Everyone has experienced the grueling and often heartbreaking process surrounding treatment of a serious medical ailment, whether with a family member, with a friend, or for ourselves.

ARCHIMEDICX provides unbiased data, which has been certified by HIMSS (Health Information Management Systems Society), the largest global non-profit organization that strives to optimize health engagements and care outcomes through information technologies. The independent data compares top medical facilities in the world based on your specified procedure, while taking into consideration your personal needs, such as: price, location, urgency, age, language, etc.
