Firstly, it is because of cheaper labour force in Lithuania as hourly wage in Lithuania is usually much lower than it would be in Scandinavian countries, Great Britain, Germany, etc. Secondly, the professional liability insurance is much cheaper here in Lithuania thus healthcare does not have to pay so much for insurance companies as it is usual in well developed countries.

You do not have to pay anything until you meet your surgeon personally. During your first visit in the clinic, you and your physician both decide on the procedures you need, the terms of payment, and set the total costs according to your case.
How much is the first on-line consultation?
It is absolutely free of charge. The only thing you have to do is to contact us and describe your case and your expectations.
