TREATMENT IN POLAND
Many patients from developing countries seek quality medical care abroad because of the lack of necessary medical equipment in hospitals at home, a limited number of professional specialists and outdated therapy methods. Recently, more and more medical tourists choose Poland over other countries. What are their reasons?
The high-quality medical services that meet international standards and hospitals that have received international accreditation. Leading clinics in Poland have been recognised by the Joint Commission International (JCI), have ISO 9001 certificate and are members of the Polish Association of Medical Tourism.
BENEFITS OF TREATMENT IN POLAND

Newsweek magazine names the surgical department of the University of Krakow as the most technologically advanced and the safest in the country. This rating takes into account the percent of successful surgeries, patients’ feedback and the availability of advanced equipment.
FEATURES OF CANCER TREATMENT IN POLAND
To diagnose the exact type and stage of cancer, oncological departments of polish hospitals use advanced methods of CT, MRI, and PET scanning. These devices can detect the location of the tumor with a 2 mm precision; the presence of metastases up to 1 mm, and the degree of damage to surrounding tissues.
Cancer treatment in Poland is carried out using innovative linear accelerators that can aim large doses of radiation directly for the malignant formations. This method maximizes the destruction of cancerous cells and minimizes the harm done to healthy organs.
Unique immunotherapy methods activate the immune system and focus it on preventing cancer cell development.
The cost of cancer treatment isn’t small in any country. Yet, the prices for cancer treatment in Poland are among the most affordable in Europe and not much different from those in developing countries. Many patients list the price policy as one of the biggest advantages of Polish medicine.

Margarita: I want to share my experience at the University Hospital in Krakow. I hope my feedback will be useful to someone. I have never met doctors and nurses like that before. They constantly supported, helped, and gave advice. They even accompanied me to the pharmacy! The interpreter translated everything. I needed to have a check-up.

Now I recommend the Krakow clinic to my relatives and colleagues..."
