Why Health in Turkey?

HEALTH SERVICES IN TURKEY

Health care in Turkey is controlled by the Ministry of Health through a centralized state system. In 2003, the government introduced a far-reaching health reform program that increased the proportion of the budget allocated to health care and aimed to make a large proportion of the population healthy.

In our country, there're 42 health institutions accredited with JCI at international standards. Private, public, and university hospitals, especially in Istanbul and Ankara, are equipped with the highest technology in the world.

In many hospitals in Turkey, oncological treatments, cardiovascular surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, aesthetic surgery, and eye and dental high-tech health services are provided. Cyberknife, robotic surgery, MRI, services, bone marrow, and organ transplantation can be performed in these hospitals. Interpretation services are available 24/7 in Arabic, English, German, and Russian for international patients in hospitals and on the 112 number in case of emergencies and 184 number in case of complaints. All doctors are obliged to have professional liability insurance and in case of any medical error or malpractice, the patient is immediately compensated by the insurance. All our hospitals serve according to national accreditation criteria and are audited twice a year.
