Check-up clinics in Israel
If a patient wants to have a quality examination, they can contact Israel clinics for check-up diagnostics. It is a medical examination to assess the health of a person. During check-up diagnostics a person gets to know which body systems need to be paid more attention to eliminate any symptoms or other health problems.
Benefits of regular medical examinations
Here are the reasons why people need to undergo a routine medical check-up at least once a year:
- Detection of the disease at an early stage;
- Increased chances of effective treatment and complete recovery;
- The ability to monitor your physical, mental and emotional health;
- Increased life expectancy.
The examination and approach to treatment in Israeli medicine are different from the methods in other countries. Therefore, in many cases, a check-up examination is required. This is necessary to clarify the diagnosis and correct treatment.
MedTour patients recommend clinics for the treatment of check-up in Israel:
Frequently Asked Questions
It is better to give preference to a multidisciplinary medical center. Here the patient are able to pass all the necessary tests and undergo instrumental examinations: ultrasound, MRI, CT. During the diagnosis, it may be necessary to have a consultation with a narrow specialist. If the hospital has a narrow specialization, the patient will be redirected to another clinic. This is associated with additional financial costs and unnecessary loss of time.
It is important to undergo check-up diagnostics every year. The research results provide up-to-date information about the patient’s health. An examination of the body should be planned in the near future if the patient has one or more risk factors:
- Smoking or living with smokers;
- Regular intake of alcohol;
- Living in a polluted region;
- Work that is associated with exposure to harmful factors (for example, radiation or chemicals);
- Chronic diseases, heart problems or cancer in your relatives;
- Chronic stress at work and at home.
Check-up helps to identify the disease at an early stage. The diagnostic plan depends on the gender and age of the patient, or is aimed at identifying certain diseases, for example, cardiac pathology.
Check-up is carried out in advance, before the onset of any symptoms, while the standard diagnosis is prescribed by the doctor after the first signs of the disease appear.
The check-up is much cheaper than the procedures that are carried out separately. Clinics optimize check-up prices due to a large flow of patients who undergo the same studies.
All examinations that are included in the selected check-up program, the patient undergoes within one day. As it is correct, the check-up begins in the morning with general blood and urine tests. It is important that the patient does not eat anything in the morning, and on the day before the examination they have a light meal.
After passing the tests, the patient undergoes a doctor’s consultation. The doctor will discuss the possible diagnostic options and prescribe the subsequent research plan. In overseas hospitals, the patient must be accompanied by a representative of the international department who speaks the patient’s native language.
After the tests are carried out, the patient will receive the results and comments of the doctor in English and native languages.
To pass a check-up examination in a foreign clinic, you need to leave a request on the MedTour website. The coordinating doctor will help with the choice of the clinic and select the most suitable check-up diagnostic program for the patient.
At all stages of organizing a trip, the medical coordinator of the MedTour platform is in touch with the patient. Our experts will help with the purchase of air tickets, booking apartments near the clinic, escort and transfer.
MedTour services are free. The patient pays the bill for diagnostics and treatment at the clinic.
