Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Allergic bronchial asthma starts with a mistake in the immune response: to an ordinary protein, such as pollen, house dust mites or animal dander, the body produces specific IgE antibodies. On the next contact with the same allergen, cells in the airway lining release inflammatory mediators, the airways narrow, and you notice wheezing, coughing and difficulty breathing out. That is why the doctor treats not only the airways but also the cause of the reaction, the specific allergen.
Diagnosis confirms both components. Spirometry shows how narrowed the airways are, while skin tests and the level of specific immunoglobulin E point to the specific allergen. Based on these results, the doctor draws up an individual plan that takes into account the severity of the disease and your quality of life. MediUkraine will arrange a consultation with an allergist-immunologist or pulmonologist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
Most treatment plans are based on inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-2 agonists, with biological therapy added for severe disease. The aim is stable remission: flare-ups become less frequent and physical activity is easier to tolerate. Long-term treatment slows the progression of the disease and the development of obstructive changes in the lungs, so the plan is not set once and for all but reviewed at follow-up visits based on symptoms and lung function.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Medication remains the main treatment for allergic bronchial asthma. The first line for controlling airway inflammation is inhaled corticosteroids (ICS); long-acting β2 agonists, which widen the airways, are prescribed in combination with them. If the effect is not enough, the doctor adds leukotriene antagonists or theophylline. At the partner clinic, a pulmonologist assesses your condition, recommends a treatment plan and advises where and how to continue treatment.
Immunological methods reduce the immune system's overreaction to allergens. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is given as a course: under a doctor's supervision, you receive increasing doses of the allergen. After several months of this treatment, asthma symptoms usually ease and the need for bronchodilators decreases.
Preventive measures complement medication. These include avoiding contact with the identified allergens, a hypoallergenic home and control of your home environment. Specialists at the partner clinic draw up an individual asthma management plan for each patient.
Recovery after allergic bronchial asthma treatment lasts longer than the main course, and this is the stage at which remission is consolidated. After treatment, you are seen regularly by a pulmonologist and an allergist. MediUkraine takes care of further follow-up: booking consultations and lung function tests that assess how open the airways are.
During this period you are taught to use inhalers correctly, keep a symptom diary and take peak flow readings. The doctor draws up an individual maintenance treatment plan according to the level of asthma control achieved. At home, remove triggers and keep a hypoallergenic environment: this is part of treatment, not optional advice. MediUkraine can also help you find rehabilitation programmes and psychological support.
How long recovery takes depends on the severity of the disease and how closely you follow the prescriptions. Doctors aim for at least 3–6 months of regular monitoring until stable clinical and functional remission. At each visit, the frequency of flare-ups and the need for reliever medicines are recorded, and these are the measures by which the result is judged.
Allergic bronchial asthma treatment starts with diagnosis: allergy tests, spirometry and immunological blood tests. These data show both the cause and the degree of airway obstruction, and without them it is impossible to choose a treatment plan. Treatment then proceeds in two directions: controlling inflammation in the airways and eliminating contact with allergens.
The basis of medication is inhaled corticosteroids: they reduce inflammation in the airways and prevent flare-ups. Alongside them, long-acting beta-2 agonists that widen the airways are prescribed. When the allergic component is pronounced, antihistamines and anti-leukotriene medicines are added. The doses and combination are chosen according to the severity of the disease and your age.
MediUkraine will arrange a pulmonologist consultation at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod: the doctor will assess your condition and advise where and how to continue treatment according to international protocols.
Allergic bronchial asthma treatment in Ukraine costs significantly less than at European and North American clinics. The accuracy of diagnostic tests such as spirometry, allergy tests and CT scans is sufficient to draw up an individual treatment plan.
Consultations with allergists and pulmonologists are also cheaper. Each specialist carries out a thorough examination and recommends the right set of medicines, from basic treatment with corticosteroids to biological medicines for severe asthma. MediUkraine helps international patients organise the whole treatment process, from booking to coordination with the doctors. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
The in-person part of treatment and monitoring in Ukraine takes 2–3 weeks, after which consultations can continue online, saving both money and travel time. You see the amount in advance and do not face the unexpected extra charges common at private clinics in Western countries.
Allergic bronchial asthma treatment in Ukraine follows international protocols and the GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) recommendations. Pulmonology departments use spirometry, allergy sensitisation tests and bronchial provocation tests. Patient safety is ensured by quality control of medicines, mandatory certification of specialists and continuous monitoring of your condition during treatment.
MediUkraine's partner clinic in Uzhhorod follows uniform standards of medical care. It has equipment for diagnosis and treatment, including nebulisers, pulse oximeters and allergy testing systems. Staff are trained in asthma management and emergency care for an acute attack.
MediUkraine checks that the partner clinic holds a valid licence and follows the rules of asepsis and antisepsis. You receive a personal treatment plan and regular assessment of how well your allergic asthma treatment is actually working.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
It is comprehensive treatment that both calms inflammation in the airways and reduces the body's allergic reaction. Its aim is fewer attacks, easier breathing and stable remission. Modern methods include inhaled medicines, antihistamines, allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) and lifestyle changes. The plan is chosen according to the severity of the disease and reviewed at follow-up visits.
The first step is a pulmonologist consultation at the partner clinic, from USD 20. The doctor gives the treatment plan and its cost after the examination: they depend on the severity of the disease, the number of tests and the length of treatment. MediUkraine will help you get a cost estimate before you travel.
It is worth seeing an allergist or pulmonologist if you have recurrent bouts of coughing, breathlessness, wheezing or chest tightness, especially if the symptoms get worse near an allergen. The earlier the diagnosis is made, the lower the risk of complications and the faster the disease can be brought under control.
Before treatment starts you need a doctor's consultation, blood tests (including IgE), spirometry and identification of the allergens that trigger attacks. Before the visit, limit contact with allergens, keep your home clean and do not smoke.
Yes. Asthma control medicines can be used during pregnancy and in people with chronic conditions, provided a doctor manages the treatment. The doctor chooses doses and forms of medicine that keep the risk to both mother and baby as low as possible; do not stop or change your inhalers on your own.
How long recovery takes with allergic asthma treatment depends on your individual features and the severity of the disease. Patients usually notice the first changes within 2–4 weeks of starting appropriate treatment: episodes of breathlessness become less frequent, the need for rescue bronchodilators falls and sleep returns to normal. Full stabilisation of symptoms can take 2–3 months, especially if the dose of maintenance treatment has to be adjusted.
During this period it is important not only to take your medicines but also to identify and eliminate the allergens that cause flare-ups. Specialists at MediUkraine's partner clinic will draw up an individual treatment plan and teach you to use your inhaler correctly, which noticeably affects how well treatment works. During the first year, see your pulmonologist regularly: these visits are when the plan is adjusted to the level of asthma control achieved.
Lasting remission of allergic bronchial asthma is possible, and the chances are higher when treatment starts at an early stage of the disease. Long-term remission or disappearance of symptoms occurs in about 30–40% of patients who follow a comprehensive treatment approach. The result depends on age, how long you have had the disease, other allergic conditions and how closely you follow the doctor's prescriptions.
In adults who have had asthma for many years, full recovery is harder to achieve, but control of the disease and a noticeably better quality of life are entirely realistic goals. Specific immunotherapy and biological therapy bring many patients into stable remission. MediUkraine will help you find specialists who will draw up an individual treatment plan and carry out the tests needed to choose a treatment strategy.
