Need help organizing a treatment request?
If you want coordination after researching this hospital, send a short treatment request. Treat in Germany and EMEX Medical can clarify the case, the records needed and the appropriate hospital communication route.
Before sending a treatment request
Check the hospital's current submission instructions first. International offices commonly need a concise medical history and recent reports, and some departments may request imaging or pathology before deciding whether an appointment or treatment proposal can be offered.
