Turkey, The best place for medical tourism
|

Even after massive advancements in medicine, cancer is
still a curse for both patients and doctors. The only cure to this fatal disease
is to kill the infected and inconsistent cancer cells thorough different
procedures such as chemotherapy.
Almost every cancer patient has to undergo chemotherapy in his or her medical
treatment but unfortunately, the biggest upheaval everyone has to face is its
cost. That’s why Turkey has become an excellent place for health tourism due to
its affordable and low-cost cancer treatments in Istanbul hospitals. |

Apart from Turkey enjoying the ideal geographical location for
travelers from Europe and Asia, it offers remarkably low priced
cancer treatment such as Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy compared to
the cancer treatment costs in United States of America and other
Western countries. These hospitals provide the same high tech and
qualified treatment offered in USA, but in significantly lower
prices which leaves no question that why one must not choose these
Istanbul hospitals for one’s medication.
Medical and health care tourism in Turkey is considered
advanced due to a number of reasons; Ministry of Health of Turkey
owns about 55% of countries hospitals, remaining are either private
or research oriented university hospitals. Almost all of them are
ISO affiliated and several hold Joint Commission International (JCI)
accreditations.
All hospitals provide high-tech advanced facilities
with sophisticated and modern medical equipment such as MRI,
radiography and ultrasound machines. All the medical staff including
doctors and nurses is highly professional; most of the doctors have
international medical degrees with residencies served in countries
like US and UK who decided to bring their expertise back in Turkey.
These cancer doctors or oncologists continue to enhance their
medical knowledge by keeping in touch with the recent medical
breakthroughs by attending different lectures
Healthcare tourism in Istanbul is not only renowned only
among the neighboring countries or the Asian, but it is also
becoming a new favorite health tourist spot for the first-world
countries too including United States of America and United Kingdom.
Long waiting time encourages the patients to travel to Turkey for
their medical cancer treatment rather than US or UK which also gives
them cheaper and equally efficient facilities.
Hospitals in Istanbul
are filled with hundreds of international patients coming from
States, Moscow, Azerbaijan and Bulgaria. Countries like Azerbaijan
and other developing countries do not have such advanced facilities
at such low-cost prices as in Turkey. Furthermore, these hospitals
have mostly English speaking staff which makes communication fairly
easy. There are some hospitals that provide the facility of
multi-lingual translators for their foreign patients.
Due to the increased healthcare tourism in Turkey, the
Turkish airlines provide a special affordable package for all
international patients around the globe. The airlines provide
excellent medical facilities during the travelling and have all
necessary equipment for the ease of the patient.
Lastly, Turkey also offers some additional attractions, which
makes healthcare tourism in Turkey prevalent than any Western State,
not only for the patient but also to the caretaker or family member
with him or her. Turkey’s exotic and soul soothing environment
relaxes the patient from everyday tensions and ordeals of the harsh
medical treatments. The old heritage of the extinct civilizations of
Babylon, Sumer and Assyria can still be lived through its old
monuments and sites. Last year 2011, almost 31.5 million
international tourists were intrigued by Turkey’s glam and
modernity!
Turkish hospitals understand the difficulties of cancer
patients and aim to fully assist them in every way possible.
Different Turkish companies do not only ensure an affordable
low-cost cancer treatment but also plan a safe and satisfying
medical vacation to Turkey.
