France is a luxury country, treatment in France is very expensive!
False
Really, many Parisian clinics are pretty expensive, however, their patients understand that they pay for the high level of service, but not for the quality of the medicine. Everybody knows that the quality of French medicine is high throughout the country, even in towns. On average, the prices in France are 20% lower than in Germany. If you want to get high-quality treatment and not overpay for the image of the city, go for treatment to Lyon or another city that is not very popular among tourists.
The French are famous for fashion, food but not for medicine!
False
The Government of France allocates more than 70 billion euros a year for the development of medicine. Every second clinic is equipped with robotic surgery, namely, in France, there is only in the whole Europe room of 3D surgery. And we don’t even speak about a huge number of medical breakthroughs! (the reference to the article of the opening of the French in the field of medicine)
The only language in the clinics of France is French
Almost true
The French are not really good at foreign languages, however, they always do their best to explain something to the foreigner and they’re very worried if the patient doesn’t understand them. Many clinics entrust communication questions to intermediaries who organize the process of maintenance and translation.
It’s very difficult to get treatment in France
Almost true
It is necessary to understand that the French medical system serves primarily the French and to the people with national insurance. In France, you won’t find a commercial approach to medicine! Besides, most of the French don’t speak other languages, for that reason if you sent your request to the French clinic, you’ll receive the answer at best in a month. Especially it concerns the state hospitals with a high level of bureaucracy, which is slowing down all processes of reception of foreign citizens.
France is generally specialized in plastic surgery
False
In spite of the fact that natural results of the French plastic surgeons have proven themselves around the world, France, as well as Austria, is the number one country in cancer treatment. Besides, namely, the French successfully introduce the last innovations in the field of orthopedics, preventive medicine, urology, and reproductive health.
