General information, not an individual diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Decisions require review by a licensed clinician.
What to know
Ask the hospital for an itemized written estimate, including tests, clinician fees, accommodation, medicines and follow-up. Confirm deposit and refund rules and accepted payment methods directly. Bank cards, mobile payments and cash may be available, but acceptance and limits vary. Check whether your insurance covers planned care abroad, complications and evacuation; ordinary travel insurance may exclude these.
Before you travel
Prepare a concise medical summary, recent reports, imaging in its original format, and a current medication and allergy list. Ask the receiving team which translations are needed.
Questions to ask your care team
Ask about expected benefits, risks, alternatives, the option of no treatment, follow-up and care after returning home. Do not interrupt current treatment while exploring overseas options.
