Outpatient Specialties and Advanced Methods
The clinic provides specialized care across more than 10 medical departments. Key areas include:

The cardiology department performs therapeutic apheresis – a blood purification process using special filtration membranes. This removes bad cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammatory substances before returning purified blood. International visitors can access this preventive treatment. Specialists with over 40 years of experience manage the procedure.
Neurological services include cognitive rehabilitation and lifestyle support for memory loss patients. For chronic headaches, neurosurgeons use detailed questionnaires and imaging. This helps distinguish migraines from serious conditions like brain tumors. A dedicated dental department performs periodontal tissue regeneration and gum disease screening.
