Turkey has become a new hub for medical and healthcare tourism over the past ten years. Hundreds of patients are travelling to the hospitals of Istanbul and Ankara due to efficient and affordable healthcare services provided to all local people as well as to the foreigners.

Its strategically ideal location connecting the East and West makes it new medical and tourist frontier. The former Soviet Union countries like Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan inherited all the medical facilities and equipment from Soviet era which are relatively out-dated and old fashioned.





Therefore, citizens not only from these neighboring countries, but also from the well developed countries like UK and US venture Turkish Hospitals for their High-Tech advanced medical treatments and highly professional and experienced medical faculty.
 

One of the many reasons of why Turkey has become famous for its superlative medical treatment is its highly qualified and educated doctors and surgeons who are specialist in their fields. About 55% of the hospitals in Turkey are government hospitals while remaining are either private or research oriented medical hospitals run under universities. Almost all of them are ISO affiliated and many hold the Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditations. Such renowned and world-class hospital would definitely have some of the finest doctors who make understand the plights of patients and try to assist them in every possible way.

The main stream doctors in hospitals of Istanbul and other major cities of Turkey have International degrees from the famous medical colleges and universities from abroad. They have also served residencies in the foreign countries such as United States of America and then decided to come back home and continue the noble deed. The doctors and surgeons are also keen to learn the new breakthroughs in the medicine and enhance their medical knowledge on how to utilize them; therefore these doctors attend different seminars, lectures and medical meetings at abroad and home quite frequently.

Turkey is not only famous for its low-cost cancer treatments practiced by highly professional oncologists but also the regimented cosmetic and reconstructive or plastic surgery. These hospitals are highly affiliated and accredited by numerous world-class associations and organizations. Hospitals like Memorial Hizmet Hospital in Istanbul and Ekip Estetik Istanbul are well renowned and famous for its services in cosmetic, reconstructive or plastic surgery.

They have all the modern facilities that can operate procedures like face lifts, liposuction, tummy tucks etc. Highly professional surgeons perform these common cosmetic surgeries to the latest and complex body aesthetic procedure including breast aesthetic, prosthesis and Bodytite. The two well-known hospitals, Florence Nightingale Hospital and the Jineman Hospital, even offer the most advanced Da Vinci Robotic surgery and provide expertise in innovative cosmetic or plastic surgery methodologies.

All these Turkish Hospitals offer such latest and new surgical processes at fairly low price than any other renowned hospitals of US or European country. Roughly, all the plastic surgical processes provided in United States of America are about 40-75% more expensive than in Turkey’s hospitals.

Due to the massive increase in medical tourism in Turkey, the Turkish airlines have introduced many favorable packages for foreign patients travelling to Turkey. The tickets are relatively affordable and during the journey, they provide all the required medical facilities to the patient. This incentive has encouraged many travelers to visit the country and has caused a rapid increase in health tourism of Turkey.
