What Makes Maryna Your Trusted Guide?

Maryna previously worked as a coordinator at Bookimed, helping patients find the best medical solutions. Currently, she focuses on medical content localization and data management for an international medical tourism platform.

She makes decisions based on facts, analysis, and real experience supporting patients. For her, it's important not just to respond to a request, but to deeply understand the situation: assess risks, priorities, and possible treatment paths. Maryna doesn't work with universal solutions and doesn't create false expectations — each case requires an individual approach and clear logic.

Maryna shares Bookimed's values: openness, expertise, self-development, and freedom of choice. She always speaks directly, explains complex medical issues in understandable terms, and takes responsibility for the entire support process so that patients feel clarity and support even in difficult situations.

"My goal is to make the treatment journey as clear, organized, and safe as possible at every step."

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.

All consultations were organised in a highly professional manner with the necessary preparation.
We received several counselling sessions and a proposal for treatment. All consultations were organised in a highly professional manner with the necessary preparation. We liked very much the approach of the counsellors. Convenient way of providing the necessary information and documentation, constant communication with the consultants and prompt responses, as well as the organisation of online meetings. All submitted documents were analysed by the doctor before the consultation, we received comprehensive answers to all the questions we had, as well as very important recommendations for additional examination. Only one minor disadvantage: during one of the consultations the connection was interrupted several times, but it did not affect the final result, the connection was restored and all unclear related issues were solved by repeated discussion.

The most important thing in life is health, I completely changed my priorities, because when you understand that you can’t do anything, you start just asking Allah.
Hello! I thank the bookimed team for getting us to the clinic in Medipol Turkey. I was very confused and did not even know how to find a clinic! I accidentally looked at this clinic on YouTube and decided to write to bookimed. You just have no idea how scared I was thinking if I was doing the right thing! It turns out to be very correct. I got good doctors. I am satisfied. God forbid that my son recovers and that no one ever gets sick. Many thanks to Marina, she is always my motivator at any time, I can write to her, she will gladly answer and explain everything to me. May Allah grant you all long life and health! Come visit us in Tashkent, I love you all! The most important thing in life is health, I completely changed my priorities, because when you understand that you can’t do anything, you start just asking Allah.

Then we were picked up an hour before the appointment or examination, and everyone had time ... Thanks to the translators Aysalkyn and Sofya

The work is coordinated, competent and professional. 24/7.
Good day to all. I wanted to write about the Anadolu clinic. The choice fell on her based on reviews. But I would like to mention curator Marina from Bookimed and curator Zahida from the clinic. The work is coordinated, competent and professional. 24/7. They were undergoing treatment for oncology. It's not just the treatment that's different. But also the attitude towards this group of patients. Everything is aimed at the result of treatment. The presentation of the diagnosis and the stage of the disease are not emphasized. Which is very important for cancer patients. A professional with a capital P and a very good person - oncomammologist Kemal Bey. His whole team. Anesthesiologists and plastic surgeons. and of course nurses. Translator Khalid. 24/7. And of course Zahida. Our curator. Professional. Always in touch. Will always support. I'm sure . We will recover. Thank you all very much

I want to say a special thank you to Marina for her help in choosing a clinic and all the work she did. And also thanks to Gulzara for always helping in everything within the walls of the clinic!.
Spent a day in the clinic. In general, the impressions are positive. The chamber is great. The only thing, it seemed that the nurses did not drop in very often - to find out about the condition, to carry out procedures. In Germany, in this sense, everything was more clear and on schedule. On the other hand, perhaps this is due to the simplicity of the operation itself and my condition. I really liked that we were always accompanied in the clinic. I want to say a special thank you to Marina for her help in choosing a clinic and all the work she did. And also thanks to Gulzara for always helping in everything within the walls of the clinic!
