Health Tourism & Turkey
What is Health Tourism?
The length of waiting time in some countries, the very high prices of treatments, or the fact that they go to other countries for treatment or check-up to get better quality health care with advanced technology devices or experienced physicians and health workers.
This concept has been confused with the tourist's health since its inception. Tourist health covers the illness and treatment of people who come to other countries for a temporary period from abroad.
In the last 10 years, the number of medical tourists who went to other countries in the world for various reasons to meet their health needs has exceeded 10 million.
Health Tourism in Turkey started about 20 years ago and medical tourists started to come from many countries of the world to get quality and affordable health care services, and sometimes both to get health services and to discover the beauties of Turkey as a tourist attraction.
