Medical tourism in Israel

In the countries of the post-Soviet space, many are disillusioned with local medical facilities and the level of medical care.

Unfortunately, the equipment in many clinics is outdated, and treatment regimens are prescribed standard, approved many decades ago, and government funding does not even cover the necessary operating costs of clinics, and the conditions of hospital stay are very far from comfortable. And this applies not only to small regional hospitals, but also to fairly large metropolitan centers.

All these factors lead to the fact that patients are increasingly thinking about seeking medical help from doctors abroad. Moreover, we are talking not only about patients from Eastern European countries, but also about those countries in which the medical industry is sufficiently developed. And in the matter of choosing a place for treatment, one of the leading positions is occupied by Israeli clinics. Among the main institutions of the country is the First Medical Center in Tel Aviv named after I. Sourasky and Assuta Hospital, which is the largest private clinic with a developed network of branches.

Activities

Israel is rightfully considered a leader in the fight against cancer. Doctors do the impossible - they return to active life those who were considered terminally ill and who were abandoned in other clinics in the world. They apply in the practice of developing genetic engineering, modern achievements of scientific and technological progress. But not only in the field of oncology, Israeli doctors have achieved success.

• Cardiology. Modern methods of treating diseases of the cardiovascular system allow minimally invasive operations, after which patients continue to lead their usual lifestyle.
• Infertility treatment. Complex genetic and immunological tests are used for diagnosis, and in vitro fertilization can be performed in different ways, depending on the cause of the pathology, in order to ensure the maximum efficiency of the procedure.
• Orthopedics and Traumatology. Doctors understand how much orthopedic pathologies reduce the patient's quality of life. Therefore, special attention is paid to ensuring that interventions on the spine and joints are gentle but effective.
• Plastic surgery. Israeli specialists are interested not only in giving health to patients, but also in preserving beauty. An excellent aesthetic effect is provided by the operations of plastic surgeons.
• Nephrology. Israeli surgeons prefer minimally invasive interventions and adhere to the principles of organ-preserving therapy.
• Ophthalmology. For the treatment of eye diseases and preservation of vision, advanced scientific developments are used, which are similar to the ideas of science fiction films.

The list of departments of clinics and fields of activity of Israeli doctors can be continued for a very long time. One thing is important - if necessary, everything that specialists have in Israeli clinics will be used for your successful treatment.

International Department

To make quality treatment in Israel available to patients from all over the world, the country's leading clinics (for example, Assuta, Tel Aviv) organize international departments at their base. Their representatives help in solving absolutely all issues that a person who wants to be treated in an Israeli clinic may have:

• visa processing and ticket purchase;
• translation services;
• meeting at the airport and checking into a hotel, solving household issues;
• appointment of a consultation and examination time so that the patient does not have to wait in lines;
• select those specialists who are best able to diagnose and treat each case;
• conduct a medical audit of clinics' proposals;
• if the patient wishes, they organize a cultural program, excursions to diversify their leisure;
• the first time after discharge, the patient's health condition is monitored, even upon his arrival home.

The coordinators of the international department do everything possible to ensure that the patient is not distracted by anything from the treatment. Go to the official website of the clinic Assuta or Ichilov and leave a request. Representatives of the international department of the clinics will contact you and answer all your questions about medical tourism in Israel.

Benefits of treatment in Israel

• A developed pharmaceutical industry that ensures the use of safe drugs with a minimum of side effects.
• Highly qualified doctors who are leading specialists in the medical industry.
• A comprehensive diagnostic examination takes only 3-4 days.
• For each patient, a council of doctors develops an individual treatment regimen.
• State-of-the-art equipment makes it possible to perform operations in less traumatic ways.
• Prices are much lower than in America or Western Europe, with the same high quality medical care. There is no prepayment.
• The conditions in the wards do not at all resemble those in the hospital and are conducive to a comfortable rest and quick recovery after treatment.
• Favorable maritime climate.
• Possibility to combine spa holidays and treatment.
• Israeli clinics cooperate with insurance companies and charities around the world. This enables patients to partially or fully cover the cost of treatment.
• Israeli airlines offer discounts for those flying for medical treatment.

The state strictly controls the activities of medical institutions. For example, Assuta Hospital (Tel Aviv) is a member of the non-profit Israel Medical Tourism Association. This means that the services provided are of high quality and the foreign patient is protected at the legislative level.
