We are talking about unique operations associated with the restoration of hearing, or operations involving repair of limbs lost because of traumatic amputation.
Prices in clinics in Poland
Free (insurance) medicine is available only to Polish citizens, but Ukrainians should rely only on treatment on a fee basis, so many are interested in prices for the services provided. First of all, it should be noted that the cost of treatment depends on the complexity of the disease, the selected clinic, the package of services provided and other important factors. As an example, let us give the prices for treatment in Poland for the most popular types of procedures.
Non-complex surgical operations that do not require postoperative care and a long rehabilitation period cost an average of 2-4 thousand euros. A more complicated surgery can cost about 10 thousand euros. Treatment of oncology is from 5 to 20 thousand euros.
Organizing the trip itself and paying for your stay in Poland will cost up to 1 thousand euros.
