General Medical in Turkey
The care you need, without the wait
For many UK patients, accessing treatment through the NHS means months of waiting, and through private healthcare it can mean costs that are simply out of reach. Turkey offers a genuine alternative: internationally accredited hospitals with experienced consultant teams, modern facilities and significantly lower costs than UK private healthcare. Medstar arranges treatment for a broad range of medical conditions through our network of partner hospitals across Antalya, Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Bodrum and Kayseri. Whether you are seeking a second opinion, a medical check-up, treatment for a diagnosed condition, or access to specialist care not readily available at home, we can help you navigate the options and arrange everything.

Why Turkey
Why patients travel to Turkey for medical treatment
Turkey has invested heavily in its healthcare infrastructure over the past two decades, with significant government funding directed at hospitals, technology and clinical training. The result is a network of internationally accredited hospitals that match European standards in many specialisms, at costs that are typically 50 to 80% lower than equivalent UK private treatment. For patients facing long NHS waiting lists for orthopaedic procedures, cancer diagnostics or specialist surgery, Turkey offers faster access to high-quality care with full clinical documentation and follow-up support.
The procedures
What we can arrange for you.
Oncology and cancer treatment
Diagnosis, staging, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical oncology at specialist cancer centres. Many patients travel for a second opinion, for faster access to treatment, or because costs in Turkey are significantly lower than UK private oncology care.
Orthopaedic surgery and joint replacement
Hip replacement, knee replacement, shoulder surgery and spinal procedures at specialist orthopaedic units. Turkey has experienced orthopaedic surgeons using current-generation implants and prosthetics, with rehabilitation support included.
Medical check-ups and health screening
Comprehensive health assessments covering cardiovascular, oncological screening, diabetes, liver and kidney function, hormonal panels and full imaging. A full executive health check in Turkey typically costs a fraction of equivalent UK private screening packages.
General surgery and specialist procedures
Laparoscopic and open surgery, urology, gastroenterology, cardiology consultation and a broad range of specialist procedures. Our partner hospitals cover most medical specialisms and can accommodate most planned treatment requirements.

Your journey
How general medical treatment works
The process starts with your free consultation with Medstar. You share your medical history, diagnosis and what you are looking for. We then identify the right hospital and consultant for your specific needs, obtain a treatment plan and cost estimate, and arrange everything from flights and accommodation to transfers and in-hospital support. Your UK coordinator remains your point of contact before, during and after your visit.
Named UK coordinator
One person from first call to final follow-up. Never a call centre.
Accredited clinics only
Personally vetted by Kseniya. Government accredited for international patients.
Aftercare at home
We stay with you after you return. Recovery calls, UK GP liaison if needed.
All-inclusive pricing
Hotel, transfers, all clinical fees. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Safety and standards
Is medical treatment in Turkey safe?
The partner hospitals Medstar works with hold international accreditation and have experienced consultant teams across most medical specialisms. We work exclusively with large, established hospitals rather than smaller standalone clinics, because the infrastructure, safety protocols and clinical governance that major medical institutions provide are particularly important for complex medical treatments. Your UK coordinator remains your point of contact throughout and after your visit.
Government accredited
Every clinic we work with holds full government accreditation for international patients.
Personally vetted
Kseniya visits every clinic before recommending them. We do not list clinics we have not assessed.
UK aftercare
Your coordinator is available after you return home. We stay with you through recovery.
International standards
Partner hospitals meet JCI or equivalent international accreditation standards.
Common questions
Straight answers.
Yes. Our partner hospitals have oncology departments and specialist consultants. Many patients travel for diagnosis, a second opinion, or to access treatment more quickly and at lower cost than UK private healthcare.
Your Turkish hospital will provide full clinical documentation, discharge summaries and treatment records. UK GPs and consultants can use this documentation to continue your care at home. Your Medstar coordinator can help facilitate communication between your UK and Turkish clinical teams if needed.
Most planned treatment can be arranged within two to six weeks of your initial consultation, depending on the procedure and clinical requirements. We will discuss a realistic timeline during your free consultation.
Your Medstar coordinator remains your point of contact. Your treating hospital in Turkey can provide video consultations for post-treatment follow-up, and we help coordinate with your UK GP or specialist if needed.
