I see over 3000 patients every year and around 300 of them require advanced surgery. This partnership will further improve our processes, we can consult on cases with ATOS and access tele radiology directly with the international office in Germany.”

"Local consultants provide direct assistance to patients and their families through personalized medical and concierge Services according to the needs and expectations of each and every patient and his or her family. We will have access to directly correspond with ATOS Clinics on every patient inquiry within 24-48hours after evaluating the initial medical reports of the patients with the appropriate physicians and experts.”
