NeoControl approved for
reimbursement by Turkey, Croatia governments
In October 2005, "Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation
for the Treatment of Urinary Incontinence" was issued in
the reimbursement price list for the Turkish Medical
Association and the Turkish government. This move affects more
than 50 million Turkish citizens and widely opens the door for
NeoControl treatment in Turkey. Neotonus is represented in
Turkey by Hidromed Medical Devices Ltd. Co.
In August 2006, NeoControl Therapy was accepted for
reimbursement by the Health Care Insurance Fund (HCIF) in
Croatia. NeoControl has gained popularity through SIMBEX
clinics in Zagreb, and this decision by the Croatia government
sets the stage for many more placements of NeoControl in the
country and neighboring regions. A national symposium was
organized in November 2006. Neotonus is represented in
the region by CELERIS, D.O.O. (Trg. J.F.Kennedya 6b 10000
