Med. exam done!

[Katia-a-a 0]

Hi, guys! I decided to write about my experience!

So, I got an appointment with IOM for the day I wanted. "Medisina" was all packed! Weird.

I came at 10.30. Got a paper to fill in. Then I paid for the exam (160$) and DS-3025 (20$). Btw, DS-3025 is a translation of all your vaccinations. I decided not to have additional vaccines made because the woman told me it's very expensive in their hospital (50$ each). Then she gave me a huge envelope and a description how to get to the hospital.

The hospital is near the Lenin's library, near the Kremlin. About 20 mins on subway. Not far! I got there about 12.

They took blood for HIV etc, got an x-ray of the chest and then a GP examined me. That's it! They told to come back at 16:00!

So, at 13:00 I finished the whole medical exam! YAY!

I went to pay for DHL and then just enjoyed the city

At 16 I came back, got the huge envelope back with a smaller one for the embassy and went back home to my town )))))))

I hope you'll find this information useful!

Btw, the doctors were nice to me

Thank you so much. Luba's exam is June 22 at IOM. I'm going to copy and paste your description into an email to her.

Katia-a-a - can you tell me more about required vaccinations? I know there is a list, but can we take care of that once my fiancee is here in the States with me?

Thanks.

It's great you did not have a negative experience a MOM. Not all have been so lucky there.
