•  Receive a letter-confirmation from the doctor regarding details of treatment

•  The tentative cost and duration of treatment are indicated in the Agreement between the patient and the Centre.

Amount of medical services is determined by the doctor-in-charge; it includes surgical intervention, anesthesia, Ilizarov fixator or implants and other devices, accommodation in a common/single room, consultations of specialists, radiographic and other studies and also accommodation of the accompanying person in the patient’s room. International patients also have to cover extra-charge for services of Migration subdivision, Legal and International departments (mandatory package).

•Prepare an official invitation for the patient and accompanying person provided by the Ilizarov Center to apply for the Russian entry visa. As processing time is about 30 days, it is strongly recommended to apply for the official invitation well in advance•

• Apply for visa for the patient and accompanying person in the Russian Federation Consulate in India.

• Purchasing airline tickets by the patient. There is direct Moscow-Kurgan flight every day. Beside Moscow, the nearest to Kurgan international airports are in Ekaterinburg, Tyumen, and Chelyabinsk.

•Admission to the hospital is possible only after complete prepayment of the amount indicated in the Agreement. Head of International department issues referral for admission•

• At admission the patient is examined by a GP/pediatrician. Necessary tests for the patient and accompanying person can be done in the Ilizarov Center or at home (the results should be accordingly translated into Russian and verified by an authorized specialist)•

• Patients who receive complex of medical services on correction of lower limb disproportions and deformities are supposed to undergo preoperative tests and examinations at the Ilizarov Centre.
