QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CLINIC
Frequently asked about Liv Hospital Ulus
Whom do I pay — the clinic or BergemHealth? How is the invoice structured?
Direct invoice from the clinic, at the clinic’s own prices. BergemHealth’s services are free for you: our fee is paid by the partner hospital under our partnership agreement and does not depend on the treatment you choose. The clinic contract is signed directly with the hospital.
What rooms are available for international patients?

Can I bring a companion?
Yes. The companion can stay in the room (sofa-bed in a standard room, separate room in a Suite) or in one of the nearby hotels.
What about food — is there halal / kosher / vegetarian?
Standard menu is halal (whole clinic). Vegetarian and low-salt available on request. Kosher — by special order through the clinic kitchen 24 hours in advance.
Does the clinic admit children and adolescents?
Adolescents 16+ are admitted by adult specialists per indication. For younger children, we refer to a specialised paediatric clinic.
Does the clinic have Russian-speaking staff?
The international department includes Russian-speaking staff. During visits and rounds, translation is provided by the BergemHealth coordinator.
