Turkish Airlines Supports Medical Tourism

October 22, 2009

The medical tourism market in the world has been rapidly growing in recent years. In order to increase share of Turkish Health Care establishments in the market and support national economy, Turkish Airlines has prepared a support program for Health Care Establishments who invest in medical tourism.

The program offers special discounts and incentives for those who come to Turkey for medical treatments. Protocols have already been signed with majority of JCI (Joint Commission International) accredited health care establishments in Turkey.

Along with 32 JCI accredited hospitals, substantial cost advantages help Turkey become one of the most preferred countries in medical care. Turkey offers savings up to 75 to 90% comparing the treatment costs in the USA. Turkish Airlines wants Turkey to be among one of the leading destinations for medical tourism.

In this context, it offers the following to patients and their companions who travel to Turkey for medical treatment purposes:

Travels from the USA to Turkey: Up to 25% discounts* on first, business* and economy class system fares will be applied. Transatlantic travel between USA and Turkey must be on Turkish Airlines flight.
Travel from other countries to Turkey: 20% discount* on first, business and economy class system fares will be applied.
10kg excess luggage allowance will be issued for the patient and companions*.
Maximum 2 companions traveling with the patient are entitled for the same discount.
Waiver of penalties for treatment-related changes of date.

Passengers travelling for medical purposes are required to present an acceptance letter made by receiving Health Care Establishment who signed the protocol in order to take advantage of the discounts. Patients travelling from the USA are also allowed for the discount by presenting a referral letter from a Health Care Establishment in the USA. Discounts are only applied at Turkish Airlines offices unless otherwise specified.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
