When you want to have your holiday abroad, you definitely read and search a lot on the Internet about the country you wish to visit. Does the country have a lot of touristic attractions such as museums, historical places, shopping malls? Or is the country safe? Are the hotels clean and cheap? Can I find the good food that suits my diet? All these questions are possible to have when you plan to visit another country for a short period of time. Now think about having your medical treatment abroad. That is much more difficult decision rather than having a holiday.

 

Since the last decade of this century, more people have started to have their medical treatment abroad when compared to the past.

Turkey has become one of the countries that attracts a lot of patients around the world.

Even if Turkey hosts a lot of patients from all around the world, some people still can be biased towards Turkey. Here are the three most common misconceptions about health tourism in Turkey:

Having your medical treatment in Turkey will save you up to 75%-90% compared to costs in your country. However, you might be doubtful about paying less for your treatment. Low price is generally seen as a bad quality. However, in Turkey, most of the medical treatments, especially aesthetic surgeries, cost lower when compared to other countries. In other words, getting your self-confidence by having medical treatment in Turkey is cheap but with a good quality.

 

 

Turkey is a country that embraces Asia and Europe.
