Preparation from Home
A video consultation includes assessment of height, weight, comorbidities, medication list, and prior surgical history. Existing test results and endoscopy reports are useful for preliminary evaluation.
The Programme Abroad
Hospital stay, preparation and travel planning depend on the type of procedure, the protocol of the treating healthcare institution and individual clinical assessment. This information site does not state fixed durations and does not organise accommodation or transport; these are arranged with the treating healthcare institution.
After Returning Home
Regular follow-up examinations are planned. Controls at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and annual reviews are recommended. The team helps establish contact with a local dietitian and physician for laboratory monitoring.
Important Caution
Medical tourism should prioritise patient safety and continuity of care. Promises made without full medical evaluation, driven only by low price, are not safe.
