10 tips on how to choose a medical center

Human health is not in the heart, not in the kidneys, not in the roots, not in the foliage or the back. Of course, there are no words, it's good for a person if he has all this, too, great, like bulls. But the very essence of purely human health is when he is irresistibly drawn to say something good to another person, as if it were even a law: since I should be good for everyone! Telemedicine is starting to gain popularity today, more on this at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/23/upshot/pandemic-telemedicine-emergency-care.html?searchResultPosition=1
 
Of course, everyone wants to be healthy and beautiful, but all the same,  even the best car must undergo "prophylaxis" and go to a service station, so sooner or later, we still resort to the services of doctors. And, if we continue the comparison with cars, then, in the matter of health, it is also better to undergo “prevention” than wait for something to “knock” or break down.Despite the existence of supposedly free medicine, we increasingly resort to the services of paid medical specialists, not because we have "extra" money, but because after all, when you pay, you can demand results. 
 
Our district polyclinics are overwhelmed and lack specialists. Surely, many have found themselves in such a situation: they tell you that you need to undergo some kind of examination, or a whole medical examination, but the trouble is: the queues at the clinic are huge, and specialist doctors work at different reception hours. But there is an opportunity to reduce the wait, though not for free. On the other hand, even in our native district polyclinic, we are paying more and more money.It means, after all, private medicine. So how do you choose a medical centre near me?
 
The choice of a private medical clinic is hampered primarily by the fact that there is no state register that would clearly define the level of a particular clinic. In addition, there are many “one-day” offices, offering relatively low prices and “quick results.” Or, medical offices loudly calling themselves clinics, with only one narrow-profile doctor. Therefore, when choosing a medical center, experts advise paying attention, first of all, to the following points:
 
1) Availability of a license from the Ministry of Health. Private medical organizations post licenses for all types of services provided on information boards. The lack of a license or an expired license is the first reason to doubt the reliability of a medical facility.
2) Clinical experience. The longer a medical facility operates, the less the patient runs the risk of being cheated. In addition, a good argument in favor of choosing a particular clinic is the presence of diplomas and certificates confirming the quality of the provision of services and especially the level of qualifications of medical workers.
3) Availability of its own diagnostic equipment. A medical institution that does not invest in the purchase of medical equipment is almost always "one-day." Clinics that have only a procedure room instead of laboratories, sending material to a specialized center or the nearest polyclinic, naturally include their margin in the cost of the analyzes received.
4) Laboratory. Continuing to paragraph 3, it should be noted that in the right clinics l aboratoriya annually participates in the external evaluation of the quality of laboratory tests.
5) Provision of questionable services. If the clinic offers any dubious services like "computer" diagnostics or treatment of "karma," it is worth thinking once again.
6) Location. Do not chase after being closer to your home or office, do not be lazy to walk or drive for your health! And remember, medical institutions renting premises in expensive and prestigious places accordingly invest this in the price, so that respectability in the matter of health is not the main thing, the main thing is the result.
7) First consultation. At the first consultation, the doctor will state his opinion as a specialist, and you will give your opinion about the clinic.
8) Price.  Choose, albeit more expensive, where you can be offered an individual approach.
9) Versatility. If the medical center provides multidisciplina you could be diagnosed in several directions at once in one clinic, which will once again emphasize the seriousness of the medical institution.
10) Branches. The presence of branches and departments in other cities is also a quality plus for a private medical institution. This speaks about the normal financial base of the institution, which means high-quality selection of doctors and personnel.Well, otherwise, good treatment. Better yet, good health and be happy!
