Why go to Hungary for treatment?
The quality of medical care in Hungary ranks high among the countries of the world, and the treatment methods are recognised by the international medical community. The quality of medical care is not inferior to that of popular medical tourism destinations, but it also attracts patients from all over the world with its more favourable pricing policy.
Hungary is also popular for its mild, temperate continental climate, but its numerous medicinal and thermal springs make it unique. The country is known worldwide for its achievements in onco-haematology, oncology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation and rehabilitation therapies (including conductive pedagogy), and is also at the forefront of other medical fields.
Hungary has health centres in the form of both public (municipal and university) clinics and private hospitals. The hospitals are up to the standards of leading European clinics in terms of both technical equipment and patient living conditions. Large multidisciplinary medical centres usually have Russian-speaking staff.
The validity period of the permit is determined by the length of the medical treatment, but is maximised in 2 years,
which may be extended on occasions by the length of the medical treatment to a maximum period of 2 years.
