Medical Tourism

Medical tourists can access high quality medical care in Turkey with incredible savings and - also avoid long waiting times for surgery and other consultations not to mention the leisure and peaceful recuperation in complete anonymity. However, it is vital to clarify the qualifications, training, and accreditation of the doctors and surgeons before committing to treatment. The Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health regulates all the clinics and hospitals in Turkey, and each must meet the ministry's standards and requirements. The Turkish Medical Association is the national organization representing medical practitioners in the public and private sectors.

Many hospitals have local and international accreditation including the JCI (Joint Commissions International), the JACHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations), ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and affiliations with western medical groups and facilities.
Most hospitals in Turkey have English-speaking doctors and medical staff that are certified by the Turkish Medical Association as well as being members of organizations according to their specializations, including the Turkish Dental Association, Turkish Gynecologist & Obstetric Association, Turkish Orthopedic and Traumatology Association, Turkish Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery Association, Turkish Society of Cardiovascular Surgery, and other specialized associations.
Most of these hospitals are also affiliated with top US medical providers such as the Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins Medicine amongst others. Hospitals catering to medical tourism in Turkey are equipped with the latest medical technologies and have board-certified staff, with over 35% of them trained in the US and other Western countries.
