How to contact the Israeli Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) directly without intermediaries?

To contact the Israeli Ichilov Hospital - Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center directly without intermediaries, you can leave a request here: medicaltourisrael.com

I would advise you to contact an intermediary. So you will save the time of your stay in the country, and therefore your nerves and money, since the payment for the services to the intermediary will be cheaper than the same 5 days of paying for the hotel while you are waiting in line when you independently apply.

Yes, and with an intermediary you can get to the really leading doctor for an appointment. Believe me, no matter how you know English and maybe even Hebrew ... medical terminology and so on is still quite complicated and you need a person who can explain everything to you, translate ...

In principle, this is possible if you find the actual official website of the hospital. The main thing is not to get on the websites of false hospitals, i.e. intermediaries, otherwise they also often call their sites official.

In fact, contacting an Israeli hospital directly does not provide any advantages, except for paying according to the hospital's tariffs. If the only question is not to overpay for intermediary services, keep in mind that you can be treated at the rates of hospitals and at the same time receive all the service that a foreign patient needs, but is not available when contacting directly.

In Israel, a foreigner can pay for treatment according to the following schemes:

• to the cashier of the hospital (address: 6 Weizman St., Tel Aviv) at its official rates;

• all payments to the intermediary.

Avoid only those intermediaries who charge their own bill for the treatment, and the hospital will pay for the treatment provided to you. It is really better not to contact such intermediaries - their mark-ups are crazy.

The most profitable and convenient way to be treated in Israel is with an intermediary who takes care of all organizational issues related to the stay of a foreign patient in the hospital, for which he receives his commission from her. At the same time, the treatment is paid to the hospital cashier at the official rate, that is, the same amount as with direct contact, only with full support according to the situation. And not a cent to an intermediary. Such companies value their reputation and are interested in ensuring transparency of payments. They help in everything: they draw up a treatment plan in absentia, organize treatment with the best specialized specialists, book the dates of consultations and procedures in advance, search for housing, help to pass passport control - the patient comes to everything ready and is busy only with his treatment.

You can, of course, apply through the official website of the international department of Ichilov, which contains the same commission, but for the same money you will only get a translator and no related service. They will write you on the general queue with the Israelis and it may take a week or more to wait for each of their consultations or procedures. And Ichilov is also a state hospital and its international department does not deal with airport transfers and finding accommodation, it will not be possible to choose a doctor. And in general, all the difficulties and misunderstandings that may arise in a foreign country will have to be handled independently. The department is simply not staffed enough to provide round-the-clock support to each patient and their relatives.
