FAQ
Can you give me some information about the Shemer medical team?All our staff members are qualified. From nurses to doctors, we thoroughly check all applicants and ensure that our patients get the very best service only. Our patients are treated by the department heads or their senior staff only.
Can you provide some information about Israeli culture and languages spoken?People came to our country from 86 different countries, bringing with them a wealthy mix of culture, languages and even cooking. We speak Hebrew and Arabic as our main languages, but English is spoken widely and many more languages are heard in our streets.
How do I know that the quality of your care is excellent?Our continued success for over 20 years depends on our reputation for providing quality care at fair prices. As we work with the leading hospitals in Israel and are allowed chartering any physician of our choice. This means that our modular service allows us, case by case, to combine the most experienced physician and hospital as to ensure you will get the best possible treatment for your specific case. We also pride ourselves of patient feedback that helps us to assess our services all the time.
How many days after my medical procedure may I leave?You can stay as long as you like! After treatment is completed, many patients opt to see our beautiful country. After all: the Bible was written here and in addition we offer a fantastic nature. Our official quote will include only the days needed for your treatment, but feel free to add some extra days for recuperation!
How many days prior to my medical procedure should I arrive in Israel?This varies from patient to patient and will be mentioned in our recommendations. In most cases a day or the weekend before.
Is it safe to travel so far after a medical procedure?Your travel plans will be dictated by your medical condition. We will always advise you of our recommendation on this subject and observe the time needed for recuperation.
What are your hospitals like? What is the standard of sanitation?Our facilities are immaculate. Shemer Medical Center screens and inspects its partner hospitals as to ensure that they adhere to the accepted standards of cleanliness and service defined in North America and Europe. No waitlists and expert nurses will accompany you during your hospitalization. As one of our patients described it: “It was home. No, it was even better than home.”
What if my own doctor has concerns about me coming over to you?Such a concern is to be expected and respected. We can arrange for your physician and you to actually ‘meet’ our medical team during a video conference call as we have the facility on our premises.
What if the procedure I seek is not on your website?If you require a specific procedure that is not on our website, please contact us immediately so that we may assist you in your search. Through our network we can cover most of the known and many of the latest procedures. It is a company standard to always provide you with answers to your questions.
What price differences can I expect compared to, for example,North America and Europe?The price of your total package, inclusive of the medical procedure, hospitalization, consultation fees, tests, medication, transportation and accommodation can be 30-60% lower that even just the procedure alone in North America and Europe. This means that at this kind of price you can include some vacation days in the Holy Country and still pay much less.
What services are included in my medical estimate?Our offer will include all services offered, of which you may choose, of course: transportation, hotel accommodation, consultations, tests, medical procedures, hospitalization, and post-procedure consultation.

When are payments due?Prior to arriving to Israel there will be a prepayment to us. This will be monitored by the consular section of the Israeli Embassy that takes care of your visa application. Upon arrival, the main part of payment is requested and final payment is expected before release from the hospital.
Why are the price differences so significant?The Israeli economy is very favorable when compared to the American or European economy. Also, Medical Malpractice is arranged different and much cheaper than in the mentioned areas, which is another saving. Salaries and expenses are much different too, allowing us to offer you top-of-the-line medical treatment at affordable prices.
De ce turismul medical este atat de popular?Inca din vremea Romanilor oamenii calatoreau pentru tratament medical. Este tot mai evident ca turismul medical a devenit din ce in ce mai popular in ultimii ani. De ce atat de multi oameni calatoresc departe de casa pentru tratament? Exista mai multe motive. Raspunsul principal ar fi ca aceasta este de fapt o afacere mai buna pentru multi oameni. Planificat atent, turismul medical aduce multe beneficii pacientilor si din aceasta cauza din ce in ce mai multi oameni calatoresc in strainatate pentru tratamente pe care nu le pot obtine in tara lor. Poate unul din cei mai importanti factori in popularitatea turismului medical este costul. Tratamentul a atins in multe tari niveluri de pret foarte ridicate pentru populatie din cauza birocratiei si costului asigurarii medicale de malpraxis. Chiar si cei care au asigurare medicala considera impovaratoare costurile medicale neacoperite de asigurare. Turismul medical ofera pentru multi o solutie, intrucat costurile tratamentului in multe tari este mult mai scazut decat in Statele Unite si Europa. In unele cazuri, chiar si atunci cand asigurarea acopera tratamentul, calatoria in strainatate pentru tratament este incurajata in special pentru planurile prin intermediul angajatorilor care pot, de asemenea, beneficia de tratamente cu costuri mici. Turismul medical a mai inregistrat o crestere de popularitate pe seama timpului lung de asteptare pentru tratament in sistemele de sanatate suprasolicitate si lente. Multi pacienti pur si simplu nu pot astepta luni intregi pentru operatia de care au nevoie. Nu mai trebuie sa renunti la calitatea vietii doar pentru ca sistemul nu face fata. In alta tara puteti beneficia de tratamentul potrivit mai repede sau mai convenabil. Pacienti cu afectiuni rare sau intr-o stare speciala pot fi nevoiti sa calatoreasca deoarece tipul de ingrijire de specialitate de care au nevoie pur si simplu nu este disponibil in tara lor. In aceste cazuri, raspunsul rapid si un cost mai economic sunt ca cireasa pe tort. Turismul medical mai este popular si pentru latura turistica. A te afla departe de stresul de acasa si de la serviciu, poate fi o mult mai buna si mai relaxanta metoda de a te reface dupa o operatie. Multi oameni gasesc mai convenabil sa combine aceste doua laturi iar companiile specializate in pachete de turism medical au facut acest lucru mai usor ca oricand. Nu mai trebuie spus ca impletirea celor doua aspecte a gasit in Israel partenerul ideal.
