“On this evening’s Sunday Show, I’m joined by two great voices from Düsseldorf — Dimitri Belov and Benjamin Tenius. We dive into what makes this vibrant city so special: its art and culture, the famous Altbier tradition, the unique Irish connection at the Clayton Hotel in Little Tokyo, and Düsseldorf’s reputation as a world leader in preventative medical tourism — where international stars come for full check-ups… including little CELEBRETINIS like myself! A brilliant conversation with two people who know Düsseldorf inside out.”   https://www.duesseldorf-health.de/en

Healthcare Infrastructure 

As the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf offers a comprehensive range of medical services both within and beyond its boundaries. The city's healthcare infrastructure includes several renowned institutions known for their comprehensive and specialized services, ensuring top-tier medical care across the region​. This robust infrastructure is a key factor in the rise of medical tourism in Düsseldorf.

The city's medical infrastructure also fosters a healing environment, combining high-quality care with a tranquil atmosphere, which is crucial for patient recovery​. Additionally, Düsseldorf's research facilities host over 500 active clinical trials, bringing cutting-edge treatments to patients faster and contributing to global medical advancements​. This comprehensive approach solidifies Düsseldorf's position as a top choice for medical tourists seeking advanced medical services.

Excellent Accommodations: The Clayton Hotel Düsseldorf

Düsseldorf’s commitment to medical tourism extends beyond healthcare facilities to an impressive array of accommodation options. The city’s hotel infrastructure is designed to meet the individual needs of medical tourists, offering comfort, convenience, and personal care.  The city boasts over 200 hotels with ca. 38,000 beds, ensuring a variety of accommodations for different budgets and preferences​.

Ed stayed at the Clayton Hotel Düsseldorf in the Little Tokyo area which has a terrific fitness centre and a rooftop swimming pool 

Serviced apartments and extended stay options are also available, providing a home-like environment with kitchen facilities and separate living areas, ideal for long-term treatments​​.

Düsseldorf's comprehensive hotel infrastructure supports medical tourists by offering high-quality accommodations that ensure a comfortable and supportive environment for patients and their families.

A big thanks to Benjamin and Dimitri for being my guests on this evening's show from Dusseldorf.
