Turkey treatment checklist: 10 checks before you pay

A practical checklist for patients comparing clinics in Turkey. It does not replace medical advice; it helps you ask the right questions and keep evidence.

Before you pay

  1. Confirm the facility is on the Ministry of Health authorised-facility list and write down its licence number.
  2. Ask which surgeon will perform the procedure and confirm their specialty and registration.
  3. Request accreditation certificates (TÜSKA, JCI, ISO) and check them with the issuing body.
  4. Ask whether complication insurance is included and who covers follow-up treatment.
  5. Get a written, itemised quote: procedure, anaesthesia, medication, hotel, transfer and revision policy.
  6. Ask explicitly what is not included in the package.
  7. Confirm the recovery timeline and the minimum stay in Turkey.
  8. Ask for the aftercare plan, emergency contact and who answers questions after you return home.
  9. Check that the clinic address matches the address on the licence and official registry record.
  10. Keep copies of every document, quote and payment receipt; do not pay in full before written confirmation.
