Turkey

Why Turkey?

Turkey is one of the main countries which promote medical tourism and it is now moving into the new area of "medical out-sourcing," where hospitals subcontract services such as overnight use of their computer systems and laboratory facilities to the overburdened medical care systems in western countries.
Turkish Medical Institutions serve an estimated 15,000 foreign patients every year. Western patients usually get a package deal that includes flights, transfers, hotels, treatment and often a post-operative vacation.

Turkey is now one of the most popular destinations for patients traveling abroad for medical treatment, cosmetic surgery and dentistry.

For people from the US, the main reason for choosing Turkey is the low cost of treatment, often less than a quarter and sometimes as little as a tenth of the cost at home. For people from the UK and Canada, it is the prospect of immediate treatment, avoiding the misery and frustration of lengthy waiting lists for much-needed operations, as well as the prohibitive costs of elective or cosmetic surgery. Turkey also offers patients the opportunity to recuperate in a sunny climate amid beautiful surroundings and in a range of accommodation at prices to suit every budget.

Doctor Accreditation

The history of medicine in Turkey dates back to 7th century and most of the medical doctors in Turkey are reputable. Many of them have completed their residencies abroad and continue to update and expand their knowledge through professional training programs, predominantly in the U.S.A.

All Turkish cosmetic Surgeons following graduation from medical school have to take compulsory exams in order for them to become a cosmetic surgeon and qualify for entrance to the Cosmetic Surgery Specialist Program. This can take up to six and a half years, after which Medics are given the title of Certified Plastic Surgeon, MD. It is compulsory for Turkish surgeons to be members of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, this organization regulates surgeons standards and is an organization which has regular meetings and educational updates to ensure safe practices & high standards are maintained & developed The Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health regulates the clinics and hospitals in Turkey and each clinic and hospital must meet the ministry?s standards and requirements. The Turkish Medical Association is the Turkish equivalent to the British Medical Association.
