Learn how to choose a clinic or hospital abroad :

• Preliminary considerations

You can do this by contacting us or obtain informations from any other source, such as the Internet, newsletters, brochures, or suggestion from your doctor. The more you know, the more prepared your trip will be.

• Relevant Hospital Accreditation

The patient can feel safe only when it is aware in advance that the relevant institution chosen by him is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI).

Another prove that can tell the quality and correctness of the hospital / clinic, when the relevant hospital/clinic is certified by the International Standards Organization (ISO), which accredits hospitals based on international quality about standards and procedures. In addition, it must be taken into account accreditation of hospitals or health clinics from relevant bodies for the accreditation and certification of their country.

However, you can also ask if they also offer accommodation packages, as part of their overall supply.
