Before travelling to Türkiye for treatment, confirm who will assess and treat you, where care will take place, what the written plan includes, how complications and follow-up will be handled, and when the treating team says it is safe to fly. Keep copies of your records, prescriptions and consent documents. Travel arrangements should follow the clinical plan—not determine it.
What to confirm before you book
- Identify the treating facility and professional before payment.
- Confirm the procedure, alternatives, material risks and expected follow-up in writing.
- Carry relevant records, medicines and allergy information; obtain discharge and procedure records before returning.
- Plan flights, accommodation and local support around advice from the treating team.
Ask for a written plan
The written plan should identify the treating facility and professional, explain what is included, state the follow-up route and separate clinical decisions from travel coordination.

Frequently asked questions
- Does accreditation guarantee a successful result?
- No. Accreditation can help you check organisational standards, but it does not guarantee a complication-free procedure or a particular result.
- Who decides when I can fly home?
- The treating healthcare professional should decide this after considering the procedure, your condition and your recovery.
