The authorities of Turkey have paid special attention to the development of its infrastructure. All fields of life are developed according to their merit. Turkish people have seen massive development in the field of healthcare tourism. Health tourism should not only be viewed as medical care.

The Turkish government has paid proper attention to all these branches of healthcare tourism and has received immense appreciation from every corner of the world. It has been estimated that, in every developed country, more than 20 percent of the population comprise of elders. This figure is expected to rise in the upcoming years. Thus, in this regard, Turkey has taken the lead over many other leading countries of the world.

Turkey is now one of the members of the health tourism providers. Though, Turkey generates only 1 percent revenue per year through this venture, but according to some experts this percentage is destined to rise considering the advancements made in this sector. The modernization made in the health care department has forced the European nations and other countries to move towards Turkey. Most of the people travel to this country due to dental problems and other health related issues. They believe that Turkey is the best place to treat the illnesses.

Istanbul, being the capital of Turkey and center for all the key activities of the country, bears a lot of medical centers. Across the Turkish land, there are 3500 medical institutes, including hospitals, dental care units and clinics. Most of them are located in Istanbul. The project of creating specialized health zones in Turkey is still in progress. While this takes place, international investors are getting attracted to investing their sum in this part of the economy. Realizing the number of tourist arrivals in Turkey, people with heavy capital are planning to invest in the development of healthcare tourism in this state. Hence, this is a positive sign for Turkish government.

With respect to the new legal code of Turkey, the ministers are planning to increase the influx of capital in Turkey, especially in Istanbul. This will increase the pace of the construction of health units for tourists. The execution of this act will increase the employment opportunities, improve medical machinery, and bring skilled and expert health care people in the country. Other countries have taken the lead from Turkey and develop the infrastructure of health zones in their regions. Few experts believe that implants and prosthetic teeth are more affordable than other medical services. Hence, people all around the globe are attracted towards this facility.

To conclude, Turkey is a rapidly developing country in Europe. The honest efforts from Turkish government and outside investors have made it possible for this country to prosper in the field of health tourism
