10 Essential Questions to Ask Before Traveling to Turkey for Surgery

Thinking about getting surgery in Turkey? You're not alone.
Every year, thousands of people choose Turkey for medical procedures due to its combination of world-class healthcare, affordable prices, and experienced surgeons. But before booking your flight, it's crucial to ask the right questions to ensure your experience is safe, comfortable, and successful.

Here are the 10 most important questions to ask before planning your medical journey to Turkey:

1. Is the clinic or hospital accredited?
   Make sure the facility is approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health and preferably has international accreditations like JCI (Joint Commission International). This ensures high standards of care and safety.
2. Who will be my surgeon?
   Ask about your surgeon’s qualifications, experience, and whether they hold the title of Professor or equivalent. A transparent clinic will gladly provide this information.
3. What is included in the treatment package?
   Clarify whether the price includes accommodation, airport transfers, pre- and post-operative care, lab tests, medication, and aftercare garments.
4. Will there be language support?
   Make sure there are English-speaking (or your preferred language) coordinators or translators available during your entire stay, from consultations to hospital discharge.
5. Where will the surgery take place?
   Ensure that surgeries are performed in fully equipped, A-class hospitals with intensive care units and 24/7 emergency support.
   
6. What happens if something goes wrong?
   Ask about the revision policy, complication management, and emergency procedures. A trustworthy clinic will have clear answers and backup plans.
7. How long should I stay in Turkey?
   Your recovery time matters. Be sure to know how many nights you’ll need to stay in the hospital and at your hotel before it's safe to travel back.
8. What kind of aftercare do you provide?
   Aftercare is essential for healing. Will the clinic follow up with you after you return home? Are there WhatsApp or email check-ins available for weeks or months after?
9. Can I see patient reviews and before-after photos?
   Real feedback from previous patients and visual proof of results are the most honest indicators of a clinic’s work and ethics.
10. Is the company legally authorized for health tourism?
    Only licensed health tourism agencies in Turkey are allowed to coordinate surgeries for international patients. Always check if the company is officially registered with the Ministry of Health.
