Hospitals in Iran: Medipars Partner Hospitals for Foreign Patients

Our Partner Hospitals in Iran

Below is the list of hospitals in Iran where Medipars arranges treatment for patients from abroad. Iran has large hospitals in cities such as Shiraz, Mashhad and Isfahan, but with us you are treated at one of our partners.

Two of the partners, Noor and Negah, are eye hospitals, so the hospital and specialist we propose depend on your treatment. Each name links to the hospital's own page, where you can read about its departments:

• Farhikhtegan Hospital
• Hasheminejad Hospital
• Moheb Mehr Hospital
• Nikan Hospital
• Shahid Labbafi Nejad Hospital
• Treata Hospital
• Noor Eye Hospital
• Negah Eye Hospital

Which Is the Best Hospital in Tehran, Iran, for Your Treatment?

No single hospital in Iran, whether in Tehran or another city, is the right one for every patient. The right hospital for you is one whose team is strong in your treatment and does it often. That is why we match the hospital to your procedure, not to a general ranking.

Our treatment pages explain how each procedure works. You can read about LASIK eye surgery, kidney transplant, liver transplant and open heart surgery in Iran.

A specialist in your field carries out the treatment, working with the hospital's own team of nurses, anesthetists and other staff. You can read about specialists on our doctors in Iran page.

A hospital that suits your treatment has:

• a specialist department for your treatment, such as an eye, heart, transplant or orthopedic unit
• a team that performs your procedure regularly, not occasionally
• an international patient department (IPD), the office many large hospitals in Iran run to handle admission, paperwork and interpreters for patients from abroad
• the inpatient beds or intensive care your treatment may need, such as an intensive care unit after heart surgery

What Hospital Treatment in Iran Costs and What Sets the Price

Your treatment price is set in a personal quote for your case, and once given, it stays fixed unless something exceptional happens. Examples include a canceled flight, or a longer stay because an illness was not treated in the planned time. Other exceptional events may also apply.

The treatment and the complexity of your case are the main factors in the price. A complex operation needs more operating room time, more staff and more supplies than a short procedure. The hospital and the type of room matter too, since a private room usually costs more than a shared one.

Your price also depends on the number of nights, both in hospital and in the hotel while you recover. Tests and medicines vary as well, from the checks before treatment to the medicines you take home. The price table covers the trip items, and your quote gives the exact amounts.

In medical travel to Iran, a common arrangement is a deposit to hold your dates, with the rest paid after you arrive. To get your own figures, send us your enquiry through the Make An Enquiry form or WhatsApp. When your quote arrives, confirm these points with us before you book:

• whether your records are reviewed, or an assessment is made, before you travel, and where that happens
• which hospital and specialist are proposed, and how you can check the specialist's qualifications
• when the interpreter will be with you at the hospital
• exactly what the quote covers: the treatment, nights in hospital, the room, tests and medicines
• how and when you pay, and in which currency
• the terms if your plans change for a reason other than the exceptional events above

What Medipars Arranges, From First Message to Discharge

With Medipars, you deal with a single coordinator instead of booking each part of the trip yourself. We arrange your invitation letter and visa, airport transfers, an interpreter and your hotel. International flights are yours to buy, so you choose the airline and the departure city.

In a large Tehran hospital, as in big hospitals across Iran, the international patient department usually handles admission and registration for foreign patients. Your package includes an interpreter to help you with the language during your treatment trip. When you are discharged, the hospital usually gives you your medical reports and a discharge summary to take home.

How long you stay in Iran depends mainly on the treatment. An eye procedure such as LASIK means a much shorter trip than heart surgery or a transplant. Your personal plan gives the expected length of your stay, so you can book your flights with it in hand.

A typical trip runs like this:

• Send your enquiry with your medical reports and any recent scans.
• Receive your personal plan and quote, then agree on dates that suit you.
• Get your invitation letter, followed by your visa.
• Fly to Iran, where we meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel.
• Go to the hospital for admission and the checks before your treatment.
• Have your treatment and stay in hospital for as long as your doctor advises.
• Recover at the hotel, with check-ups if your doctor asks for them.
• Fly home once your doctor confirms you are fit to travel.

After Hospital: Follow-Up at Home, Complications and Refunds

Follow-up is free until 1 week after you return to your home country. The period starts when you get home, not on the day of your treatment. A Medipars coordinator handles your follow-up over WhatsApp.

After the free period, you can still consult the doctor through Medipars. For check-ups in person, take your discharge summary and reports to your own doctor at home.

If a complication needs treatment while you are still in Iran, it is handled through Medipars. After you return home, it is treated in your home country. In both cases, the extra treatment costs are charged to you.

Part of the package is refunded if you turn out to be unsuitable for the treatment. The treatment fee is taken off, and every cost that can still be refunded is returned to you. When your plans change for another reason, money already paid to others, such as the visa fee, usually cannot be recovered.

How Does Iran Compare with Turkey, India, the UAE and Germany?

For the same treatment, Iran usually costs less than Germany or the UAE, while Turkey and India are the closer comparisons on price. What also differs from country to country is what the price covers, how you travel there and who interprets for you.

Iran combines that lower price with long-established specialist hospitals. With us, the visa and the rest of your stay in Iran are arranged together with your treatment. A hospital quote in Germany or the UAE often covers the treatment alone and leaves the rest of the trip to you.

The trade-offs are the journey and aftercare at home. There, your own doctor does any in-person check-ups, while our follow-up is remote and free until 1 week after your return. If you accept those trade-offs, Iran is a strong choice over Germany or the UAE for experienced specialists at a lower price.

Hospital Care in Iran

Iran has long-established specialist hospitals and experienced specialists in the main fields, including eye care, heart surgery and organ transplants. Standards still differ from one hospital to another, which is why we choose the hospital by your treatment rather than by its name. If specialist experience is what matters to you, this is where Iran is strong.

Questions About Hospital Treatment in Iran

Which hospitals in Iran accept international patients?

Many large hospitals in Iran accept patients from abroad through an international patient department. Through Medipars, you are treated at one of our partner hospitals, such as Farhikhtegan Hospital, Nikan Hospital or Noor Eye Hospital. Each of them has its own page on our site.

What is the best hospital in Tehran?

There is no single answer, because a hospital that is strong in eye surgery may not be the right place for heart surgery. Tell us your treatment, and we propose a partner hospital on that basis.

Which are the best cardiology hospitals in Iran?

We do not rank heart hospitals, since the right one depends on your procedure. For heart surgery, a good fit has a strong cardiac department, a team that does your operation often and intensive care on site.

Which hospitals in Iran are best for orthopedic surgery?

The answer depends on the operation, such as a knee or hip replacement or spine surgery. Look for an orthopedic department whose team does that operation often and can support your rehabilitation afterward. Name the operation in your enquiry, and we will tell you whether and where we can arrange it.

Can Medipars arrange my treatment at Tehran Clinic Hospital or another hospital I know?

We arrange your admission at one of our partner hospitals, as part of a trip we coordinate for you. Tehran Clinic Hospital and Gandhi Hospital are not among our partners. If you had one of them in mind, tell us your treatment and we will say whether a partner hospital can provide it.

How good is medical care in Iran?

Iran has many experienced specialists, though standards differ from one hospital to the next. The more useful question is how good a particular hospital is at the treatment you need.

Is a clinic or a hospital better for my treatment?

A hospital is the right setting for surgery that needs an overnight stay or intensive care, such as heart surgery or a transplant. A short procedure such as LASIK is often done in a specialist eye clinic or an eye hospital's day unit, with no overnight stay.
