"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level
Hello, my name is Vladislav Ivanov, Ukraine, Odessa city. In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That's when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children's hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It's all very scary, but it's worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU.

I really liked the clinic
I really liked the clinic. Logistics. Transfer. The doctors are competent. Competent. The equipment in the clinic is new and excellent. But the translators were very upset, it spoiled my impression of the clinic. This made me very sad! The quality of the translation was incompetent, poor, slow, disorganized, very often different information, they did not answer my questions and I had to ask the same question 5 times to get an answer or an appointment with the doctor. They made mistakes regarding the diagnosis. It is unacceptable . I advise you to pay attention to translators and pay attention to the quality of their work! This spoils the reputation of the clinic!

Conclusions: if you have completed all the treatments and nothing has helped you and your fate is neurosurgery, feel free to trust yourself to this staff and Prof
Medipol-March 2024.
March 2024, the pain can no longer be tolerated. The left side of the leg is taken away, there are strong shootings all over the leg.
The organization was at the highest level. They met me upon arrival, put me in a car, took me to the hotel, and in the morning I ended up seeing a Neurosurgeon.
The next day - surgery. Removal of intervertebral hernia L4-L5.
Three months have passed, there is no pain like before, there are moments, but completely different.
Personal thanks from me:
Prof.Dr Nejat Akalan- Thank you for providing such relief to my illness. The pain is gone, I don’t run, but it’s very easy compared to what I had before when I didn’t come to you.
Thank you so much!
Dasha - Thank you very much for your support and organization of all the moments. Your speed and logistics helped me a lot.
It is very valuable that you work and help people in this area. Highest appreciation for your work.
Alina - You constantly adjusted all the aspects and kept the whole process in good shape. I didn’t forget anything and managed to do it thanks to you!
Firyuza - thank you for being there on the day of the operation and skillfully managing all the details.
Conclusions: if you have completed all the treatments and nothing has helped you and your fate is neurosurgery, feel free to trust yourself to this staff and Prof.Dr Nejat Akalan.
