We very much thanks to Professor Dr
We are writing to give the feedback and general progress for our daughter Rahel Ladislaus Msasa
1.The medical treatment received was very good and meets our budget given
2.We very much thanks to Professor Dr.Antonio Russi and his team for the very good medical administration given as such service is not available in Tanzania
As now Rachel has started resuming her academic development since February 2019 which almost 3-4 months since we received service from Centro Medico Teknon under Dr.Antonio Russi.
Dosages Administration:- the good progress noted few days from 7th February 2019 after reaching 100mg usage which is in continuation and we are asking from the Doctor when should we stop and provide us with administration schedules
We also ask if there is need for medical recheck up by the Professor Dr. Antonio Russi as we were not given any information and ask for fully medical report which he promised will be ready in two months after translation from Spanish to English Language.
We also thanks to Madam Ekaterina Votinova whom we were advised to contact her when in need for buying medicine from Spain Pharmacies. She has provided us with the good cooperation when we needed to buy some medicine from Spain and delivery to Tanzania. Please note this type of medicine are not available in Tanzania Pharmacies.
We therefore strongly recommend for other patients with EPILEPSY problem to contact The Centro Medico Teknon and very thanks to Bookimed.com and yourself Dr.Kamran for good consultants you given us
Very much thanks
From The Family

As a doctor I recommend bookimed
I introduced many patients to other medical tourism companies but most of them were not honest such as
Bookinghealth.com they did fraud with our patients so finally I found an excellent company by the name of bookimed.com Iam the client
Of bookimed.com since 5 years and all of my patients are satisfied from its staffs and services so as a doctor I recommend bookimed.com to choose as a right a guaranteed company in the term of your health ….
Best wishes
