Spain is one of the centers of medical tourism in Europe. Annually more than 200 thousand Englishmen, Germans, Dutchmen, etc. come to treatment and examination. The tactics of Spanish doctors differ from Russian ones: they eliminate not only the visible physical results of the disease, but also find and eliminate its cause. An integrated approach avoids further malfunctioning of the body. The rehabilitation period also passes in solar Spain more easily than in other European countries.
Choosing a hospital
The recognized center of modern medicine in Spain is Barcelona. Followed by Madrid and Valencia. Prices for most medical services are almost the same as in most European countries, so Europeans go to Barcelona primarily for their reputation. So, there is the world-famous clinic Barraquer, in which the best doctors spend the largest number of corneal transplants in the world. Or Instituto Marques - clinic with the best results of IVF in Europe.
Some of the best places in the world for the treatment of oncology of all types are offered by the Teknon Oncology Institute and the IMOR Center in Barcelona, as well as the IVO Institute in Valencia, which are among the first in the world to introduce innovative methods for the diagnosis and treatment of oncology.
Also in Barcelona is the Catalan Ophthalmologic Institute, which earned its fame with the presence of 12 departments dedicated to the most popular and the most rare, eye diseases.
In view of the realities of the Russian system of neurorehabilitation, most of our compatriots choose overseas rehabilitation centers. The Guttman Institute has been in great demand among patients with spinal cord injuries since 1965 and during this time managed to become one of the leading centers in its field.
