Medical tourism has come to prominence in Turkey recently, with a year-on-year increase in the number of foreign patients to choose medical packages that offer a combination of treatment, holiday and transportation. High treatment costs and long waiting lists in some foreign countries have impelled people to look for countries where they can receive high-quality treatment, as well as a visit for a vacation.

Main reasons for selecting Turkey for treatment include:

• the capacity for high-quality services,
• comparatively lower prices for the same service in the patient’s home country,
• well-recognized physicians,
• high-tech medical technology,
• Turkey’s reputation as a tourist destination.
