Med Assistance is a medical tourism clinic established in 2022 in Tunis, Tunisia. Located in the Les Berges du Lac district, the facility houses 14 medical departments. It connects international patients with surgical care across multiple disciplines.

Accreditations and Quality Standards

The clinic holds TEMOS and ISAPS accreditations. Surgical teams undergo strict qualification checks before partnering with the center. Many specialists are members of the Tunisian Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (STCPRE) or hold international board certifications.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The plastic surgery department treats patients seeking aesthetic changes through various surgical methods. Dr. Atef Ghedira and Dr. Narjes Hamri each bring over 15 years of experience. Patients can choose from several facial and body contouring techniques:

• Full rhytidectomy – a traditional facelift for the neck and lower face
• Mini facelift – a less invasive option for early signs of aging
• Rhinoplasty and septoplasty
• Breast augmentation and breast lifting
• Liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• Buttock lipofilling

Facelift patients receive 24/7 nursing care for the first 3 days. Most stay in Tunisia for 7–14 days for initial healing and monitoring. Surgeons provide a detailed aftercare plan covering wound care and medication schedules.

Bariatric and Weight Loss Surgery

Bariatric surgery treats severe or morbid obesity by restricting food intake. Dr. Slim Khelifi and Dr. Ahmed Krichen lead this department, each with over 20 years of experience. The team primarily performs laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, which uses small incisions to reduce stomach size.

Pre-operative preparation includes a complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, and an ECG. The procedure typically lasts 90 minutes to 2 hours. Patients stay in the hospital for 5 days to confirm metabolic stability before discharge.

Dental and Hand Surgery

The dental unit focuses on restorative and aesthetic treatments for complete or partial tooth loss. Specialists use All-on-4 technology, replacing a full arch with only four artificial roots. The process begins with a 3D scan to evaluate bone quality before placing permanent dentures.

Hand surgery services include treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. Dr. Sirine Soussi, a former assistant at the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, leads this department. Diagnostic assessments include an electromyogram (EMG) and sometimes an MRI to confirm nerve compression.

Specialized Equipment and Diagnostics

The clinic supports diagnostic accuracy with specialized imaging equipment on-site. The dental department uses Cerec Omnicam Scanning for high-resolution 3D digital impressions. Surgical patients undergo pre-operative blood work and ECG to confirm fitness for anesthesia. Hand and orthopedic specialists use electromyography to assess muscle and nerve health.

Services for International Patients

The clinic handles travel logistics to simplify medical care abroad. English-speaking coordinators manage communication and provide 24/7 support during the stay. The medical journey begins with a virtual consultation to discuss goals and medical history. Key services include:

• Airport transfers and local transportation
• Accommodation in a partnered recovery hotel or resort
• Video follow-up calls with the surgeon at 15 and 30 days
• Access to a 24/7 emergency number for post-operative questions
• Medical reports translated for the patient's local doctor

If patients cannot return for the 6-month review, the clinic can arrange an appointment with a local surgeon. Post-treatment support continues through scheduled phone follow-ups to monitor long-term scar healing and swelling.
