What this specialty covers.

A second medical opinion means having a file re-examined by another professional in order to better understand a diagnosis, a proposed treatment or the options available. It can also direct the patient towards the specialty suited to their situation.

Asking for a second opinion is not a vote of no confidence: it is normal medical practice, and all the more legitimate when the proposed operation is major or irreversible. We pass your file to a specialist in the relevant discipline, who gives a written, reasoned opinion. What you do next is yours to decide, in Morocco or elsewhere.

Reasons for referral

Your situation is not on this list? It is not exhaustive: send your file and a doctor will read it.

What the process involves

collecting and ordering the documents in the file
review of reports and laboratory results
review of imaging by a radiologist where necessary
review of pathology slides where indicated
written opinion from a specialist in the relevant discipline
presentation to a multidisciplinary team meeting where the case warrants it
remote interview or consultation on site
referral to the appropriate specialty

What we organise around the medical care.

You take only what you need: nothing is imposed and nothing is sold as a package.

Medical appointments

Consultations, tests and surgery placed in an order that makes sense, with no day lost between two appointments.

Visa support

Letter of medical care and supporting documents, for the nationalities that require them.

Accommodation and transfers

A place to stay near the facility, airport pick-up and travel during your stay.

Travelling companion

We plan for them from the start: accommodation, transfers and presence at consultations.

What patients ask us.

Not always. Many files can be reviewed on the documents alone: reports, imaging, results. Travelling becomes useful when a clinical examination or a further test is missing. We tell you after the first reading.

Consultation and hospital discharge reports, laboratory results, imaging reports and, if possible, the images themselves, the pathology report and a list of your medication. Send what you have: we will tell you what is missing.

The opinion is given in writing, with the reasoning behind it. A difference of view does not cancel the first opinion: it opens a discussion you can take back to your own doctor. In complex cases the file can be presented to a multidisciplinary meeting.

No, deliberately so. You can take the opinion home and use it there. If you choose to be treated in Morocco, the file is already complete and the arrangements follow on.

Have your file read before you decide.

A doctor reviews it and tells you what is possible, what is not and what it involves. With no commitment on your part.
