TURKEY, THE SHINING DESTINATION OF AESTHETIC SURGERY IN HEALTH TOURISM
ISTANBUL, THE NEW CAPITAL OF AESTHETIC SURGERY
Turkey
Turkey is geographically located in the middle of Asia, Europe and Africa. Throughout history, it has been the cradle of trade, agriculture, art, different civilizations. It is like a living museum and summary of all the continents where the old world, the eastern and western civilizations, the old and the new, the modern and the traditional coexist.
Due to these features, Turkey is one of the world's leading destinations in international tourism. After France, Spain and Spain, Turkey is the 3rd country in the EU region and the 4th most foreign tourist country in the world.
Medical and Health Services in Turkey
Turkey has a long tradition of medical and surgical education and practice. Turkish medicine, which has the same tradition as the pioneers of world medical history such as Ibn Sina and Farabi, whom Europe calls Avicenna, has become one of the best medical schools in the world with the infrastructure and institutionalization it has created in the last 170 years by enriching itself with German and French medical schools during the Turkish modernization period.
The medical faculties opened in many regions of the country train physicians, nurses, technical and auxiliary health personnel at world standards. 85 million Turkish citizens can benefit from free and equal public health institutions without limitation.
Turkey's Irrepressible Rise in Health Tourism
In the last 20-25 years, in parallel with public health institutions, Turkey has made huge investments in the private health system by targeting health tourism. Since the beginning of the 2000s, it has started to receive health tourism patients from Asia, Europe and Africa, where it is at the center with an ever-increasing momentum.
Turkey has created health institutions that are extremely modern and newly built, have the most advanced medical infrastructure, are incomparably advanced with hotel management and accommodation services and health institutions in the EU and North America, and provide 5-star hotel services of health.
Just like in tourism, with the momentum it has achieved in the last 20 years in health tourism, Turkey has become one of the top 4 or 5 countries providing the best health tourism services in its geographies as a whole with its well-trained and experienced physicians and nurses, health technical personnel and support personnel, accommodation and hotel services. Moreover, in terms of price and accessibility in Turkey, high-level surgical and hotel services can be provided under very economical conditions compared to the EU region.
WHY IS TURKEY A VERY GOOD OPTION FOR AESTHETIC SURGERY? WHY IS ISTANBUL A VERY GOOD OPTION FOR AESTHETIC SURGERY?
There are extremely well trained and very experienced plastic surgeons in Turkey!
One of the important conditions of surgical specialty training in Turkey is to work throughout the specialty training in public institutions, to see and enter as many cases as possible under the supervision of the heads of the educational departments. For this purpose, public universities, training and research hospitals opened for public service provide free services for citizens. When aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon in Turkey receives his specialization, he cannot work in a private hospital or in his own clinic immediately. Must perform public service in a state health institution for at least 2 years. An aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon in Turkey is probably much more experienced than his EU citizen colleagues when he receives his surgical qualification. An EU citizen sees the case that his colleague can see in an average of 5-6 years in 1-2 years during the public service and surgical hand skills have developed at this rate.
Nurses and health support staff as well as plastic surgeons in Turkey are well trained and experienced!
Especially in the field of aesthetic surgery, the knowledge and experience of nurses and other auxiliary personnel is important as well as the doctor who provides surgical services. The preparation of the patient for the aesthetic surgery operation, the health services to be provided after the operation, and the other services received by the patient should be coordinated as a whole.
Moreover, if the patient has come from another country for aesthetic surgery, these processes need to be meticulously programmed, applied and followed.
You can get a very good service in the management of transfer and accommodation from tourism in Turkey and the management of medical processes and the coordination of all of them.
Turkey, with its investments in hospitals and clinics in the last 20 years, has the newest and most modern healthcare infrastructure of the EMEA region
Being able to do health tourism in Turkey depends on the permission to be granted as a result of the serious inspections of the Ministry of Health. Especially hospitals and clinics can officially carry out health tourism activities by meeting these high standards. In Turkey, both chain hospitals, hospitals and clinic owner physicians must have national and international quality accreditations in order to have the qualification to perform health tourism established by the Ministry of Health according to EU standards. Turkey is one of the countries with the most hospitals with JCI standards in the world.
Most of the organizations engaged in health tourism in Turkey serve in new and modern buildings. Accommodation and hotel management services are of the quality of a tourism hotel in a way that is not expected from a hospital rather than a hospital.
In this sense, the staff other than the health service personnel are very well hosted and solution-oriented.
When you come to Turkey for health tourism for aesthetic purposes, there are also small holiday and cultural tourism getaways for your companion, your family and even you. Why not?
Especially in health services based on the wishes of people such as aesthetic operations, patients coming from abroad and their companions do not have to wait in the hospital and hotel room during the preparation phase for surgery or until the controls after surgery. Istanbul, which is the capital of health tourism especially for aesthetic purposes, offers great opportunities! Many opportunities that Istanbul has to offer, such as history, gastronomy, the Bosphorus, palaces, architecture, exhibitions, museums, can combine the health tourism experience with a great cultural holiday experience at the same time.

At the intersection of Europe, Africa and Asia, Turkey and Istanbul is a city that exists on two continents in the world! There can't be a better geography to beautify, renew and rejuvenate, right?
