What is medical tourism
Medical tour — This is not a pleasant trip to the sanatorium, where in a relaxed mode you can walk on physiotherapy, lie in the sun and drink fresh fruit mineral water. Medical tour — A trip for serious treatment, which most often includes an operation.
The system of medical tourism includes all types of treatment available to modern medicine: from dentistry to oncology.
Where to apply for a medical tour
Normal travel agencies, of course, will not offer you a package, including the knife of the best surgeon, the famous clinic. For a medical tour you need to go to a special tour operator. In the company that is engaged in the Medsturov organization, you will be offered absolutely all information and service support, including assistance in the design of visas and documents, buying tickets, booking housing, providing translator services, etc.
Where to begin
First you need to accurately determine the need for a medical tour. Residents of many CIS countries as a place of treatment are increasingly choosing Moscow private clinics. It is worth find out if anyone else in Russia needs treatment you need, how much will it cost and will not be cheaper than abroad.
However, the reality is that for Russians a trip abroad for treatment in the overwhelming majority costs cheaper than in the homeland. Even considering flight prices, accommodation and meals.
Another reason for the popularity of medical tourism — long waiting for the necessary treatment. Instead of a few months to stand in line at home, patients prefer to buy a medical tour and improve health as soon as possible.
Most popular directions from Russian patients — Israel, Germany, Switzerland, France and some other European countries.
Whom to take with you
Few, buying a medical tour, expects to spend a few days (or weeks) in the overseas clinic alone. Reach after surgery and undergo rehabilitation is much more pleasant in the company of a loved one. And before the operation, while the necessary preparatory research is held, you can take a walk on a new city or soaked in the resort beach.
As practice shows, leaving for treatment abroad, accompanied by a native person, helps to endure all the tests and feel more confident and calmer.
How to choose a country for treatment
Coming to the office of the medical tour operator, you will tell the manager that you need and what means you have. The specialist will pick up the country and the clinic that specialize in your disease will help determine the list of additional services. You will immediately learn about the approximate cost of travel. It should be understood that the final cost will be clear only upon arrival in the clinic. It may turn out to be both higher and lower than the preliminary: it depends on the confirmation of the diagnosis and auxiliary procedure complex.
It is worthwing to know that not only Europe and the Middle East offer a large number of clinics of the International Standard. In Singapore, Thailand, Japan, India in recent years is going more and more medical tourists. They combine medical care of the highest class and exotic rest. And treatment in these countries is really not inferior to the European.
What you need to take care
If you are sent to treatment, you must have extracts from the history of the disease and all the results of the surveys. Also, you need to decide in advance: whether you are going to receive a certain treatment or beat the diagnosis of foreign specialists, the results of which may not coincide with the diagnoses set in the homeland.
Of course medical tourism — This is not just a weekly trip to the sea, and the costs of it will be completely different. However, if the question is not just in the treatment of caries, and on the scales your health or life, a trip for treatment abroad may be the only opportunity to regain the joy and confidence in the existence of tomorrow.
