Turkey Health System

Turkey Health System

The Turkish health system has a broad structure, providing services from both public and private sectors. Public health is managed by the Ministry of Health and provides health services such as public hospitals, family health centres. While public hospitals provide healthcare services at low cost for all citizens, services are also available for foreign investors and tourists through private health insurance.

The private health sector offers a wide range of options for those seeking quality service. Private hospitals, polyclinics and treatment centres are equipped with high technology and generally provide faster service. Access to health services in Turkey is usually provided through the Social Security Institution (SSI), but coverage can also be extended through private insurance.

Turkey has become an important destination, especially in terms of health tourism. In areas such as aesthetic surgery, dental treatments, hair transplantation, patients from abroad can receive high quality services at affordable prices. In addition, in recent years, hospitals in Turkey have gained international accreditations and have become recognised worldwide.
