Three ways to use this page

01

Locate the appointment

Use the exact care address rather than the city name alone when planning each journey.

02

Verify the care team

Check the named professional, institution and service through the relevant official channels.

03

Prepare continuity

Agree the documents, contacts and follow-up arrangements needed before and after the stay.

Overview

ONTT distinguishes Hammamet’s resort setting and its airport access. This geographical information helps plan a stay, but does not establish a clinic’s authorisation or a treatment indication. Ask whether the care itself is in Hammamet, Nabeul or another city, and build the medical schedule around that confirmed location.

Key points

From arrival to the care entrance

ONTT identifies Tunis-Carthage and Enfidha-Hammamet as airport access options. Confirm which one you will use and whether the transfer ends at the hotel or the care site. Keep the journey for each consultation and review explicit in the plan.

Confirm the appointment and admission

For a package based in Hammamet, request separate confirmation of the medical institution, the accommodation provider and the transfer operator. Ask the clinician how follow-up and any extra stay would be organised if the planned travel dates change.

Organise continuity after departure

Before discharge, ask for the clinical summary, prescriptions, available results and any implant or device identification. Name a contact for pending results and agree how records will reach the clinician who continues care at home. Check which translations are needed and keep copies accessible during travel.

Patient journey

  1. Confirm the appointment and admission

    For a package based in Hammamet, request separate confirmation of the medical institution, the accommodation provider and the transfer operator. Ask the clinician how follow-up and any extra stay would be organised if the planned travel dates change.

  2. Identify the responsible clinician

    Use the Tunisian medical council’s official services to check the named doctor and contact the relevant council if information is unclear. Ask the clinic for its operating authorisation and verify the competent health authority. Confirm the specialty, treatment site and responsible team independently of promotional material.

  3. Language and informed discussions

    Confirm the language used by the actual team for consultation, consent, discharge documents and follow-up. Ask who arranges interpreting and translations, and who pays. Allow time to discuss the proposal, alternatives and risks in words you understand before making a decision.

  4. From arrival to the care entrance

    ONTT identifies Tunis-Carthage and Enfidha-Hammamet as airport access options. Confirm which one you will use and whether the transfer ends at the hotel or the care site. Keep the journey for each consultation and review explicit in the plan.

  5. Organise continuity after departure

    Agree the next review, who can answer questions after departure and how to request additional records. Discuss return-travel timing with the treating team. Use only the secure channel agreed with your clinicians for medical documents; the public Elysium contact form is not a medical-record service.

Practical information

From arrival to the care entrance

  • ONTT identifies Tunis-Carthage and Enfidha-Hammamet as airport access options. Confirm which one you will use and whether the transfer ends at the hotel or the care site. Keep the journey for each consultation and review explicit in the plan.
  • Plan each connection using the confirmed care address, including the last part from the stop to the entrance. Ask the transport operator about assistance and accessibility, and discuss the need for a companion and fitness to travel with the treating team. A transport route does not determine a recovery period.

Confirm the appointment and admission

  • For a package based in Hammamet, request separate confirmation of the medical institution, the accommodation provider and the transfer operator. Ask the clinician how follow-up and any extra stay would be organised if the planned travel dates change.
  • Before booking travel, obtain written confirmation of the clinician, site, schedule, required records and secure contact channel. Ask for an itemised quotation and a separate insurance decision covering the proposed care. Clarify deposits, exclusions, cancellation terms, additional care and follow-up costs with the responsible organisations.

Language and informed discussions

  • For your appointment in Tunisia, ask for written confirmation of the consultation language and of any interpreting service. An international booking service does not establish which languages the clinician or on-call team uses.
  • Confirm the language used by the actual team for consultation, consent, discharge documents and follow-up. Ask who arranges interpreting and translations, and who pays. Allow time to discuss the proposal, alternatives and risks in words you understand before making a decision.

Identify the responsible clinician

  • Use the Tunisian medical council’s official services to check the named doctor and contact the relevant council if information is unclear. Ask the clinic for its operating authorisation and verify the competent health authority. Confirm the specialty, treatment site and responsible team independently of promotional material.
  • Match the full professional name, specialty and practice location with your appointment. Ask who will assess you, carry out the procedure and provide follow-up if several clinicians are involved. Registration does not establish suitability for a particular treatment or guarantee an individual result.

Check the exact care establishment

  • For care in Tunisia, establish the clinician’s identity, the exact clinic and the organisation responsible for each service. A package combining treatment and travel can involve several parties. Ask which one handles admission, clinical decisions, invoices and follow-up after departure.
  • Check the legal entity, authorised activities and exact treatment site, rather than relying on a group or brand name. Ask the institution to clarify any discrepancy. A hospital cited as a source is a reference for preparation, not an Elysium recommendation or a published provider profile.

Organise continuity after departure

  • Before discharge, ask for the clinical summary, prescriptions, available results and any implant or device identification. Name a contact for pending results and agree how records will reach the clinician who continues care at home. Check which translations are needed and keep copies accessible during travel.
  • Agree the next review, who can answer questions after departure and how to request additional records. Discuss return-travel timing with the treating team. Use only the secure channel agreed with your clinicians for medical documents; the public Elysium contact form is not a medical-record service.

Know the contacts if a problem occurs

  • Before care, obtain written instructions on individual warning signs, daytime and out-of-hours contacts, and the institution responsible if a problem occurs. Clarify arrangements after returning home, possible additional costs and coverage. In an emergency, contact local emergency services without waiting for a Guide reply.
  • Ask the care team to write down the local emergency number, the address to give the dispatcher and the appropriate urgent-care contact for your stay. Keep these instructions available to your companion as well.
