International Platform
TREATMENT IN ISRAEL
Over 44,000 medical tourists yearly come to Israel seeking treatment. Most foreign patients come from Eastern Europe, Cyprus, and the USA.
Today Israel has a reputation as the world leader in medicine. This is the homeland of many world-renowned doctors. Foreign specialists consider it an honour to work in Israeli clinics. After all, medical centres there can offer the largest concentration of modern equipment; access to research platforms developing and implementing medical innovations, and resources needed to provide the most effective medical help. Many of the world’s healthcare innovations are developed in Israel and are accessible to their patients before the approval of the EU or the FDA.
Israel's medical standards are exemplary, and compliance with them is monitored by the Ministry of Health. The same Ministry regulates the certification of doctors and other health professionals. A specialist who acted carelessly during the treatment or intentionally neglected their patient can be charged with malpractice.
- The main reasons why patients travel to Israel for treatment are:
- access to methods unavailable in their home country;
- to have a second opinion on their diagnosis;
- to be sure that they are being treated in accordance with international standards.
Israel has a high reputation among cancer patients, and those seeking neurosurgery or cardiac surgery. Besides, many famous orthopedists, reproductive medicine specialists and plastic surgeons work there.
An important advantage for international patients is that most doctors know English and Russian. The treatment process in Israel is even more convenient due to direct flights from Europe and America.
DIAGNOSTICS IN ISRAELI MEDICAL CENTERS
Israel is among the countries with the highest diagnostic accuracy rate in the world. The qualification of the doctors, equipment, and examination methods help achieve 99% accuracy.
The specialists use both traditional (MRI, CT, PAT-CT, ultrasound, X-ray, biopsy, endoscopy, etc.) and advanced diagnostic methods.
Israeli doctors introduced and used the video capsule endoscopy method for the first time. The developing countries only start using spiroergometry (lung examination), but in Israel, it has been used for a long time.
The cost of diagnostics in Israeli medical centres depends on the pricing policy of the hospital and the type of test. The approximate prices:
| Procedure | Cost |
| Oncologist consultation | $650 |
| Urologist consultation | $650 |
| Neurologist consultation | $650 |
| Radiologist consultation | $580 |
| Surgeon consultation | $750 |
| Gastroscopy | $800 |
| Biopsy | from $1,500 |
| MRI | $1,100 |
| PET-CT | $1,400 |
| Gallium-68 PET | from $4,000 |
| CT | $1,000 |
| Ultrasound | $400 |
| Lab tests | $450 |
ONCOLOGY TREATMENT IN ISRAEL
Israel remains the undisputed leader in cancer treatment. People from all over the world travel there looking for breakthroughs in diagnostics and treatment; hearing an expert opinion of the leading oncologists, and the highest-rate care.
Multidisciplinary medical boards provide evidence-based cancer treatment. Specialists carry out all procedures in accordance with international standards.
Hospitals pursue their own research, which gives them a big advantage. Those breakthroughs become accessible to patients earlier than in the rest of the world. For many, such innovative therapy is their only chance to survive.
Israeli clinics cooperate with the leading medical facilities, such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and others. Cancer Clinics in Israel offer such cancer treatment methods:
- radiotherapy and radiosurgery (Truebeam STx, RapidArc, etc.);
- brachytherapy (insertion of radioactive material into the tumour);
- chemotherapy;
- immunotherapy and targeted drug therapy (Keytruda, Xofigo, Imbruvica, etc.);
- organ-preserving and robotic surgery (minimally invasive operations);
- bone marrow and stem cell transplantation.
In addition to multidisciplinary medical centres (Assuta, Rambam, Herzliya. etc.), Israel offers specialized clinics. Assuta Melanoma Unit Centre stands out among others for their achievements in treating all types of skin cancer.
TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN ISRAEL
Most sick children come to Israel for treatment of cancer, hematologic malignancies, and cardiac diseases. This is because many countries cannot provide the complex medical care the younger patients need.
Almost every multidisciplinary institution in the country has a paediatrics department. Moreover, there are specialized children's clinics that belong to well-known networks.
For example, the Ichilov Clinic (Souraski) houses the Dana Dwek Children's Hospital. The Sheba Clinic includes the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital. The Ruth Rappaport Children's Hospital belongs to the Rambam centre. The best children's doctors in Israel are:
- Dr. Jacob Zauberman - pediatric neurosurgeon and neuro-oncologist (Sheba);
- Prof. Boynover Yoram - pediatric gastroenterologist (Sheba);
- Dr. Amos Etzioni - famous pediatric immunologist (Rambam, Ruth Rappaport);
- Prof. Shimon Wraith - general paediatrician and pediatric gastroenterologist (Hadassah).
TREATMENT IN ISRAEL: WITH OR WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES?
Patients travel to Israel through intermediary medical tourism agencies. There are good reasons for that.
Many clinics are not directly accessible to foreigners. Due to the large flow of overseas patients, medical institutions are unable to cope with all organizational aspects: visa application, ticket booking, initial communication with the patient. Instead, agencies take over all the organizational matters, and hospitals focus on what they do best - cure people.
In Israel, it is impossible to get access to healthcare without intermediaries. We strongly advise AGAINST believing organizations that claim to be clinics or their international departments.
Medical tourism agencies sign contracts with the hospitals and help the patient get treated. MediGlobus is an official partner of Israel's leading medical facilities. To book an appointment at a hospital in Israel, leave a request on our website.
LEADING HOSPITALS OF ISRAEL
Treatment in Israeli hospitals is conducted in accordance with international standards. This is confirmed by the fact that 30 clinics have received the most reputable JCI accreditation. Foreign patients can undergo treatment in private and state hospitals. The full list of medical centres and reviews of Israeli clinics is available on our website. The best multidisciplinary hospitals of Israel are:
- The Assuta Clinic;
- Ichilov Medical Center (Sourasky);
- Rambam Hospital;
- Chaim Sheba Clinic;
- Rabin Medical Center;
- Shaare Zedek Medical Center, etc.
There are also specialized clinics, famous not only in their home country but also abroad. For example:
- Matzpen Psychological Clinic;
- Reuth Rehabilitation Centre;
- Melanoma Unit Skin Cancer Center (part of the Assuta network).
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET TREATED IN ISRAEL?
Prices for treatment in Israel are lower than in the USA and some European clinics. In comparison to American healthcare, you can save up to 10-50%. However, the cost of treatment is higher than in Asian hospitals. Approximate price for medical services in Israel:

FAQ
High-quality treatment in Israel requires considerable cash outlay. The lion's share of which goes to the paperwork, transportation, accommodation, translators. It is better not to save on the most important thing - treatment, but to reduce expenses for minor needs. Firstly, it is possible to pass some part of the diagnostics in the home country, provided that it is of high quality and not outdated. It is advisable to preliminarily clarify which test results you can bring with you, since some types of examination by Israeli doctors prefer to be carried out in their clinic. Then you can save on the flight and choose cheaper options. It should be borne in mind that air ticket prices increase during the tourist season. Arriving in the country, you need to take care of accommodation. Hotels in tourist areas are always more expensive. However, there are plenty of other cheaper offers. In addition, you can think about renting an apartment, which is often much cheaper than hotel accommodation. Another option is to contact the organizing company. Large companies that are engaged in medical tourism, provide full range of services (flight, accommodation, treatment). More often than not, it is much more profitable to accept their offers financially than to organize themselves.
In Israel, there is a visa-free entry for tourists from many countries. Without visa stay in the country is for 90 days. If necessary, you can apply to the Israeli Ministry of the Interior for an extension of your stay. To enter the country, you will need a valid passport, it must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Israel. The child needs a separate document. Border services are also entitled to demand an invitation from the clinic, medical insurance, tickets with dates of entry and exit, hotel reservations, proof of finances. It is also recommended to clarify in advance whether the medical reports of local doctors and their translation into English or Hebrew will be required.
Diagnostic methods in Israel differ from domestic ones. Unfortunately, diagnostic errors are common in developing countries. Therefore, doctors in Israel do not always agree to take the responsibility of treating a patient according to unverified results. And may require re-examination. It is possible to pass home diagnostics only with the use of high-quality modern equipment and compliance with the technologies for preparing results. High-quality and fresh MRI, CT scans, biopsy materials brought with them, which will be subjected to revision, are being taken.
99% of medical institutions in Israel are state-owned. It is quite difficult to go to the clinic directly for foreign patients. Most of the official websites of hospitals with important information are in Hebrew, and by submitting an application for an appointment with a doctor, you will not be able to quickly receive an appointment. Medical institutions prefer to cooperate with foreign patients through partners (medical tourism companies or private agents) who do all the organizational work and take care of the comfortable stay of patients in the country. They have agreements with the largest clinics and can as soon as possible arrange a meeting with any doctor, arrange treatment and are responsible for the patient. Some clinics also have their own departments of medical tourism. But most of them do not work so quickly and do not fully fulfill their obligations. It should be reminded that among the huge number of such companies there are many scammers. Therefore, you need to apply only in an organization with a good reputation.
