How do I start my treatment?

Share your medical reports along with your age, symptoms and history. Our team consults senior specialists and sends a treatment plan, estimated cost, expected outcome and duration of stay. If you decide to proceed, we issue an official invitation letter for your medical visa and coordinate pickup, appointments, hospital and accommodation.

Do you charge for your services?

No. Our assistance is completely free for patients, and using our services does not increase your hospital bill. Hospitals pay us a coordination fee out of their existing margin.

Do you assist with visa and travel?

Yes. We issue the e-medical visa invitation letter free of charge and guide your travel planning so the journey is straightforward.

Can I bring a family member?

Yes. One attendant bed is included in the estimate, and up to two attendants can apply for linked medical attendant visas.

How can I make the payment?

Pay by card or in US dollars after arriving, or transfer directly to the hospital's official account before travel. Payment always goes to the hospital, never to us.

What happens after I return home?

We stay in touch for follow-ups. Your treating doctor remains available for online consultations during recovery, at no charge.
