AIWA Clinic, one of Latvia’s most modern multi-profile surgical centres, has officially launched its International Bariatric Centre of Excellence in Riga – further solidifying its reputation as a leading provider of weight loss surgery in Northern Europe. The new centre is a cornerstone of AIWA’s strategy to deliver high-quality, accessible care to both local and international patients.
With obesity affecting nearly one in five adults in Latvia – and growing across Europe – the need for a dedicated, multidisciplinary solution has never been greater. AIWA’s new bariatric centre offers a comprehensive treatment model, combining surgical expertise with nutritional guidance, psychological support, and long-term follow-up.
From initial consultations to full post-operative care, patients are supported every step of the way by a dedicated medical team.
The clinic’s surgical procedures follow the latest international guidelines and are performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This reduces trauma and speeds up recovery. AIWA’s bariatric team is led by respected surgeons, including Dr Igors Troickis, one of the pioneers of bariatric surgery in Latvia.
In 2023, the clinic also became the first in the country to introduce a non-endoscopic, swallowable gastric balloon, offering a non-surgical alternative to patients who do not qualify or wish to avoid traditional operations.
While AIWA serves the local community, it also attracts patients from the UK, Scandinavia, and other parts of Europe. Its commitment to European safety standards, personal patient care, and transparent pricing has made it a trusted destination for medical travel and bariatric treatment.
The clinic’s location in Riga – just minutes from the airport – ensures easy access for international visitors, with English-speaking coordinators guiding each patient through the process.
AIWA Clinic offers private rooms, multilingual staff, and individualised care. Every treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s health profile and goals. The clinic also provides structured post-op follow-up, including annual check-ups and remote consultations to ensure long-term success.
AIWA Clinic is more than a surgery provider – it’s a centre of medical excellence where patients receive world-class care in a safe, supportive, and modern environment.
