        Modern Turkish hospitals combine high level of medical care according to the international protocols and reasonable prices for medical services. Therefore, more and more international patients come here annually.

        According to the International Medical Travel Journal (IMTJ), in 2018 more than 850,000 foreign citizens came to Turkey for medical care. In 2017, this figure was close to 700,000.

        The number of medical tourists among visitors to Turkey is growing, although the country has traditionally been famous for its tourist destination. Some patients prefer to combine medical program with active or cultural leisure.

        Quality of treatment in Turkey

         

        According to the IMTJ magazine rating, Turkey ranks the third place in the list of the most attractive countries for treatment. First of all, this ranking was achieved due to the high quality of medical care and excellent service.

        Turkish specialists do not limit their education and advanced training by borders of their native country. As a rule, doctors undergo internship or additional specialization at reputable universities in Germany, the USA, and the UK. The participation in international conferences and symposia as speakers or listeners is an obligatory part of their professional life. The updated protocols for medical care are reviewed and implemented in the country annually.

        Also, the leading Turkish hospitals are subjected to national and international certification. Only those medical facilities that meet stringent quality standards are entitled to provide medical care to the citizens of other countries.

        Such certificates include:

        • Certificate of Joint Commission International, JCI
        • Certificate of Technical Inspection Association (Technischer Überwachungsverein, TÜV)
        • Certificate of MTQUA (Medical Tourism Quality Alliance) for carrying out certain procedures, for example, hair transplantation using the FUE and FUT methods

        In addition, Turkish doctors use only those drugs, prostheses and medical materials that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

        Benefits of treatment in Turkey

         

        Taking into consideration growing number of international patients, Turkish medical institutions are constantly improving the system of international care. In Turkey, medical tourists have the following advantages:

        • Good equipment of hospitals. The leading medical institutions have long been equipped with devices for robotic surgery (from laparoscopic interventions to hair transplantation), high-precision tomography, and radionuclide methods of diagnostics / treatment.
        • Foreign patients are admitted by doctors who had internship in Israel, the USA, and Germany. Doctors strictly follow protocols of the world communities while choosing therapeutic activities.
        • Qualitative care. High level of comfort at the hospitals and caring attitude of medical staff are an integral part of treatment in Turkey.
        • Possibility to undergo rehabilitation in specialized centers with the help of special equipment, like Amadeo, TheraSuit, Armeo-power and Vertetrec.
        • Possibility to combine treatment with leisure or referral to the sanatorium-and-spa treatment after the main course of therapy.
        • Due to the strict state policy regarding the costs of medical services, the price of the treatment in Turkey is much lower than in Europe. The difference can reach 30-50%. Cost of therapy for foreigners is the same as for residents of the country.

        Turkish hospitals take into account wishes and cultural differences of patients from different countries. Here you can choose preferred gender of a doctor, receive meals on an individual menu, and communicate with the spiritual representatives of the main religions. If necessary, an interpreter accompanies the patient during medical procedures.

        Areas of Turkish hospitals’ special medical interest

         

        Multidisciplinary Turkish hospitals offer treatment of all diseases. However, in certain professional fields doctors achieve the most outstanding results.

        In Turkey, there is a large number of hospitals with solid worldwide reputation due to their achievements in oncology. The following treatment techniques are applied in Turkish cancer centers:

        • The most complex surgical interventions can be performed here.
        • Stereotactic surgery and radiosurgery are also applied. These techniques make it possible to remove hard-to-reach tumors in one day, without damage to healthy surrounding tissues.
        • Minimally invasive endoscopic surgeries are performed. They are characterized by short recovery period and low risk of complications.
        • Robotic technologies, such as daVinci and ARTAS are used here.
        • The latest types of radiation therapy, including therapeutic radionuclides are applied.

        Ophthalmology. In Turkey, you can undergo a one-day eye surgery, without any prolonged hospitalization and rehabilitation. The laser technologies, such as the excimer, argon, krypton, diode and ND:YAG laser are used. All surgical procedures are painless, as they are performed under anesthesia. Turkey has world's largest network of eye clinics, the World Eye Centers.

        Cardiology. In this country, there is a very high survival rate for patients after the heart surgery, namely more than 99%. Many patients visit Turkey in order to undergo the coronary artery bypass surgery or heart valve surgery.

        Reproductive medicine. Specialized Turkish clinics offer comprehensive examination in order to determine causes of infertility, as well as perform in vitro fertilization (IVF). The Memorial Hospital has the highest in Europe percentage of pregnancy after the first attempt of IVF.

        Transplantology. Organ transplantation is a very expensive and technically complex type of surgery. It requires high qualification of medical staff and availability of a suitable donor. In Turkey, the organ transplantation is carried out at the highest level, although the costs of such surgeries are much lower than in medical institutions of Western countries.

        Hair transplantation. This is a popular area of aesthetic medicine among men and women. In Turkish clinics, the hair transplantation is carried out with the help of FUT and FUE methods. Robotic techniques for the extraction of hair follicles are also used here. The whole procedure takes no more than 3 days.
