Before you book

Confirm the treating doctor, authorized facility, exact procedure, written quotation, exclusions, cancellation terms, and realistic recovery window.

Medical preparation

Share complete health information and medication use. Follow only the medication, fasting, smoking, and testing instructions issued by your treating clinician.

Documents and travel

Carry identification, treatment documents, prescriptions, insurance information, emergency contacts, and enough flexibility for follow-up before flying home.

Procedure day

Your identity, consent, planned procedure, responsible clinician, allergies, and discharge arrangements should be checked before treatment begins.

Warning signs

Your treating team will provide procedure-specific red flags. Sudden breathing difficulty, chest pain, heavy bleeding, fainting, or rapidly worsening symptoms require urgent medical help.

This guide does not replace instructions from your treating clinician.
