Step 1: Extensive Pre-Arrival Review

Submit your complete medical history, lab work, and imaging to PlacidWay. Specialists in Azerbaijan will analyze your case to determine if their specific treatments (such as Naftalan therapy or specialized metabolic protocols) are appropriate for your disease stage.

Step 2: Arrival & Deep Diagnostics

Upon arriving at your chosen clinic or sanatorium, you will undergo a comprehensive physical examination and fresh diagnostic testing. This establishes a baseline to monitor your progress over the coming weeks.

Step 3: The Intensive Treatment Phase

This is the core of your stay, typically lasting 14 to 21 days. Whether receiving daily Naftalan baths, undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, or adjusting to new diabetes pharmacology, you will be under constant medical supervision.

Step 4: Integration & Lifestyle Adaptation

As your acute symptoms are managed, the focus shifts to education. Specialists, nutritionists, and physical therapists will teach you how to manage your specific triggers, diet, and mobility to prevent future disease flare-ups.

Step 5: Discharge and Long-Term Monitoring

You will return home with a detailed, translated medical report and a long-term care plan. The medical team in Azerbaijan will schedule periodic telemedicine follow-ups to monitor your condition and adjust medications if necessary.

"I suffered from severe plaque psoriasis for a decade and tried every biologic injection available in the UK with minimal success. The 15-day Naftalan therapy program in Azerbaijan was life-changing. By the time I flew home, my skin was 90% clear, and the accompanying joint pain had completely vanished. The medical staff were attentive and highly specialized."

"My diabetes was spiraling out of control, and my local doctors just kept increasing my insulin. I traveled to a specialized clinic in Baku where they conducted a complete metabolic overhaul. Over two weeks, the endocrinology team adjusted my diet, integrated new monitoring tech, and restabilized my system. I feel energetic again, and the cost was unbelievably reasonable."
