Every year, more than 50 million people travel abroad for a medical procedure, and many of them do so for the first time. We have prepared this article to reassure you that treatment in another country is far less daunting than it may seem at first glance. There are many options beyond Germany or Israel. You will learn what patients new to medical travel often don’t know, and how to organise your trip to a clinic abroad so that you receive the best quality at a fair price.

5 advantages of treatment abroad

  1. Innovative treatments. Research centres abroad develop the latest techniques and medicines, so their patients are among the first to gain access to innovative technologies.
  2. High quality standards. Many clinics abroad are accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI), which confirms the high quality of their medical services.
  3. Treatment abroad can cost less than in your home country. This applies especially to procedures that are only beginning to be introduced in the CIS countries; their prices at a clinic abroad will be considerably lower. The same is true of medicines that are not yet registered at home, since it is safer and cheaper to buy them officially abroad.
  4. Quality of medical procedures. Clinics abroad, for example, deliver radiotherapy on the most modern equipment, allowing irradiation to be carried out quickly and safely. A session lasts only 10–15 minutes, and the procedure is accurate to within 0.5 mm, so side effects are minimal. By comparison, the margin of error of radiotherapy on the older equipment used in the CIS is several centimetres, and a session lasts 30–60 minutes.
  5. Qualified doctors. Most medical specialists have more than 15 years of experience. They regularly train at the best hospitals and universities in the USA and Europe. Doctors abroad are members of international medical associations: the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), the American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO).
