Not the most popular tourist destination, the Republic of Iran has literally worked wonders in recent years in attracting people who want to receive the most advanced cancer treatment. Scientists in this country have made progress in the study of oncology and the development of methods to combat various forms of human malignant tumors. In many ways, treatment in Iran can still be considered experimental, but several thousand foreigners are already striving to receive it every year.
Important rules
Even for a tourist trip to Iran, it is necessary to issue a travel medical insurance policy. This is not required by the entry regulations, but in case of unforeseen health problems, the document will help to avoid unnecessary expenses. The very first aid and emergency treatment in Iran is free of charge, but you will have to pay in full for hospital stay, medicines and further observation, and insurance will reimburse the money spent.
How do they help here?
Personal experience and reviews of travelers speak of the high level of competence of Iranian doctors. Doctors are distinguished by punctuality, all services are provided at a decent clinical level, and equipment and drugs do not cause any problems or complaints.
Methods and achievements
Iranian clinical medicine has achieved particular success in combating malignant neoplasms at the earliest stages:
- Timely diagnosis of breast cancer has become possible thanks to the development of a new version of the mammograph, which makes it possible to reduce the percentage of medical errors by several times.
- Ultrasound therapy for oncological neoplasms, according to Iranian doctors, is a new word in clinical medicine.
- Radiopharmaceutical treatment for liver cancer is an injection of radioactive particles that only affect the oncological tumor. Healthy cells are not damaged, and therefore there is no negative side effect of treatment.
- New diagnostic equipment greatly simplifies the detection of leukemia. Early diagnosis of this cancer increases the patient's chances of successful recovery.
Issue price
The cost of treatment in Iran is significantly lower than in clinics in the United States or Israel. Doctors and scientists are actively working on the creation of more and more vaccines, drugs and diagnostic methods, thanks to which Iranian medicine makes a new progressive breakthrough every year. One of the latest inventions is a device for the rehabilitation of patients with motor impairment. Thanks to this development, hundreds of patients with multiple sclerosis will be able to feel like almost full-fledged members of society.
