The Dead Sea, named for its salty waters that make it impossible for fish and plants to live in it, is a hypersaline lake located about 420 meters below sea level. It is the lowest point on the planet. The climate of the Dead Sea is unique and has therapeutic effects known to doctors worldwide.

Due to the relatively high oxygen content in the air, high concentration of minerals in the sea, and nutrient-rich black mud, the Dead Sea is one of the best destinations for climate therapy. Considering the unique characteristics of the climate, it is warm year-round, and tanning at the Dead Sea is healthier due to reduced ultraviolet radiation.

Our recommendations
Before heading for treatment at the Dead Sea, it is recommended to consult a doctor to check which medications can be taken in conjunction with Dead Sea Spa treatment. Most doctors at the Dead Sea will advise you to limit the number of medications you take to the essentials. For example, you should avoid using corticosteroid creams and stop using them at least four weeks before treatment, as reactions with the salty water may occur.
Want a preliminary video consultation?
You have the opportunity to receive necessary recommendations in advance and discuss the upcoming therapeutic process directly with your treating physician. You can order a remote video consultation – usually via Skype – during which the doctor introduces you to all the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures you will undergo, explains the specifics of each stage of the therapeutic process, discusses the advantages of the chosen methods, and then answers all your questions.

Preparation for the flight
Immediately after the decision to travel for treatment is made, the international patient department begins to prepare for it. First of all, a personal medical consultant is assigned to you, who will accompany you to all medical procedures, explaining their essence if necessary, as well as to consultations with the treating physician and other specialists, acting as a translator and ensuring communication with the clinic staff. In addition, he will be your personal assistant throughout your stay in Israel, helping to resolve any arising questions and situations – whether they are domestic, administrative, or organizational.
What the medical coordinator does
The work of the medical coordinator begins even before your arrival. After receiving your individual therapeutic program from the treating physician, he organizes your stay in Israel, trying to optimize it and make it as convenient as possible for you. Following the doctor's instructions, he schedules you for the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as consultations with individual specialists. After that, the therapeutic plan becomes more concrete – specific dates and times are assigned to each stage, which are agreed upon with you in advance.
Then the coordinator finds you optimal flight options in terms of price and time and books plane tickets for the previously approved dates. At the same time, he clarifies your preferences regarding accommodation and reserves a hotel room or rents an apartment for the agreed period. He is also prepared to prepare documents for obtaining a visa if necessary.
