Q. Can i get as a Foreigner treatment plan?

The phrase “treatment in Germany” has long been a symbol of solving complex health problems. Thousands of people come here from European countries, CIS and the United States annually. German clinics willingly provide medical care to foreign patients because medical treatment in Germany for foreigners is rarely covered by the health insurance and therefore brings an additional income. There are much more comfortable conditions for international patients. Diagnostics and treatment are also performed on the highest level. Large medical institutions establish International Offices to work with such patients. Nevertheless, the healthcare system in Germany has its peculiarities, which you should know in advance before planning a trip.
