Stages of arranging treatment in Germany

 

Usually, the process of organizing treatment in Germany is separated into several stages. Here's what you need to do if you want to travel abroad for a course of therapy:

  • Choose a hospital. You are required to choose a medical facility where you can get quality treatment. For many patients, the price of the diagnostic and therapeutic services is an important factor. You can use the free BookingHealth service to select the best hospital that meets all your needs (quality of medical services, prices, and geographical location).
  • Reference to the hospital means you will need to talk to the head doctor or his secretary. It is necessary to agree on all the details of treatment and your stay at the hospital. Then, you need to receive their invitation and thereafter, you will be able to apply for a visa.  
  • Collection of documents. You need to collect all the necessary documents for your trip to Germany in order to undergo treatment. In addition to visas and passports, you cannot forget about your medical records. You can take the data from diagnostic studies that have already taken place with you, i.e. all your previous medical history. All of your medical documentation must be translated into German.
  • Translation/Interpretation. You will have to find a person who will interpret all the information orally and in its written form. It’s hard to find an interpreter who does written contracts, as this person must stay with you when you go to the hospital.
  • Flight. A patient must be present at the hospital on the day appointed, which means the tickets have to be booked in advance. Once in Germany, you will have to find a transfer from the airport to the hospital where you will be getting treatment. Sometimes, it’s also necessary to book a hotel if treatment is on an outpatient basis or if you have somebody accompanying you.

Which hospital to choose

 

There are a huge number of hospitals in Germany with a wide profile and also medical centers with specific specializations. The choice of a medical institution depends on the diagnosis of the patient or his complaints. Some clinics specialize in surgical interventions, others treat children, some can offer rehabilitation, certain clinics are engaged in reproductive medicine, and so on.

Here are a few clinics that are very popular among both Germans and foreign patients:

  • Halle University Hospital includes a number of specialized institutes and departments. Here, they have the most innovative methods of treatment for various diseases. More than 150,000 patients are treated in this hospital each year. In recent years, the hospital has significantly expanded, through the construction of new buildings. It continues to expand to accommodate all the patients that are in need of quality medical care.
