How does the whole process work?
When a patient comes to Medical Karaj Health Information Center, our competent consultants carry out a consultation with him, inform about his health problems, request the necessary medical documents and clinical examinations. We can assist in translating and legalizing the necessary documents through a partner company that gives preferential rates and conditions to our patients. At our discretion, the patient's documents are referred for review to hospitals that specialize in treating the specific disease. After discussing the case with the medical teams, the patient is given one or more treatment options. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our patients have the chance to make an intelligent and informed choice when making an important decision about their health.
After receiving quotes from several hospitals, we review and discuss the treatment plan with the patient. If the patient wishes, a date is scheduled for an examination and tests tailored to the patient and the available hours of the specific specialist at the hospital. We arrange the transport, hotel accommodation, internal transfers, interpreters and services that the patient needs. It is important to emphasize that ZIC Medical Karadži has a local representation that follows the whole process and can be a support and support to patients and their relatives during their stay and treatment.
