No. Istanbul Medical Service is not a hospital or clinic. It provides organization and coordination support for international patients seeking healthcare services in Türkiye. Examinations, diagnoses, treatments and other medical procedures are carried out by authorized healthcare professionals at the relevant healthcare institutions.
The scope of support depends on the specialties available through the healthcare providers involved. Coordination may be available for aesthetic and plastic surgery, hair transplantation, dental care, ophthalmology, bariatric surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, general surgery, women’s health, urology, oncology, check-ups and other specialties. Availability should be confirmed for each request.
Türkiye is considered by many international patients because it has healthcare providers across a wide range of specialties, infrastructure serving international patients and extensive transport connections. However, a treatment decision should not be based on destination or price alone. Medical suitability, provider credentials, risks, alternatives and follow-up requirements should all be considered.
The process usually begins when you submit your request and available medical records. These may be shared with an appropriate healthcare provider for a preliminary evaluation. The proposed service, estimated schedule, appointments and, where applicable, travel, accommodation and transfers can then be coordinated. The final medical plan may change after an in-person examination or additional tests in Türkiye.
Istanbul Medical Service supports international patients in connecting with appropriate healthcare providers in Türkiye and planning the non-clinical aspects of their healthcare journey. Depending on the patient’s needs, support may include communication with providers, appointment coordination, travel planning, accommodation, transfers and interpretation. Medical examination, diagnosis and treatment are provided by the relevant licensed healthcare professionals and institutions.
