Turkey’s geographical and strategic position, approved service quality, climate, in 3 different continents, four-hour flight distance, to be able to access 1.5 billion people in the world doing the shining star of Turkey’s health tourism.
Why Turkey?

Patients do not choose Turkey as a priority because of the price ratios. the cost of medical treatment and operations in Turkey are quite affordable compared to many other Western European countries and developed countries. For example, in vitro fertilization treatment in the United States is approximately 15.000 to 16.000 USD, 2600 USD in Turkey; laser myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism ranged from medical operations such as in European countries from 4000 to 8000 EUR, 600 EUR in Turkey; open heart surgery this price level, while the average in European countries is 25,000 EUR 10,000 USD in first class hospitals in Turkey.
Retirees who have health problems due to high prices experienced in western Europe and other developed countries in health care after retirement also prefer Turkey to continue their lives. This situation leads to international retirement migration.
