Timely preventive diagnostics and monitoring of one’s health indicators are an integral part of modern life. MediGlobus has compiled a selection of the best check-up offers for patients who want to quickly, comfortably, and, most importantly, accurately obtain a comprehensive picture of their health. Read our article to find out where you can undergo a comprehensive medical examination abroad, what you need to do, and how much this service costs.
How does a check-up abroad work?
Many foreign clinics offer patients special comprehensive diagnostic programmes known as check-ups. These are package deals that include a range of tests and consultations with doctors from different fields. Such programmes provide an opportunity to learn more about your health and receive recommendations from doctors on the prevention and treatment of identified pathologies.
To go for a check-up abroad, leave a request on the MediGlobus website. Our coordinators will call you back and help you choose a diagnostic programme and clinic to undergo it. They will contact the medical centre and forward your application.
The patient will then agree on the time of arrival for the examination with the hospital representatives. Most hospitals provide additional services: transfer from/to the airport, interpreter, hotel accommodation, meals, etc.
Approximately 70% of diseases can be successfully treated if detected at an early stage. Therefore, comprehensive preventive examinations are the best method for preventing complex pathologies. Check-ups are recommended for men and women over 40, as well as for people with a family history of serious illnesses, particularly cancer.
