Why do patients choose Turkish clinics for neurology treatment?
Turkey is the world leader in neurology medical tourism. Turkish clinics attract with their equipment, doctors’ qualifications, compliance with international standards, organized service and convenience for foreign patients.
Advanced Turkish Neurological Equipment
Turkish clinics are equipped with the best neurological equipment from German, American and Korean manufacturers. The devices are serviced by authorized dealers, MRI and CT are renewed every 5 years. Turkish hospitals have everything you need to carry out a complete neurological diagnosis without queues and with a guarantee of quality results:
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) 3 Tesla allows examining neoplasms of the nervous system less than 0.5 mm in size.
- CT (computed tomography) of 256+ slices allows you to accurately reconstruct the vascular system of the brain.
- A laboratory with gene and immunological reagents allows you to accurately determine the presence of genetic mutations, the patient’s tendency to certain neurological drugs, as well as to accurately identify immune disorders of the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis.
- PET-CT of the brain with glucose allows you to determine the functional activity of parts of the brain by their glucose consumption — it helps in the diagnosis of neoplasms and functional disorders, such as epilepsy.
Competitive prices for medical services in Turkey
Neurology diagnostics in Turkey is cheaper than in countries with the same high level of medical development. Even with expensive brain surgeries, the total travel budget for treatment in Turkey is lower due to savings on non-medical components.
Prices for accommodation and medical care in a hospital, for renting an operating room, for food, fees for doctors and nurses all affect the final cost of treatment.
Convenient flights and easy border crossing
Turkish clinics are especially convenient for neurological patients due to:
- Direct flights from anywhere in the world at any time of the day or night;
- Organized transport from the airport to the hotel for MedTour patients;
- Visa-free visits to the country.
International quality standards for neurological treatment
All major clinics in Istanbul are certified by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) and the American Joint International Commission (JCE). Minor checks are carried out annually. General assessment of equipment, doctors’ qualifications, organization of the treatment process — all this is carried out at least once every 5 years.
Turkish doctors treat neurological pathology according to the standards of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), American Association of Neurology (ANS), European Association of Neurological Communities (EANS). In Turkey, neurological summits are annually held with international participation of leaders of the direction.
This ensures a high bar for the quality of medical services for neurological patients and careful monitoring of compliance with these standards in Turkey.
