Preparing for your medical trip to Armenia: a planning timeline

A well-planned trip makes the medical part easier. This timeline covers the practical steps; your doctor will give you the medical instructions that apply to you.

6–8 weeks before: consultation and plan

• Have your online consultation and ask every question you have.
• Receive your written treatment plan and estimate.
• Confirm the dates for surgery and the number of days your doctor recommends staying in Armenia.

4–6 weeks before: documents and bookings

• Check your passport is valid. Entry rules depend on your citizenship and can change, so confirm current requirements with official sources before booking.
• Book flights with flexible return dates if possible.
• Book accommodation close to the clinic for the whole recovery period.
• Arrange travel insurance and ask about cover for medical travel.

2 weeks before: health preparation

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on medication, smoking and alcohol before surgery.
• Arrange any tests your doctor asked you to do at home.
• Prepare a list of your current medications and allergies to bring with you.

What to pack

• Loose, comfortable clothing that is easy to put on.
• Copies of your documents, test results and the treatment plan.
• Your regular medications in their original packaging.
• A phone charger and an adapter — Armenia uses type C and F sockets.

In Yerevan

After arrival you will have pre-operative tests and meet your surgeon in person. Plan quiet days after the procedure; light sightseeing is only for later in your stay and only if your doctor agrees.

After you return home

Keep your follow-up schedule and stay in touch with your coordinator. If anything worries you, contact the clinic or your local doctor straight away.
