Top 10 Medical Tourism Clinics in 2025

Which hospitals top the list for medical check-ups in 2025, and how can you travel for treatment during a pandemic? MedTour has picked ten leading international clinics for diagnostics and therapy abroad.

«Medical Travel» magazine notes that roughly 30 million patients seek care outside their home countries because they cannot obtain the procedures they need locally. For many years Israeli, Turkish, European, and South Korean clinics have remained the first choice for people who face limited treatment options at home.

Overseas hospitals offer therapies that are still unavailable in many national health systems. Among them are minimally invasive robotic procedures on the da Vinci system and cutting-edge biopsy techniques that Turkish centers provide at competitive prices.

The main concern for most patients is how to reach a clinic abroad. MedTour can arrange your trip to any of the featured hospitals within 48 hours. You settle all medical fees directly at the clinic’s cashier. Leave a request on the MedTour website – our coordinating physician will call you back and guide you through every step.

Anadolu Medical Center in Turkey

Although Anadolu follows American standards of care, its prices remain affordable for patients worldwide. A doctor’s consultation costs $120, while a CyberKnife session is priced at $9,000 – nearly half the cost of the same procedure in Israel.
