But before you pack your bags, it’s important to plan properly. This guide will help you understand exactly how to prepare for your medical trip to iran —including what documents you need, how to handle travel arrangements, and tips for smooth recovery.
1. Gather the Right Documents
Proper documentation is essential for a safe and stress-free experience. Make sure you have the following:
-
Passport (valid for at least 6 months)
-
Visa (check if your country qualifies for visa-free entry or e-visa for iran)
-
Medical records and reports (lab results, diagnosis, scans, prescriptions)
-
Referral letter (if needed)
-
Doctor appointment confirmation from the clinic or hospital or medical facilitator
-
Travel insurance (with coverage for medical travel is recommended)
Tip: Keep both digital and printed copies of your documents.
2. Book Travel & Accommodation Early
Once your medical appointment is confirmed, book your:
-
Flight tickets (consider direct flights if you’re having surgery)
-
Accommodation near the hospital or clinic
-
Airport transfers or local transport (we offer free pickup)
Iran medical tours offers medical travel packages that include treatment, hotel stay, and transport—all in one.
3. Choose a Verified Clinic and Top Doctor
Choosing the right doctor or clinic is the most important part of your trip.
-
Look for top-rated clinics in tehran, shiraz, or mashad
-
Book only with licensed, experienced doctors
-
Check online reviews and success stories
-
Confirm what’s included in the treatment plan

4. Prepare for Pre-Treatment Communication
Before your trip, make sure you’ve spoken with your doctor or clinic team about:
-
Treatment procedure details
-
Costs and payment methods
-
Duration of stay required
-
Pre-treatment instructions (e.g., fasting, stopping medication)
Good communication will help you feel confident and ready.
5. Plan for Recovery Time
Recovery is just as important as the procedure. If a hospital stay is not needed, you may return to the hotel. We will routinely check up on our patients while they are staying in the hotel. A patient coordinator will also come by every other day to cater to you with your requirements. Moreover, our team will continue keeping in touch with the hospital on your behalf to update the medical staff on your condition.
Here’s how to prepare:
-
Take time off work and avoid travel stress
-
Book a hotel with quiet surroundings
-
Follow your doctor’s aftercare advice strictly
-
Avoid heavy physical activity and stress
-
Keep in touch with your clinic after you return home
Many top medical centers in iran offer follow-up support through WhatsApp or email.
Iran medical tours services include but are not limited to taking care of you while you are in the hospital. If a hospital stay is required after your surgery, we will provide you with a patient coordinator to be with you right after the surgery until you are discharged from the hospital. In addition to assigning someone to be by your side, our team will stay in touch with the hospital to ensure your recovery is going well.
Iranian hospitals are fully equipped with high-tech facilities for medical tourism. In many Iranian hospitals, you will be admitted to the International Patients Department (IPD). we collaborates with such hospitals and based on where your surgery might take place, you might be able to benefit from these facilities during the recovery.
