When we have direct contact with the hospital, the process becomes easier for the family

Today, Anna Kuzmina met with Patricia Montealegre, Director of the International Department at SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital. For MCI, meetings like this are more than just professional networking. They help us establish direct working relationships that enable us to address our patients’ needs more quickly and efficiently.

SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital treats complex and rare pediatric conditions, including childhood cancers. Each case is reviewed individually: doctors assess the child’s medical history, involve specialists from different fields when necessary, and only then recommend a treatment strategy and provide an estimate of the treatment costs.

International families receive dedicated support, including assistance with visa invitation documents and accommodation arrangements. One parent can stay with the child around the clock during hospitalization, with accommodation and meals included in the cost of treatment.

Why should you contact SJD through MCI?

We work directly with the hospital’s International Department and management, allowing us to submit cases for review promptly and involve the appropriate specialists for a medical second opinion. Families do not have to translate medical records themselves or manage complicated correspondence in another language. We take care of this for them.

If you need to travel to Spain, we will meet you upon arrival, help with organizational matters, and support you throughout the treatment process.

There is another important point: the cost of medical services when accessing SJD through MCI is no higher than when contacting the hospital directly. At the same time, the family also benefits from our assistance and ongoing support.

This is why we personally meet with hospitals and build direct working relationships with their teams. We want our patients to receive more than just the address of a hospital abroad. We provide a clear medical pathway and a team that already knows who to contact and what steps to take next.

If your child needs a medical second opinion or you are considering treatment in Spain, contact us. We will review your case and help you take the first step without unnecessary complications.
