Medical Tourism is simply when patients journey to another country seeking medical care, this patient is referred to as Medical Tourist.

Dental care, cosmetic surgery, fertility treatments, spinal problems, hair transplant, weight loss, and skincare are very common procedures that medical tourists undergo on medical tourism trips.

The necessity of taking care of one’s health can be costly and sometimes be a financial burden for many people. The increased medical costs, increased insurance premiums, long waiting lists for surgeries through the public health system, and the unavailability of high-quality medical services at an affordable price are important factors that drive medical tourists across borders for medical care.

Traveling to another country for medical treatment can be a challenging task, especially for medical tourists experiencing healthcare travel abroad for the first time.

The Turkish culture has been cultivated over millennia, interacting with many cultures of the Mediterranean, Europe, Middle East, and Asia, bringing together various customs, especially during Ottoman Empire times. Around 99% of Turkey’s population is Muslim with most belonging to the Sunni branch of Islam, and religious events such as Ramadan are widely and festively celebrated. Turks are renowned for their friendliness and hospitability and are perhaps one of the only nations that embody diverse aspects of Eastern and Western culture somewhat seamlessly. The villages of Turkey tend to be very traditional and modest, whereas large cities such as Istanbul are a unique blend of European and oriental influences. Travellers will not only discover plenty of mosques, hammams, and Turkish coffee shops, but also nightlife, and modern stores of all kinds. You will find incredible mosques, ancient Ionic cities named after Alexander the Great, thousand-year-old Roman ruins, cities carved underground by the early Christians, and a most-colorful cultural adventure awaiting you
