START WITH YOUR QUESTION

What would you like to ask about?

Choose a topic for your inquiry. The hospital must confirm the relevant specialist and service availability.

I’m unsure which specialty to contact

Ask TMG to help coordinate the appropriate next step.

YOUR APPOINTMENT CHECKLIST

Ask, confirm and prepare.

Open the sections you need. Confirm the individual hospital’s requirements.

1. Confirm the hospital and appointment
  • Ask for the doctor’s name, specialty, appointment date and time.
  • Confirm the hospital address, department and arrival time.
  • Ask about Myanmar or Shan interpretation and any separate charge.
  • Tell the hospital in advance if you need wheelchair or transport assistance.
2. Prepare for your doctor’s visit
  • Write down your questions and concerns.
  • Organize existing medical records and imaging reports for the doctor.
  • Prepare a list of current medicines and medication allergies.
  • Confirm any instructions before your visit directly with the hospital.

This checklist does not ask you to obtain new tests. Do not send records or passports in your first TMG inquiry.

3. Questions about a cost estimate
  • Does the estimate include the consultation, any tests and other service fees?
  • What is excluded, and when could additional charges apply?
  • What are the deposit, payment and cancellation terms?
  • Can the hospital provide a written quotation, and how long is it valid?

An estimate is not a guaranteed price. The hospital issues the final quotation and bill.

TMG helps with hospital information and communication. Discuss diagnosis and treatment decisions with a licensed doctor.

What should I include in my first message?

You can share your current country and the support you need. Records and passports are not needed initially. Ask who will receive any later records and why.
