CURE AND CARE IN TURKEY
Doctors' private clinics are mainly located between Şişli and Nişantaşı and
some even in the Etiler area. Must call before for appointments. You can have
contact informations of doctors qualified in specific areas by clicking
international hospitals.
Some doctors work part-time with a hospital and some only have private
practices.
For various needs there are
private
hospitals in İstanbul in almost every area.
Clinics that have private care and can be appropriate for small operations
can be found around Levent, Etiler, Nişantaşı and Şişli areas.
You can usually use your private insurance with the international hospitals
and private practices. Major insurance companies have also agreements with
pharmacies in central districts.
Turkey's geological structure is very suitable for natural cures. There
are 'kaplıcas' or spas around Bolu and Afyon and healing waters and mudbaths
in nature around many regions of Pamukkale and Antalya area. Even if you
can't stay away from the city there are also city
spas and private care centers in Istanbul stylishly designed under the city concept.
Last tip: Make sure to get more than one opinion from a physician as
everywhere else in the world.
