Lufthansa and German Health offer medical packages to Germany from the UAE

Available from any UAE travel agent, German Health medical packages offer complete organisation of medical programmes, including travel and entry formalities such as visas, transport at destination, native language-support and accommodation. AXIS, a neutral brand wholesaling products to the travel trade, is handling all the bookings in the UAE for these packages.

"This first-of-its-kind medical package available for residents in the UAE, sees us partner with MedNet UAE, GES, Sixt and Axis Holidays Worldwide, to offer complete organisation of medical programmes," said Uwe Wriedt, General Manager, Passenger Sales for UAE and Director for Gulf, Iran and Pakistan. "With our partnership with German Health we hope to bring reliable medical check-ups in Germany closer to people in the UAE." German Health medical packages will soon be available in Kuwait and Oman as well.

German Health offers in-depth information and personal consultation, interpretation during discussions with physicians, support of accompanying individuals and exclusively-arranged support programmes such as sightseeing and shopping trips. German Health additionally functions as a central clearing agency for patients and the respective medical service provider.

Rashid Al Noori, Senior General Manager Dnata Agencies, which represents Lufthansa as GSA, said: "Germany offers superb health facilities. AXIS is delighted to work with Lufthansa and German Emirates Services to make these facilities easily available to residents of the UAE. I am sure that the combination of health care and leisure activities, which these packages offer, will ensure their success."

German Health medical packages offer several programmes such as a Classic Check-Up Programme, which is an all-round preventive check-up, completely practicable within two days. German Health also offers a Business Check-Up Programme, where you can fit your check-up within your business trip. The Business Check-Up Programme offers many benefits such as flight booking at special conditions, hotel reservation at special prices, limousine service and arrangements for business appointments.

Together with Lufthansa, German Health also offers a Family Programme, a precautionary programme for the entire family. German Health can arrange an individual family holiday at the most beautiful German destinations, including city sightseeing and shopping tours. German Health also offers a Wellness Programme where you can relax in the most renowned and exclusive wellness centres in Germany, enjoying spa treatments and sports activities.

"With German Health medical packages, one can take full advantage of the exquisite Lufthansa service, arriving relaxed at the respective destination in Germany," added Wriedt.

"We are delighted to be able to offer relaxed and stylish travel to those who decide to take up on German Health medical packages. Not only does German Health and Lufthansa fly you to your destination comfortably, but we will also take the stress of organising travel arrangements and booking medical appointments away," he concluded.
