Public Institution Šiauliai Rehabilitation Centre has entered into agreements with Šiauliai, Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and Panevėžys Territorial Health Insurance Funds (THIF) for the provision of health care services.

Our Rehabilitation Centre offers the following treatment possibilities for the patients:

Upon arrival for specialised outpatient personal health care services (for treatment with a GP referral), a patient must bring:

• Identity document (Personal Identity Card or Passport) and Disability Certificate.
• Extract of the medical record issued by your GP (Form 027/a).

Patients willing to consult with one of our physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists as well as receive specialised outpatient health care services without a GP referral shall pay for the consultation and treatment procedures prescribed by our physician on the grounds of the approved price list of paid services.

Our Rehabilitation Centre, working under Health Care Licence No. 327, is providing outpatient rehabilitation services for children and adults on the grounds of the following disease profiles:
