Medicine in Germany is rightly considered one of the best in the world..And not only because in this country are concentrated dozens of the largest modern medical centers and institutes in which highly qualified doctors work .Clinics in Germany - is primarily a full-fledged examination and treatment of each patient .Regardless of the disease, a full diagnosis of the patient is carried out in German medical institutions, after which an accurate diagnosis is made and an adequate treatment is prescribed .Let's notice, that clinics of Germany for good reason call one of the most modern and hi-tech not only in Europe, but also in the world .Here it is not accepted to save on equipment: medical equipment in German medical institutions is updated without exaggeration every few years .
Methods of treatment also do not stand still, and thanks to scientific institutions working in many German clinics, they are being improved and then successfully applied in medical practice. Another advantage of German medicine is the so-called multi-profile. Large medical institutions often include a few dozen (!) Polyclinics, in each of which patients are accompanied by diseases full-fledged doctors.
Clinics in Germany specialize in the treatment of many diseases, be it cardiology, gynecology or oncology. Here are the most famous multi-disciplinary clinics in Germany. This is the University Medical Center, University Hospital Bonn, Medical Center of the University of Dusseldorf, University Clinic Münster and Essen. In addition to outpatient examination and in-patient treatment, German medical centers conduct operations of any complexity, further providing patients with the necessary rehabilitation.
What makes the German clinics different from the domestic ones is the consistently high level of service and provided services .It does not take a week to wait for the results of the tests or, say, a month to take turns on MRI, as, alas, often happens in our hospitals .After inviting the patient to a German medical center (see the procedure for registering in German clinics, see below), a whole team of doctors is taken for him, who promptly conducts a survey, prescribes treatment, and, if necessary, makes a decision about surgery .Separately it is necessary to tell about chambers in German establishments where patients are located .Here you will not see a room with 15 bunks with huddling patients on them .
With food in the clinics of Germany, too, everything is in order. Food for patients is prepared not in public catering, but directly at medical centers with all the requirements. Patients can choose the menu themselves or, if necessary, follow the diet prescribed by the treating doctor.
The issue price is
Treatment in clinics in Germany is not cheap, but not the most expensive, if you compare, for example, with medical institutions in Switzerland or the UK. We also note that German centers do not charge prices for their services from the ceiling, but are strictly imposed in accordance with the tariffs for medical assistance established in the country. In other words, German clinics are not interested in "untwisting" patients for money and impose unnecessary services.
Another important point: German medical institutions accept patients only after 100% payment of the invoice. If, at the end of the treatment, it turns out that the help was provided for a smaller amount, the difference is naturally compensated. And, on the contrary, in case of additional treatment, an additional charge may be required. Here are the approximate prices for some services in German clinics:
Accommodation in a single room - another plus from 180 EUR per day. Surgical treatment costs more. For example, the price for the replacement of the knee joint starts somewhere from 12,000 EUR. Heart operations cost an average of 20,000 EUR, and surgeons' support for oncological diseases starts from 30000 EUR.
How to get to the German clinics
Independently organize treatment in German clinics, even if you own German, yet it is not worth $$ .This can be entrusted to the representative offices of medical centers, which are now open in many countries, including in Russia .Wherever you apply, you will need a completed questionnaire with the indication of the disease and the last medical report is .Further your documents go to the German clinics, and then an invitation with an exact date of your arrival is received .If the patient needs emergency help, the entire procedure is carried out as soon as possible .
When contacting a representative office, be sure to specify which services they will render to you under the agreement (starting from buying air tickets and ending with issuing a visa and providing an assistant - that is, a specialist who will accompany you throughout the treatment in German clinics). And, of course, ask to detail the price. Be healthy!
