How to reach Visus Medical: for patients from Turkmenistan
Для граждан Туркменистана, приезжающих from Ashgabat, мы согласуем приём в первой половине дня после прилёта — так вы успеете пройти все процедуры и не задерживать обратный рейс в Ашхабад.
Из Turkmenistan часть пациентов летят через Ашхабад с пересадкой: прямых рейсов в Ташкент из отдалённых городов мало, стыковка в столице Туркменистана добавляет полдня, но остаётся самым быстрым маршрутом.
Для жителей Ashgabat оптимален двухдневный визит: день перелёта Ашхабад — Ташкент, день приёма и процедур в Visus Medical, обратный рейс на следующее утро или вечером того же дня при плотном графике.
Таможенные формальности при ввозе лекарств для личного пользования обычно не создают проблем при наличии рецепта и упаковки; если везёте объёмный багаж с меддокументами, возьмите выписки на русском или английском языке.

What is rheumatic fever?
If you live in Turkmenistan, we can offer a hybrid format: remote stages + in-person checkpoints. Rheumatic fever (acute rheumatic fever) is a systemic inflammatory disease that develops after streptococcal infection (tonsillitis, pharyngitis). It mainly affects the heart, joints, skin, and nervous system.
Causes and pathogenesis
We advise patients from Turkmenistan not to interrupt the course — even when feeling better, checkpoints matter. Rheumatic fever develops as a complication of streptococcal infection. For Turkmenistan, avoiding diagnostic delays is especially important. A rheumatic attack may begin 1–3 weeks after tonsillitis.
- Genetic predisposition
- Frequent streptococcal infections
- Incorrect or incomplete treatment of tonsillitis
- Hypothermia, dampness
Symptoms of rheumatic fever
- Heart area pain
- Shortness of breath on exertion
- Palpitations
- Cardiac rhythm disturbances
- Acute pain in large joints
- Swelling and redness
- "Migratory" pain pattern
- Limited movement
- Fever up to 38–39°C
- General weakness, malaise
- Increased sweating
