Private healthcare in Turkey has flourished in the last
decade because of the extremely long queues and private service in
government hospitals. Today, most of the private hospitals have
various contracts with different insurance companies. This has
increased the quality of medical treatment at Turkey hospitals. Due
to the mounting competition from private medical centers and
hospitals, there has been a noticeable amount of increase in the
quality of state-run hospitals all over Turkey.
In Turkey, one can find all kinds of hospitals and medical
centers in every city. These are available to help citizens,
expatriates and the international travelers providing excellent
facilities to ensure quality treatment. In large and major cities
such as Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara and Kusadasi have all the latest
technology along with internationally trained doctors, who are able
to speak and understand English and can address to different kinds
of medical complications. For local citizens, there are many doctors
available to assist them in local language. Numerous clinics and
small hospitals are located all around the minor cities and also in
rural areas.
Turkey as a Medical tourism destination
Turkey is in an extremely unique and a great position to
serve Americans and Western Europeans just like the Middle

becomes a significant and best destination for medical tourism. Its
beautiful, relaxing environment and wonderful climate attract many
people from the world for a health trip to Turkey. Even the calmness

Turkey is very popular for its cosmetic surgeries, fertility
