Medical tourism has become a rapidly developing sector in Turkey: 700,000 people visited the country in 2017. In 2008, 75,000 people visited Turkey for medical tourism. In 10 years, this figure has increased tenfold. In 2018, the number of visitors approached one million. Many people come to Turkey because of the cost, quality, waiting time and opportunities in the health sector. Turkey provides better quality treatment at lower costs compared to Europe, the United States and other Western countries. Some operations are 90 percent cheaper than in other countries. In Turkey, patient waiting period is at most two weeks excluding transplantation, but in Western countries this period can reach 18 months. Visitors coming to Turkey, especially from Europe, the Gulf Countries, Russia and the Turkic republics, generally prefer Istanbul, Antalya, the Mediterranean holiday destination, and Ankara, the capital. According to the International Medical Travel Journal (IMTJ), Turkey ranks third after the USA and South Korea in the field of medical tourism. The target is to receive two million visitors for health tourism by 2023.
