Definition of International Patients Department (IPD):
Medical tourism is a journey that aims to treat in another country. Appropriate medical tariffs, the presence of professional medical experts, a rich original culture and hospitality, the provision of high quality medical and nursing and advanced medical infrastructure in Iran toward other neighbor countries, along with the lack of similar therapeutic procedures, the cost, the lack of advanced therapeutic technologies in the source country has led to a large number of patients who receive medical health care in Iran. This has led Iran to be recognized as one of the medical tourism hubs in the region. In this regard, Al-Zahra hospital of Isfahan city, Iran, receives a certification of international patients' permission according to the assessment of the Ministry of health and medical sciences by providing appropriate healthcare services in a completely modern environment, based on more than thirty years of experience.
