Lung and breathing care in Tabriz, planned before you travel.
If you live outside Iran, you can send your scans, reports and medicine list to the support line before you travel, so the team knows your situation and what to expect.
Before you travel
Please gather what you have. Clear copies are fine to start with.
- Chest imaging reports (X-ray, CT) and, if you have them, the images themselves on disc or as video/image files
- Breathing test (spirometry) results, and any earlier lung function or sleep study reports
- Your medication list: inhalers, tablets and oxygen or CPAP settings you use now, and those you took before, with the dates and why they were changed or stopped
- Earlier diagnoses, reports from previous specialists, and any hospital discharge notes
- Your allergies, smoking history and other long-term conditions
Ask the international support line how to send these. Call: +989302272111

In an emergency while you are in Iran, call 115, Iran's emergency number. It is different from the international support line above.

Practical questions
Can a diagnosis be made from my records alone?
Not usually. A review of your records helps the doctor understand your situation and say what is likely to be needed, but a diagnosis and treatment plan are made after an examination.
Should I stop or change my medicines or oxygen before I travel?
No. Keep using your inhalers, tablets and oxygen as prescribed, and do not stop or change any of them, especially oral steroids, without your own doctor. Bring the list with you. If you use oxygen, ask your doctor and your airline about travelling with it.
Is it safe for me to fly?
That depends on your lungs and is a question for your own doctor before you book. Do not travel if you are short of breath at rest or feel worse than usual.
How long would I need to stay in Tabriz?
It depends on what tests and visits you need. The doctor will give an estimate once your records have been reviewed.
Can a companion come with me?
Companions are welcome. The support team can tell you what help is available.
How do I pay?
Payment details are explained with your plan, before you decide to travel.
What number do I call in an emergency?
115 is Iran's emergency number. It works only while you are in Iran. From abroad, use your local emergency number.
Every patient's treatment plan is different; ask your doctor about your own situation.
