Health tours, treatment in Latvia. Sanatoriums Boarding houses in Latvia

When choosing a country for treatment abroad, a medical tourist, as a rule, relies on several main criteria - the quality of treatment, its cost and ease of organizing the trip. For the majority of residents of post-Soviet and Scandinavian countries, all these criteria are met by the Baltic countries, and especially by Latvia, which receives the largest number of foreign patients per year.

With the assistance Investment and Development Agency of Latvia representatives of the Ukrainian Medical Tourism Association were able to get acquainted with the level of Latvian medicine, learn the advantages of medical centers that so attract foreign patients. All advanced medical centers are located in 3 cities of Latvia - Riga, Sigulda, Jurmala.

It is worth noting that Latvians are very welcoming and friendly towards Ukraine, and many may not even know the fact that such clinics as Orto clinic And Dr. Valtera Protezu Laboratory have always supported Ukraine in difficult periods. Dr. Valter's laboratory is an ocular prosthetics clinic - the only institution in the Baltic countries that produces ocular prostheses from cryolite glass and PMMA materials. Here, in 1-3 days, a prosthesis will be made as identical to the native eye as possible. It is worth emphasizing that thanks to the founder and director of this clinic, Valdis Valters, more than 40 wounded people were able to receive free assistance in the form of the necessary eye prostheses. The eye prosthetics clinic also cooperates with the Kyiv Center for Eye Therapy and Microsurgery, where hundreds of children have already received a free consultation with one of the leading doctors in the field of eye prosthetics - Dr. Valters.

If we talk about the Orto clinic, even the name of the clinic suggests that the main areas here are traumatology-orthopedics, treatment of spinal diseases and rheumatology. Seven of the best orthopedic traumatologists, vertebrologists and rheumatologists in the country united in 2008 and opened Orto clinic.

The main advantages of this clinic are the high professionalism of the doctors, round-the-clock availability of a rheumatologist, minimal risk of infections during surgical interventions and, at the same time, a comfortable psychological climate. At the clinic we met patients from Ukraine - Elena and Yukhim, who, when asked by journalists: “Why this particular clinic?” They answered very precisely: “They trust not the clinic, but the doctor. We came for an operation with a specific doctor, knowing his high professionalism.” Elena also noted that the clinic has a clear pricing policy, the cost of services is only 30% higher than in Ukraine, very caring staff and a pleasant aroma in the room that does not remind you of being inside the walls of a hospital.”

The second day in Latvia greeted our group with cool but sunny weather. From the very morning we continued to explore Latvian medicine and, according to the route, went to AIWA Clinic. The clinic was opened in March 2016 in a new four-story building in a cozy area of ​​Riga near the Daugava River. The profile of AIWA Clinic is surgical care, mainly minimally invasive laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery. We visited the “holy of holies” of the clinic - four operating rooms equipped with the latest medical science. The postoperative observation ward and the early postoperative rehabilitation unit will become the “heart” of the new clinic. Being in the modernly equipped AIWA Clinic, there is every chance to feel in the reliable hands of professional doctors and bravely challenge diseases, and cozy hotel-type rooms, with an emphasis on medical tourism, will help you feel at home, and as we all know, at home – and native walls are healing. The chief physician and co-founder of the clinic, Valery Ratobylsky, told us about the loyal and absolutely transparent pricing policy for services, demonstrated the operating rooms and focused on the medical tourism department, which is increasingly popular among foreign patients.

It is no secret that most often, in order to receive effective and efficient treatment, sometimes there is simply a lack of correct and high-quality diagnosis. For this purpose, a medical center was founded in 1988 "Medicinas sabiedribas ARS", as the first private medical institution in Latvia. At the moment, this diagnostic center is considered the largest multidisciplinary center in the very center of Riga, where 200 specialists of various fields work, most of whom are professors of medicine and doctors of medical sciences. But it is worth noting that in the center there is Philips Ingenia Ambient Experience 3.0T - first fully digital magnetic resonance imaging equipment Premium class with a magnetic field power of 3T (tesla) and a gantry diameter increased to 70 cm. With such equipment, it is possible to conduct the most accurate examination of the body, obtain the most accurate results, and diagnose pathological processes in the early stages, which is especially important in the treatment of cancer. With such equipment, up to 70 sections can be made, since it is better to treat cancer in the early stages, then there is an almost 100% guarantee of successful treatment.

Large diagnostic and treatment centers also include Sarital Clinic Riga. This is probably one of the most famous multidisciplinary clinics in Latvia. The center has long been known among foreign patients and has proven itself very well. We were shown spacious rooms, equipment and all services for VIP clients. The clinic places a special emphasis on rehabilitation.

After Sarital Clinic Riga, we moved to Sigulda - a calm, green city with beautiful parks, observation platforms and a calm pace of life. A great place to recharge after the busy pace of life in big cities. In Sigulda we visited "Center for Stereotactic Radiosurgery Sigulda", which opened less than a year ago and is currently the only one in the Baltic countries that has CyberKnife System for the treatment of cancer. The latest generation system is 6. The closest one is located only in Munich. In 5 months of operation, in addition to residents of Latvia, the clinic has already received patients from more than six countries.

The CyberKnife operation is performed on an outpatient basis, without surgery and with minimal radiation, emphasized the head of the clinic, Māris Skromanis.

And a doctor from Ukraine, neurosurgeon Vladislav Burik, explained in detail how this device works. CyberKnife is used for the treatment of benign and malignant tumors with clear boundaries and localization, as well as for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. The level of the center was truly amazing, and the cost of services is significantly lower than in other European countries.

As for the aggressive malignant skin disease “melanoma”, here too Latvian medicine is one step ahead. There is a unique clinic for the treatment of oncological diseases in Latvia - International Virotherapy Center. The treatment itself, including melanoma, consists of injection of live viruses with oncotropic and oncolytic properties - "Rigvir", which recognize and kill cancer cells. At the clinic we met a patient from Ukraine. Three years ago she was given a serious diagnosis - stage IV skin cancer with numerous metastases. In Ukraine, there was no effect from the standard chemotherapy. But the patient did not give up and began searching for a medical center abroad that would accept her for treatment. It turned out to be the International Virotherapy Center in Jurmala. After three years of treatment with the Rigvir virus drug, the patient feels satisfactory. She periodically comes for maintenance therapy, the disease has stopped its development, and the metastases have begun to shrink and disappear. This story shows that even in advanced cases you should never give up, but start choosing the right clinic and treatment system. The Ukrainian Association of Medical Tourism will be able to recommend the best clinic.

It is also worth noting a small but cozy clinic in Riga - Veselības center 4, which deserves due attention among the female half of the population. Here you can rejuvenate your face and body, undergo plastic surgery, undergo diagnosis and treatment of any skin diseases, check moles, treat veins with bioglue, and also undergo diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases. Special emphasis here should be placed on Baltic vein clinic, which is part of Veselības centrs 4 and offers a unique technology for vein surgery using biological glue, which does not require anesthesia. Chairman of the Board of Veselības centrs 4 and founder of the Baltic Vein Clinic – Māris Revalds told us about the history of the creation of the center and its branches, unique services, as well as the ideal conditions for the patient.

Maris Revalds is also a member of the board of the Medical Tourism Center Baltic Care, which includes 14 multidisciplinary clinics - both private and public. At the moment, Baltic Care is the largest medical tourism center in Latvia, which served 8,868 foreign patients in 2015 alone. By contacting Baltic Care, you can be confident in the prompt and high-quality selection of a doctor and the organization of the entire process of treatment and stay in Latvia.

And in conclusion, it is worth talking about the possibilities of Latvian medicine for young patients. Children's University Hospital- the only state children's clinic in Riga. The scale and comfort are truly impressive: diagnosis and treatment of any disease - from genetic research to complex operations; reconstructed buildings; covered passages between buildings; comfortable budget guest house for parents; doctors in clown costumes; spacious chambers and equipped games rooms. Little patients come here not only from all over Latvia, but also from other countries.

If you have decided to go to another country for childbirth, pay your attention to the medical center "Jurmalas slimnica" in Jurmala, which, according to Dr. Jolanta Barbale Malnase, is the third in Latvia in terms of the number of newborns per year. In terms of cost, the birth itself will not be much more expensive than in Ukraine - from 600 Euros in the absence of complications and the need for additional manipulations. In addition to childbirth, Jurmalas slimnica also specializes in gynecology, surgery and therapy.

To sum up, the level of private medicine, as well as additional services for foreign patients, offered by Latvian medicine is pleasantly impressive. The absence of a language barrier, mild climate and similarity of cultures are also a pleasant bonus. In Latvia, you can get examined and treated for almost any disease. The main thing is to choose the right medical center in accordance with the problem, first discuss all the details with the leading doctor and resolve all organizational issues regarding visa issuance, logistics and accommodation.

The Ukrainian Association of Medical Tourism will be able to resolve these issues and recommend the best clinic if you decide to undergo diagnostics, treatment, rehabilitation, or get a “second opinion” in Latvia.

Ukrainian Association of Medical Tourism

Since Latvia's accession to the European Union, the level of medical care in the country has reached European standards. Prices for medical and health services remained at a level accessible to Latvian citizens.

This was the reason why people come to the country for treatment not only from Russia, but also from European countries. After all, even according to the most conservative estimates, the cost of accommodation and treatment will be much less than, for example, in clinics in Moscow or Berlin.

What is treated in Latvia

Medical tourism in Latvia is supported at the state level. There is a special Medical Tourism Center that provides assistance to foreign citizens.

Having received a grant from the European Union, Latvia has updated the technical equipment of its clinics and sanatoriums. The level of provision of medical institutions and centers with the most modern equipment often exceeds similar European ones.

Medical personnel are systematically trained and recertified in the best clinics:

  • Germany;
  • France;
  • Belgium.

Also an important factor for patients from Russia is the absence of a language barrier and the familiar mentality of our neighbors.

Most of the medical procedures for which citizens of our country travel to Latvia do not require long-term treatment. For example, dental or vision care can be obtained in just one day.

Some types of cosmetic procedures and aesthetic surgeries take from one to five days. Such medical interventions most often do not even require a hospital stay and are fully namely medical tourism.

However, Russians often come to conduct research, surgery and subsequent rehabilitation. Latvian medical institutions are ready to receive Russian citizens for long-term treatment, requiring advance planning.

Alcohol and drug addiction treatment services are provided by the drug addiction department of the ARS Medical Society, the Riga Center for Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine, and the Union Clinic.

However, the range of medical services that can be obtained in Latvia is much wider than the above list. Of course, it is worth mentioning such areas of medicine as neurosurgery, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, dermatology, rehabilitation and restorative treatment.

The diagnostic capabilities of medical institutions allow for the most complete studies. And sanatorium treatment in Latvia provides an opportunity not only to recover after treatment, but also to fully relax.

Women may find the opportunity to give birth in one of the Latvian clinics attractive. Separately worth mentioning trip for spa treatments. This type of medical tourism is especially suitable for residents of megacities who suffer from lack of movement, polluted air, stress and neuroses.


A little about prices

For ethical reasons, we do not specifically indicate prices for various types of complex treatment or surgical intervention.

Their cost is a delicate issue, and only clinic specialists can give exact prices. However, we can give basic prices for some services dental, aesthetic and rehabilitation procedures.

In dentistry, for example, installing one implant costs about 1000 EUR. In clinics in one of the large Russian cities, the price of only the implant itself starts from 40,000 rubles; the cost of installation and subsequent monitoring is calculated separately.

If we talk about complex treatment, the difference can reach 40%, even taking into account travel and accommodation.

At the EGV clinic, the IVF procedure costs, on average, 30% less than in Moscow specialized centers. Considering that this operation is extremely delicate and expensive, a trip to Riga is extremely profitable.

Aesthetic and cosmetic procedures will also cost 20-40% less:

We can safely say that proper rest, combined with quality medical procedures in Latvia, costs less than the same procedures (without rest) in Russia.

In conclusion, I would like to note that human health is priceless. And qualified specialists and cordial staff of Latvian clinics will help you maintain it at the proper level.

The history of the use of healing natural springs in Jurmala dates back to the 18th century, when local residents, noticing the effect of water and mud on health, set up baths in their homes. In the 19th century, by the will of the Russian emperors, natural springs began to be purposefully developed: boarding houses, hydropathic clinics, and clinics were built here.

Most of the sanatoriums located in Jurmala today were built during Soviet times. The growing popularity of Baltic mineral and mud springs was facilitated by the relative proximity of Jurmala to the central cities of the European part of Russia, primarily to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Visiting Baltic sanatoriums turned out to be less time-consuming and safer than, say, the Caucasian mineral waters region.

Jurmala is not only a famous resort, but also a center of sanatorium and health treatment in Latvia. Favorable climatic conditions, the proximity of the sea and pine forests, make local sanatoriums an excellent place to tone the body and undergo a set of healing procedures based on the use of thermal water from natural sources and peat mud.

The resort area is rich in deposits of healing peat and sapropel mud. As you know, sapropel mud has a unique organic-mineral composition, which includes amino acids that are beneficial for the human body, as well as vitamins, microelements, natural biostimulants and antibiotics. This mud has an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and absorbable effect, helping against many diseases. The mineral water of Jurmala in different sources has different levels of mineralization, which allows sanatoriums to use it to treat an extensive list of diseases.

Treatment methods used

Jurmala sanatoriums offer their guests the following range of medical procedures:

  • hydrotherapy (mineral baths with water from healing springs effectively eliminate inflammatory processes, relieve body pain and stimulate the immune system);
  • drinking course of thermal water (in addition to the general beneficial effect on the body, it improves the color and condition of the skin, removes toxins and stabilizes blood pressure);
  • diet therapy (the nutritionist prepares an individual diet plan for each patient of the sanatorium for diseases of the digestive system, in other cases he recommends a classic diet menu that increases overall tone);
  • underwater spinal traction (a special procedure performed in the pool by experienced doctors to correct posture and treat degenerative pathologies of the spinal column);
  • mud therapy (wraps and applications are performed with both sapropel mud for the treatment of skin and cardiovascular diseases, and peat mud for disorders of motor activity);
  • electrotherapy (ultrasound therapy, magnetic therapy, laser therapy);
  • physiotherapy;
  • climate therapy (fresh sea air, ionized by pine forests, has an additional healing effect on the guests of the sanatorium);
  • Thalassotherapy (the use of sea air and sea water during health procedures).

For most tourists, the gateway to Latvia is its capital, Riga. Riga is one of the most picturesque cities in Europe; its historical center is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. No one will ever be bored here, because Riga has a lot of places where you can relax and have fun. We suggest, for example, a ride on a retro tram through the old city, a look at the Museum of the Sun, or a pleasant refreshment in the Livu water park.


But much more popular than Riga is the resort of Jurmala. It was here that the New Wave music festival was held for many years. Here is the concentration of secular, tourist and social life in Latvia. And also - 26 kilometers of beaches with white quartz sand, perfect for walking and relaxing!

Jurmala is perfect for those who want to improve their health. For example, anyone here can find solutions to problems related to the respiratory system and musculoskeletal system. In Jurmala, three recreation areas harmoniously intertwine - sea, forest and cultural. Holidays here are chosen by those who are attracted by the mild climate, healing sea air and interesting entertainment programs.

Relaxation in such sanatoriums and health resorts as Jaunkameri and Kemeri will bring undoubted health benefits. For many years they have been known for their balneotherapeutic centers. They provide effective courses of treatment using phyto- and mud baths, all kinds of wraps, as well as mineral waters with a high sulfur content.

To summarize, we note that Latvia is characterized by a combination of ample opportunities for restoring health and a lot of entertainment. It definitely won’t be boring! A professional approach to treatment, combined with a favorable climate, sea air saturated with iodine and pine esters, will very soon give a positive effect.
