About Key Facts Profiles

The Key Facts section is the verified, equal-access core of every clinic profile on Treatment Abroad. We publish the same verified information for all providers, no paywalls, no preferential treatment. If it matters to patients, it belongs here.

Our aim is simple: to make medical travel decisions clearer. We value transparency over hype, and accuracy over spin. That's why every clinic's Key Facts are equal, regardless of whether they advertise with us.

What Key Facts Includes

Every clinic follows the same verified framework. If we can't verify a field, we say so. We don't hide gaps. Each profile shows these core metrics, whether the clinic has them or not. We also track additional metrics that appear only when a clinic actively measures and publishes them.

Core metrics shown on every clinic:
Prices published English-speaking staff Patient coordinator Visa support Direct billing

On clinic profiles, each metric is displayed with the clinic’s verified value — Yes or No. We never hide these. Additional metrics appear only where clinics provide and verify the relevant data.

Access & Pricing

  • Prices published: whether treatment prices appear on the clinic's site.
  • Payment options: card, bank transfer, finance, etc.
  • Insurance & direct billing: if the clinic can bill selected insurers directly.

Reviews & Reputation

  • Treatment Abroad rating: average score and review count (if available).
  • Independent platforms: Google, Trustpilot, WhatClinic, Doctify.
  • External links: direct, nofollow links to verified review pages.

Clinical Information

  • Lead clinician: senior doctor responsible for clinical standards.
  • Clinical outcomes: published outcomes or safety indicators.
  • Emergency cover: how urgent situations are managed.
  • Aftercare: support after discharge or return home.
  • Typical waiting times: enquiry to consultation/treatment.

Quality & Credibility

  • Accreditations: quality standards the clinic holds.
  • Memberships: relevant professional associations.
  • Awards: notable recognition of excellence.

Languages & Support

  • Languages: languages available for patient communication.
  • Patient coordinator: named contact for assistance and logistics.
  • Visa support: documents or advice for medical visas.
  • Travel & companion support: flights, transfers, accommodation.

Important: All clinics show the same Key Facts fields. Paid tiers may include promotional content elsewhere, not here.

How We Collect & Verify Information

We manually review every provider's website and contact clinics directly when needed. Each field includes its source, verifier, and date last checked. Profiles show a "Last reviewed" line and, where appropriate, short notes explaining data provenance.

Why This Matters for Trust

On the subject of medical tourism, people require transparent, consistent information in order to make important decisions about their health. Our Key Facts support the principles of Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness by citing sources, showing dates, and marking missing data clearly.

Our Policy on External Reviews

Patients want the full picture. When a clinic has reviews on independent platforms, we display headline stats and direct links to those pages. We never blend third-party scores into Treatment Abroad's own rating.

What Makes Key Facts Different

  • Identical framework for all clinics and tiers.
  • Manually verified data and documented sources.
  • Transparency about missing or unverifiable data.
  • Direct links to independent reviews.
  • Regular audits and ongoing updates.

For Clinics

  1. Publish policies and prices on your own website (we reference and link to them).
  2. Name your lead clinician and keep details up to date.
  3. State aftercare and emergency cover clearly.
  4. Maintain review pages (Google, Trustpilot, WhatClinic, Doctify, etc.).
  5. Notify us of updates, we’ll verify and refresh promptly.
