What do I need to pack for the trip?
Immediately after contacting us you will receive information about documents we will need you to fill. We will need your medical data. Along with these documents we will also need a copy of your health insurance card, provided you are an EU citizen.
Please do not forget to send us the basic information about you and your dialysis already in the request.
We usually need your medical data at least 4 weeks before your stay. The medical report form should be filled out by your personal physician at your dialysis center.
In the event that any changes occur in your medical condition between the time you submit this form and your arrival, you must update the medical report at your dialysis center and bring this copy with you, or possibly have it sent to the contact address. We require this to ensure the maximum safety of all patients.
What kind of payment is accepted at dialysis centers?
In the event that you are an EU citizen and furnish us with an EHIC card (European Health Insurance Card), then you will not pay anything for your dialysis treatment. Otherwise, it is necessary to pay for dialysis treatment in cash at the dialysis center. We will always notify you in advance of the price for treatment.

Experiences of patients
I have a brother in Slovakia near Zvolen and we wanted to spend a week there during the summer. Thanks to holiday dialysis, we ended staying for the whole month, and we’ve already got plans to come back next year. For me, it’s like a vacation by the sea, but maybe even better.
