Treatment in Türkiye: choosing well is most of the outcome
Türkiye receives patients from across the region, and the standard of its leading facilities is genuinely high. The risk is not the medicine — it is the brokerage layer between the patient and the hospital, where prices inflate and promises outrun reality.
What a serious file looks like
- A medical report first. No credible facility quotes a treatment plan before reading your reports and imaging.
- A written quotation that separates the procedure, the hospital stay, the tests and the follow-up — and states what is not included.
- A named physician and a named facility, not "one of our partner hospitals".
- A stated length of stay in Türkiye, including the post-operative follow-up period.
- A medical interpreter present at the consultation, not a general guide.
- A plan for the return home — what your local doctor needs to receive and when.
Questions to ask before you book a flight
- Which facility exactly, and can I verify its authorisation for international patients?
- Which physician will perform the procedure, and what is his or her specialisation?
- What is included in the quoted figure, and what is billed separately?
- What happens if a complication requires additional days or a second procedure?
- How many days must I stay, and when am I cleared to fly?
- What written record leaves with me for my doctor at home?
Visas and invitations for treatment
Travel for organised medical treatment is not covered by the e-Visa, which is valid for tourism or commerce only. A medical invitation from the treating facility supports a visa application at the mission — and it must reflect a real case, with a real appointment. An invitation issued on paper, with no clinical basis, is a reason for refusal and can create a longer-term problem for the traveller.
Treatment is also one of the grounds on which a short-term residence permit may be granted, provided the patient does not present a public-health risk.
How we work
We read the file
You send reports and imaging. We present the case to accredited facilities in the relevant specialty.
You receive options
A written plan and quotation from more than one facility where possible, so you compare rather than accept.
We arrange the travel
Invitation, appointment, accommodation near the hospital, transfers, and a medical interpreter with you.
We stay with the case
Through the admission, the procedure and the follow-up visits, with the discharge documents you will need at home.
After you return
We relay questions to the treating team and arrange follow-up consultations where the facility offers them remotely.
We tell you the risk
Where a procedure carries a realistic chance of a second intervention, you hear it before you travel, not after.
Send your medical report and receive real options
We present your case to accredited facilities and return with a written plan and quotation before you commit to anything. Reports and images stay confidential.
