MEDICAL/HEALTH SERVICES

America is a leading manufacturer of medical equipment. Over the years, our personnel have established relations with many clinics, hospitals, and laboratories. As a result, we now are able to supply state-of-the-art and used medical and laboratory equipment from such companies as GE, Philips, Siemens, Toshiba, Bennett, Konica, Kodak, 3M, Cardioline, IMACOM, and others.

Some of the finest hospitals in the world are located in America, among them the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Medical College of Virginia. But you cannot just walk in and say, "Here I am! Treat me!" You need to make sure that the hospital can treat your ill-ness, and then wade through the necessary admissions, medical, and insurance paperwork.

Our personnel will take care of these matters and make your hospital stay as pleasant as possible. We will deal with the little things that you might not think of: type of room, special diets, visits of family members and friends, and ensure that there are no misunderstandings due to linguistic or cultural barriers.

IMPORTING AND EXPORTING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

There is a booming business in exporting medical equipment overseas. The medical needs of many countries continue to expand. Some countries are experiencing rapid population growth, while others are being forced to deal with aging populations. Many local health professionals admit that their current medical facilities and equipment are overwhelmed by population growth, expansion to previously underserved or unserved areas, or the need to treat wounded combatants and refugees in ever-increasing numbers.

The quickest way to solve such shortages is to import what is needed. We offer the following services:

• Analyzing the relevant regulations and advising you of the best course to follow.
• Helping you locate and purchase the desired equipment.
• Acquiring the necessary import and export forms and guiding you through the process.
• Determining the equipment's delivery, shipping, and arrival dates.
• Providing insurance information, shipping schedules, and reports on their reliability and ability to meet contract terms.
• Meeting with the seller to determine the most appropriate payment schedule.
• Advising you on all customs-related rules and regulations, quotas, taxes, and duties.

ARRANGING YOUR HOSPITAL STAY

We will provide the following services:

• Locate the hospital that is most suitable for treating your illness. We will contact the best doctor, ascertain availability, and discuss your case.
• Translate all medical documents to ensure an accurate and complete understanding of your condition.
• Determine all relevant fees and provide you with a cost estimate.
• Inform you of what type of visa you should request.
