The 10 Best Hospitals in Turkey for International Patients
With a patient-centric approach, multilingual staff, and world-class facilities, Turkey’s top-rated facilities provide a seamless and comfortable experience for international patients.
1. Anadolu Medical Center, Gebze
Accredited by JCI, ESMO, and Planetree, Anadolu Medical Center is one of the most clinically credentialed hospitals in Turkey for international patients seeking complex care.
In partnership with Johns Hopkins Medicine, a formal affiliation maintained since 2002, it excels in cancer care, cardiovascular health, IVF, and neurological sciences, offering personalised treatment plans developed with input from Hopkins specialists.
With 201 beds and over 600 medical professionals, including 250 specialised oncologists, Anadolu has genuine depth in its clinical teams, not just headline numbers.
It features 8 operating rooms and technologies including CyberKnife, da Vinci robotic systems, TrueBeam, and PET CT for laparoscopic procedures and precise diagnosis.
Since 2010, the Bone Marrow Transplantation Centre has the capacity to run simultaneous transplants for 22 patients, one of the few units in the region capable of that volume.
Anadolu provides multilingual staff, on-site accommodation options, and airport transfers coordinated for patients arriving from abroad.

2. Acibadem Hospital, Istanbul
Acibadem houses 22,500 medical professionals and 3,336 beds, serving around 5,000,000 patients annually. That reflects a group that has been operating at high international patient volume for 20+ years
It excels in cancer treatment, heart care, kidney and liver transplants, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, spine treatments, and FIFA-accredited sports medicine.
Equipped with the Mako Rio Robotic Arm, Navio Knee Robot, and Vitalbeam®, Acibadem delivers precision across surgical and oncological procedures that few Turkish hospitals can match at this scale.
Overseas patients have access to Acibadem International's one-stop centre, with dedicated staff and personal interpreters assigned before arrival. Coordination is not an afterthought here; it is a built infrastructure.

3. Medipol University Hospital, Istanbul
Medipol is a university group hospital with genuine research depth, not a standalone private facility. That distinction matters for complex cases.
It is distinguished for oncology, neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, organ transplantation, IVF, and dentistry.
The Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Centre collaborates with specialist physicians for conditions that many do not treat with dedicated teams.
With 470 beds, a 133-bed ICU, and 25 operating rooms, Medipol runs the Pyxis Medication Management System and a digital archive PACS for records, practical infrastructure that matters for international patients managing post-discharge follow-up from home.
International patients have access to second medical opinion services, coordinated through the international patient office before travel is confirmed.

4. Memorial Hospital, Istanbul
Memorial has 1,300+ physicians and 7,300 healthcare professionals across its group, and has treated international patients from 167 countries.
It is also the first private hospital in Turkey to receive JCI accreditation in 2002, the 21st globally to do so.
It excels in spine care, kidney and liver transplants, paediatric bone marrow transplants, oncology, cardiovascular surgery, and weight loss surgery.
Memorial performed Turkey's first kidney transplant using the Da Vinci XI robotic system. Advanced oncology technologies include TrueBeam STx and Elektra Versa HD Signature for precise cancer treatments.
The O Arm is available for enhanced intraoperative imaging, HoLEP for minimally invasive prostate surgery, and the Ilizarov method for complex bone repairs.
The MR Linac at the Maslak flagship campus, with real-time MRI guidance during radiotherapy, is available at fewer than 30 hospitals globally.
For patients with mobile or difficult-to-target tumours, this is not a marketing claim. It changes the clinical calculus.
Multilingual staff, on-site accommodation options, and transportation are available for patients from abroad.

5. Turan Turan Health Group, Bursa

- Orthobiologics
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Sports medicine
- Paediatric orthopaedics
- Orthopaedic spine care

8. Quartz Clinique, Istanbul
Quartz Clinique is a specialist cosmetic and aesthetic centre, which means it offers the focused expertise of a team that does one thing well, at scale. 6,500+ patients per year.
Specialising in plastic surgery, dermatology, urological surgery, and hair transplants, Quartz was the first medical aesthetics clinic in Turkey to introduce Thermage FLX technology.
Ulthera for non-invasive skin tightening and Morpheus8 microneedling are also available.
Post hair transplant, the clinic provides complimentary prescriptions including specialist shampoos and lotions as part of recovery.
That level of aftercare specificity is rarer than it should be. Breast surgeries, augmentation, reduction, lift, and tummy tucks are consistently highly rated by international patients.

9. Memorial Hospital Cosmetic Department, Istanbul
Memorial Hospital's Cosmetic Department draws on the same clinical infrastructure that makes Memorial a leading transplant and oncology centre, but applied to aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Specialising in rhinoplasty, liposuction, face and brow lifts, abdominoplasty, and breast augmentation, lift, and reduction, the department delivers results within a fully accredited setting, which matters for patients who want both aesthetic expertise and the reassurance of a major clinical institution behind them.
Post-operative care is coordinated from consultation through to recovery, with the same multilingual support infrastructure available across the Memorial group.

Planning Your Trip to Turkey for Treatment: Visa, Flights & What to Expect
Everything you need to plan your trip, from visa to the day you fly home.
Medical Visa for Turkey
Citizens of over 90 countries, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Canada, and Nigeria, can enter on an e-Visa obtained online before departure.
It costs around $50 and takes 24-72 hours via the official Turkish government portal.
Patients who need a visa from an embassy, including most East African, West African, and South Asian nationals, should start at least three weeks before travel.
Once treatment is confirmed, the hospital issues an official invitation letter, which we help you obtain. That letter significantly strengthens your application.
Getting There
Istanbul is served by two major airports: Istanbul Airport (IST), one of the busiest in the world, and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. Anadolu Medical Center in Gebze is closer to SAW.
