The treatment of cancer abroad, infertility, heart defects, and diseases of the central nervous system are particularly popular.
The most popular countries for medical tourism are Austria, Germany, Switzerland, USA and Israel. Israel for Russians a special advantage - for staying in the country up to 90 days, the visa is not required, only passport.
