Helpful resources
Turkey is the shining star of health tourism with its world-class hospitals, experienced doctors and affordable treatment options.
1. Pre-Consultation and Planning
Your treatment process begins before you leave your country. You contact your preferred clinic or hospital and share your medical history, X-ray images or photos. Specialist doctors evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan for you.
2. Arrival in Turkey and Welcome
When you land at the airport, the VIP transfer team of the healthcare institution you have agreed with usually welcomes you.
3. Complication Insurance Assurance
Complication Insurance, which has become mandatory as of 2026, is the most important assurance of your treatment process. In case of a possible complication, revision surgery, additional treatment costs, flight tickets, and accommodation expenses are covered under this insurance.
