International Patients
International treatment requires more than flights and accommodation. It needs verified providers, individual assessment, realistic time in Istanbul, written discharge information and a plan for care after returning home.
The journey
01
Share goals, questions and relevant history.
02
Provide photographs, medicines and records requested for preliminary review.
03
Confirm who will assess and treat you and where care will take place.
04
Allow time for consultation, tests, treatment, monitoring and review.
05
The responsible clinician confirms or changes the preliminary plan.
06
Proceed only after understanding alternatives, risks, costs and follow-up.
07
Receive medicines, warning signs, contacts and written instructions.
08
Maintain access to appropriate local assessment when required.
Travel and clinical decisions
Check passport and visa requirements, travel insurance terms, medication transport, mobility needs and the possibility that assessment may change or cancel treatment.
Only the responsible clinical team can advise fitness to fly. Procedure type, recovery, wound condition, clot risk and flight duration all matter.
Continuity of care
Before treatment, establish which reviews occur in Istanbul, who receives questions after discharge, which symptoms require urgent care, how records will be shared and what local follow-up may be needed. Remote photographs can support communication but cannot replace an examination when one is clinically required.
