Question: Is there a hospital or medical facility near Surok, Russia. Thanks
Answer:
There are no general hospitals in Surok, Russia.
The closest hospitals are located in Yoshkar-Ola,
the Capital city of the Republic
of Mari El, which is
roughly 15 miles (20 kilometers) north of Surok on highway P-175. Pacific
Prime cannot attest to the quality of the medical facilities in Yoshkar-Ola, and advises
that you obtain a quality international health insurance policy with an
emergency evacuation benefit prior to visiting the area.
Hospitals located in Yoshkar-Ola include:
Yoshkar-Ola city hospital
Ioshkar Ola, Charles Libknekhta street, house 55
Telephone: 8362 64-71-19
Medicosanitary part No. 1 of Ioshkar Ola
Ioshkar Ola, street Water, house 83
Telephone: 8362 41-18-51, 41-57-77
Please be advised that these medical facilities may not be considered Centers
of Medical Excellence.
Many countries around the world will have limited medical facilities which may
not be up to the standards of care expected by many expatriates. In some cases
the majority of these sub-standard medical facilities will only be able to
provide immediate temporary emergency treatment. In these situations it may be
necessary to evacuate the patient to a medical facility more suited to
providing a higher standard of treatment.
As a result of this disparity in healthcare it is necessary to obtain a
quality health insurance plan with an emergency evacuation benefit. In the event that there are no
quality medical facilities available to provide the treatment needed by a
policyholder, an emergency evacuation benefit will typically ensure that you
are transported to the nearest center of medical excellence, and may in some
cases repatriate the policyholder back to their home country to ensure that
treatment is of the highest standard possible.
If you are planning a trip overseas it is important to consider what standard
of treatment will be available in the countries you are planning to visit. The
cost of ambulances, helicopters, flights, and in-transit care during an
emergency can place a severe burden on an individual’s finances. To ensure
that you have the protection which you deserve, or to receive more information
