About the facilities listed here
This guide lists only facilities that state they offer English support in official facility information or public medical directories. Other facilities may also accept international patients. Not being listed does not mean a facility refuses your visit; contact it directly about language support and acceptance.
English support can mean direct consultations, interpretation, or support whose method still needs confirmation. Availability may depend on staff, department and date.
