Travelling to Istanbul for treatment: what to confirm before you book
A flight and a clinic appointment can be arranged quickly. A well-considered treatment journey takes more thought. Before paying a deposit or booking a ticket, make sure the clinical plan, the people responsible and the follow-up route are all clear enough to explain in your own words.
- Confirm the treating professional and facility before committing
- Read the proposed treatment, alternatives and exclusions in writing
- Plan travel around recovery rather than around sightseeing
- Agree how records, questions and follow-up will be handled
