trip. You will be helped to choose a flight, book suitable accommodation, organize a transfer and an interpreter. Besides, being in a foreign country, one way or another there are a lot of questions that require constant coordination: the company will also take care of this.

  •   In some popular countries, without the participation of such a company and not at all. This is especially true when the question is about the possibility of receiving medical care in a large university clinic, where the patient can get himself into trouble quite often if going by himself.
