Treatment in Slovakia
Most of the territory of European Slovakia is occupied by the High Tatras mountain ranges, and therefore the country is primarily of interest to those travelers who cannot imagine themselves without resting at ski resorts. It is balneological treatment in Slovakia that is the second important area of international tourism in the country..
Important rules
The quality of treatment in Slovakia does not depend on the clinic and its location, since all activities of medical institutions are licensed and closely monitored by the Ministry of Health. Choosing a hospital or sanatorium in Slovakia, you can be sure that the level of services provided will be consistently high.
How do they help here?
Health care in the Republic of Slovakia is based on a health insurance system. Every working citizen pays cash contributions to one of five insurance companies, receiving in return most of the health care services covered by the policy. The insurance does not cover only certain types of dental care, cosmetic surgeries and the purchase of certain medications.
For foreign citizens, treatment in Slovakia is possible only for full payment. This also applies to hospitals and thermal spas. Free emergency assistance will be provided to any person, but the tourist is required to have the traveler's medical insurance.
Methods and achievements
More than a thousand large and small thermal springs in Slovakia form the basis of its spa resorts. You can choose from two dozen names, guided by your own wishes and preferences and not forgetting about the narrow specialization of health resorts:
- Dudince in the south of the country has a long history and impeccable reputation. The waters of the local springs simultaneously strengthen the heart and blood vessels and heal the joints due to the saturated content of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide.
- In Pieštyany, not only life-giving water is used for treatment, but also sulfur mud. The result is a significant improvement in the condition of rheumatic patients.
- Thirteen springs of the Bardeevskie Kupeli resort are a real find for those who are tired of digestive problems. The methods of treatment here are very diverse, but even a simple drink of healing water brings relief after a few days..
Issue price
You can clarify the prices for treatment in Slovakia directly on the websites of sanatoriums or from the tour operator organizing the trip. In any case, a truly royal vacation on local waters will cost several times less than a similar tour to Karlovy Vary or Baden-Baden.
