What foreign patients should know
The international medical centre is a natural first point of contact. Neurosurgery appointments are in high demand, so an advance record review helps.
- Neurological conditions: Bring original brain MRI / CT (DICOM), EEG for epilepsy, and previous surgery and pathology records.
- Surgery: Brain surgery usually needs an outpatient consultation and pre-operative tests before admission is scheduled.
- ID: Bring your original passport to register.
- Payment: Fees are paid directly to the hospital; check direct insurance billing in advance.
