Turkey's Healthcare System OverviewTurkey's healthcare system consists of both public healthcare and personal care. With the implementation of the universal health insurance system, all households registered with the Social Security Organization are able to receive universal free medical care in the hospital outpatient clinics cooperating with the SGK, including accidents at work, professional occupational diseases, healthcare medical care, illnesses, disability and pregnancy, etc., and the insured have the right to receive old-age pension when they pay all the bills within a specific period of time in order to reach a specific age.
Meanwhile, Turkey has a large personal health care system with a large and well-staffed network of private hospitals and outpatient clinics with English-speaking medical staff, and the number of private hospitals in Turkey has increased by 102% from 2004 to the present, and the government has invested more than 25 billion dollars in private hospitals. Istanbul has world-class personal health services, which are more cost-effective than private health services in Europe and the United States.
Under Turkey's new health care management system, foreigners who have been living in Turkey for one year and have a resident's card are able to enjoy Turkey's convenient health care services with a monthly contribution of only 200 rupees. The payment of social security contributions is mandatory for the majority of foreigners, and a very small number of foreigners are able to pay on their own.
Turkey's medical conditions are superbpublic data show that Turkey has 1500 several hospital outpatient clinics, in which 2/3 of the public three hospitals, 1/3 of the private hospitals, the general hospital beds 20 quintal, in which the public three hospitals 16 quintal, the government department aims to increase within five years, 3 quintal. Turkey has 46 Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospitals, making Turkey the third strongest country in terms of JCI accredited hospitals (excluding the United States).
JCI norms are globally recognized health service norms that represent the highest values of hospital care and health management, both of which are accreditation models recognized by the World Health Organization. In addition, Turkey has been looking to add the European Union in recent years. As a result, government and private designated healthcare institutions strictly adhere to quality, technical medical care and norms, which are then continuously tested by an independent monitoring body set up by the Ministry of Health.
Turkey diagnosis and treatment of quality and inexpensiveTurkey's best thing medical projects contain cardiovascular diseases, liver transplantation, diagnosis and treatment of cancer (oncology), brain surgery, orthopedics, oral clinic, medical aesthetic plastic surgery, hair implantation and so on.
Because of the low cost and high quality of medical services, more and more patients from Europe and the Middle East are coming to Turkey for medical treatment. For example, according to public data, a heart valve surgery in the United States costs about 150,000 dollars, while in Turkey it is only 17,000 dollars. And while the waiting time for patients in Turkey is up to two weeks (excluding grafts), it is likely to be 18 months in other countries.
Turkey's Tourism Development Board Chairman Emin?akmak has told the Turkish newspaper Freedom: "On average, 5,000 patients arrive in Turkey every month just to have a hair transplant. Most of the patients originate from Europe and our Arab country. Such figures are predicted to double in the next decade."
In fact, the probability of success of a hair transplant without a scar is also very high in Europe and the United States, but it is far less competitive than in Turkey, due to the country's low prices. In the United States, the same surgical treatment can cost up to $25,000 for the surgeon alone. In London, England, each hair transplant must be $ 3500 to ￡ 5000, the overall treatment process out is likely to cost a minimum of ￡ 14,000.
