HEALTH TOURISM

This type of tourism provides support not only to patients but also to their families by offering patient-centered services. The rising cost of healthcare services in developed countries is prompting private health and social security institutions to collaborate with countries offering more cost-effective, high-quality services. Popular operations in health tourism include plastic surgery, dentistry, organ transplants, cardiac and orthopedic surgery. Patients can receive a wide range of services, from basic to alternative treatments, as well as various packages that include travel and accommodation.

The international health tourism industry has grown tremendously with the globalization of healthcare. This globalization opens up new possibilities for those seeking high quality medical care. Governments are encouraged to plan and expand this sector, which offers low-cost and high-income opportunities.

Health insurance companies around the world have begun to offer international health coverage in the health tourism market. These plans are intended to enable insured patients to receive treatment at designated clinics, with insurance companies covering some or all of the medical costs. Insurance plans offer patients opportunities for cost-effective treatment abroad and often include international collaboration with doctors.

Medical tourism offers an attractive alternative for people in countries with high medical costs. Benefits include:

Providing fast medical assistance with short waiting times.

High-quality treatment at more than 600 JCI-accredited medical facilities worldwide.

Patients can receive post-operative treatment at contracted health institutions. These facilities offer patients the highest level of attention and a comfortable recovery process.

Medical tourism allows patients to explore new places and experience different cultures.

The most popular Medical tourism treatments include cosmetic surgery, dentistry, orthopedic surgery, cardiac surgery and organ transplantation. It is also possible to find country-specific treatments.

Medical tourism not only offers a cheaper medical care option, but also maintains high quality standards. The number of people seeking treatment abroad is increasing due to low costs and short waiting times. Health tourism also offers the chance to visit another country.

Medical tourism is generally considered safe, but it is important to research the quality of doctors and facilities before seeking treatment abroad. Choosing a trusted clinic and doctor is critical to the safety of treatment. Also, having a clear agreement covering travel and treatment costs prevents problems for patients.

We conduct a rigorous selection process to develop our network of hospitals. We make our selections from candidate hospitals identified as Turkey's most respected and preferred medical centers, using various criteria such as medical device technology, physician quality, and brand reputation. We select hotels for pre- and post-treatment stays from among 5-star hotels located near our affiliated hospitals, ensuring they align with our quality policy and criteria in the most suitable manner. As much as we care about your treatment, we also think about your comfort, ease of transportation and safety during the treatment process.

We manage transfer services with our expert team. We provide fast and safe transportation between locations by calculating and taking into account every fine detail. We use air ambulances to transport patients who cannot be transported to the medical center where you will receive treatment by air (standard aircraft). In order to provide a complete and flawless service, we are always ready to serve in emergencies and critical moments with our air and land ambulances. With our VIP vehicles, we offer transfer services for patients and companions from the airport to accommodation centers and from these centers to hospitals, with an understanding that adopts comfort and ease of transportation.
