Today we can receive medical care in any country in the world. This is an invaluable opportunity for every person. Patients can contact highly specialized doctors, specialized clinics, rehabilitation centres. This opportunity allows you to receive qualified help from the best specialists in the world.
To receive consultations, undergo examinations, treatment, operations, etc., it is necessary to prepare for a trip to another country. Here it is important to take care not only of a foreign passport, visa, but also of the translation of medical documents for treatment and rehabilitation.
What documents are needed for treatment abroad?
Here you need 2 types of documents: for traveling abroad and medical ones.
In the first case, you need a foreign passport. You may also need a visa. For this, you need to collect a certificate from your place of work or study, a bank statement, a sponsorship agreement for payment of medical services, an invitation from a clinic that is ready to accept a patient, and other documents that are necessary for entry and stay in another country.
In order to travel abroad for the purpose of treatment or rehabilitation, you need to prepare medical documents:
- established diagnosis;
- prescribed treatment;
- test results;
- a medical card with information about your health status;
- permission from the attending physician to leave.
The list is approximate. For each case, it must be clarified individually with the receiving party. Since 2023, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has required the receipt of No. 027/o "Extract from the medical record of an outpatient (inpatient) patient". This document is prepared by a doctor who refers a person for treatment outside the country.
What to do if medical documents are handwritten?
A number of documents issued in Ukraine may be handwritten. This is common practice in the medical field. However, for treatment abroad, all documents must be translated. Here you may encounter another problem - illegible handwriting of the doctor.
