The local currency varies depending on the destination country you’re traveling to for your medical procedure. For example, if you’re visiting Hungary, the local currency is the Hungarian Forint (HUF), while in Israel, it’s the new Israeli Shekel (NIS).
Regarding currency exchange services:
At the Airport: Most international airports have currency exchange counters where you can convert your money to the local currency upon arrival or departure.
Banks and Financial Institutions: Almost every city or town in our destination countries has banks or financial institutions where currency exchange services are offered at competitive rates.
Currency Exchange Bureaus: These are dedicated outlets for exchanging money and are frequently found in popular tourist areas, shopping malls, and near major hospitals catering to international patients.
Hotel Services: Many hotels, especially those catering to international travelers, offer currency exchange services for their guests. However, rates might be slightly less favorable compared to banks or dedicated exchange bureaus.
ATMs: Modern ATMs, available widely across our destination cities, allow for withdrawals in the local currency. It’s essential, however, to check with your bank about international transaction fees.
Digital and Mobile Payments: Many of our partnered medical institutions accept major credit cards and digital payment methods, providing an added convenience for international patients.
Company Assistance: Our company can guide you to the most reliable and nearest currency exchange service points in the area, ensuring you always have access to local currency when needed.
We advise patients to inform their banks about their travel plans to avoid any unexpected transaction holds and to inquire about exchange rates and fees associated with international transactions. Always keep some local currency on hand for small purchases or places that might not accept cards. If you have further questions or concerns about currency and payments, please reach out to our patient support service.
