Where to go for treatment during a pandemic?
Where can I go for treatment from Russia and the CIS countries now?
The pandemic has made adjustments to the lives of almost everyone, businesses, and even the entire industry or country. The organization of treatment abroad was no exception. With the closure of borders, many of our patients undergoing treatment abroad were forced to somehow change their plans and adapt to new conditions. All this time we have been with you, we have not stopped our work for a single day, we have "accommodated" our patients in clinics at home so that they can receive their prescribed treatment on time, we have helped to continue treatment and even raise money for those who were forced to stay abroad, we have organized the delivery of medicines for our patients without which their well-being would be bad. We helped many people, but we couldn't help even more people because our offer of alternative destinations was limited.
But now we are glad to inform you that we can once again give hope to many of you and offer high-quality treatment abroad, and Turkey has become the first country that is ready to accept patients!
