WellMap in Turkey: Business Trip Highlights & Trust-Building Clinic Verification

WellMap’s Clinical Audit in Istanbul

In June, the WellMap team visited Istanbul — a flagship destination for global medical tourism. Our mission: conduct on-site inspections of clinics, renew partnerships, and forge new collaborations. One of our key revisits was the Liv Hospital network, a multidisciplinary medical institution accredited by JCI and TÜV, serving over 2.5 million international patients from 182 countries.

This hands-on audit is core to our policy: before we recommend any clinic, we personally verify service quality and medical standards. This is vital as Turkey’s medical tourism industry continues to expand as a major hub for high-quality paid medical care.

Turkey: A Global Medical Tourism Leader

• In the first half of 2024, over 2 million international patients traveled to Turkey for treatment.
• The sector’s revenue is projected to reach $3 billion by the end of 2024, up from 1.4 million patients and $2.3 billion revenue in 2023.
• Around 40% of medical tourists come from Europe — notably Germany, the UK, and the Baltics — seeking dentistry, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, transplants, and top-tier IVF programs.

Competitive strengths of Turkish clinics include:

• High concentration of internationally accredited hospitals (JCI, TÜV)
• End-to-end international patient support: coordinators, visa handling, transfers
• Cost-effective healthcare — treatments are 40–70% cheaper than in Western Europe while maintaining excellence
• Government-backed initiatives bolstering the national medical tourism infrastructure

For WellMap, Turkey is a top-priority destination for both medical tourism routes and trusted clinic partnerships.

Growth of the WellMap Platform

• WellMap currently covers 57 countries, enabling users to compare trusted clinics, treatment packages, and prices in areas like dental care, cosmetic surgery, hair transplantation, and health check-ups.
• By the end of 2025, we aim to list 5,000 accredited clinics on our platform.

Our mission: deliver transparency, comparison capabilities, and ease of planning for international patients seeking safe and efficient medical routes abroad.
