Health Tourism in Turkey. The Comprehensive Guide!


Why Turkey is an Ideal Destination for Health Tourism


  1. Turkey is the central hub for the East and the West

Turkey is the gateway between east and west. It is easily accessible regardless of the continent or country from which you are traveling. Additionally, it has long been a global center of commerce, culture, and politics.

Istanbul Airport in Turkey is also one of the largest airports in the world. It currently accommodates over 200 million people annually and has approximately 300 direct flights internationally.

The position and geography of Turkey, the character of its culture and history, the environment, the fact that it has 1.5 billion neighbors on three distinct landmasses, and a four-hour travel time from most spots on earth make it the shining star of health tourism worldwide.

Not to mention its stunning beaches on the southern and western coasts. Cities such as Antalya, Bodrum, and Izmir will encourage you to extend your tourist visit for a little while, to experience such natural scenery before or after your medical procedure.

  1. Surgeries are cheaper in Turkey

In general, health tourism procedures in Turkey can be up to 90 percent less expensive, and 64 percent of people who travel overseas for private medical treatment take advantage of this. 

That speaks volumes about the affordability of medical services in Turkey. Additionally, cosmetic surgery in Turkey is 70% less expensive than in most of Europe. You can save more money without jeopardizing the quality of the desired therapies.

In addition, Turkish Airlines offers a discount for medical travelers. If you compute the overall cost of your surgery, travel, and lodging, it is still less expensive than obtaining the same treatment in most western nations. 

So why not combine your surgery with a vacation? Give EsteConfido’s team a call and book an appointment with our top-notch medical experts.  

  1. Well-rounded when it comes to treatment offerings

While some nations are renowned for specific types of treatment, Turkey is an exception.

People from all over the world travel to Turkey for obesity treatments, hair transplants, cancer treatments, rhinoplasty, dental treatments, low-cost in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and other medical procedures.

They are also popular for quit-smoking sessions and mental health treatment & consultation.

Turkey is actively pursuing full membership in the European Union in the near future. To prepare for this, quality, technological, and medical requirements are strictly enforced for both public and private healthcare companies. The Ministry of Health has established independent watchdogs that continually check specific requirements. 

The Ministry of Health, in conjunction with the Independent Turkish Medical Group, establishes the local norms and criteria that hospitals, healthcare facilities, and medical practitioners must follow.

The Turkish Ministry of Health owns and operates around 55 percent of Turkey’s 1200+ hospitals; the remaining are held by universities, private enterprises, and international organizations. 

The majority of hospitals have local and international accreditations, including JCI(Joint Commissions International), JACHO(Joint Commission on Healthcare Organizations Accreditation), ISO(International Organization for Standardization), and affiliations with Global medical associations and facilities.

  1. Quality hospitals and surgeons

In recent years, a considerable amount of money has been invested in the Turkish health tourism and medical sectors. The majority of private hospitals prioritize foreign patients and maintain rigorous standards. They utilize cutting-edge clinical & cosmetic technology. 

The government utilizes a PPP model (private-public partnership) to enhance the nation’s medical services infrastructure, and private emergency clinics also invest in enhancing their health tourism offices and services. 

Due to the magnitude of investment, internationally qualified specialists opt to remain and practice in Turkey to ensure that the standard of care is always at its highest. People from all over the world visit Turkey for medical tourism of all kinds, including hair transplants, various illnesses medications, dental procedures, minimally invasive in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and more.

  1. Quick booking (No waiting lists) 

Because they recognize the importance of medical tourism in Turkey, Turkish health tourism providers prioritize their international patients.

In Turkey, you may arrange a cosmetic or reconstructive operation in as little as two weeks, compared to roughly 18 months in the United Kingdom, or even more in some European countries or the USA.
