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. Instead, it is the
combination of rehabilitation, retirement facilities, thermal spas
and all the services which are associated with the elderly
community.
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.

Europe. The honest efforts from Turkish government and outside
investors have made it possible for this country to prosper in the
