When the patients identify where they would like to have their treatment, they must have in mind the remoteness from the airports, main road and main railways in cases of any emergencies. 

We’ll give our recommendation which is based on a long experience and a profound analysis of all criteria necessary for the quality of medical the patients are looking for.
