Why should I prefer Salamtak over other companies?
There are many providers of medical tourism in Germany, and many of them offer their second opinion services for free. Their goal is to attract patients for treatment in Germany. In this case, a commission agreement is then made with the hospital. This is not legally permitted in Germany and also drives treatment costs for patients up by at least 10%. The patient is kept in the dark about all of this. Most companies offer standard solutions and are unable to develop individual solutions due to the complexity of the requested medical treatments. At Salamtak, we use state-of-the-art technology and a data-driven approach to find the most experienced hospitals and doctors for each patient. We do not see ourselves as a service provider for medical tourism. We are experts in finding the most experienced doctors for facial reconstruction after a severe accident, rather than a cosmetic surgery for unhappy adolescents.
