About
Istanbul, Turkey
All the medical institutions VisitandCare.com cooperates with in Istanbul are located right in the heart of Istanbul, close in proximity to the entertainment, wining and dining, shopping and historic districts like Beyoglu, Nisantasi, Etiler, and Levent. The Historic Peninsula and banks of the Bosphorus are the two local destinations that should be visited during a typical daily tour in Istanbul. The city center is the best place to enjoy in your free time in Istanbul where you may feel the taste of both the east and the west embracing each other in a harmonious sense. TURKEY: A MEDICAL DESTINATION Turkey, a country in crossroads (as a developing country and literally between Europe and Asia ) stands is this picture, 1)As globalization has eased constraints on capital flows, investors in developing countries are looking beyond their geographical borders for investments with higher returns. 2)Turkey’s strategic location at the junction of Europe and Asia is a significant advantage in terms of attracting patients from around the world. Turkey is a major tourist destination ranking ninth globally and receiving approximately $17 billion tourists in 2006.[1] Thus, the government and the health care and tourism industry of Turkey have the name recognition advantage to position the country as a leading health travel destination. Source: UN World Tourism Organization –http://unwto.org/facts/eng/highlights.htm 3) Intercultural dimension: Diverse cultural, ethnical and religious communities lives in harmony. Collective experience on serving the needs of people from multicultural backgrounds makes it a seemless journey for medical travelers. 4) Turkey is one of the oldest and precious countries of the world , whose history goes back to 6000 BC. A unique mosaic that was the capital of such tree important empires that led the history of humanity as Roman, Byzantium and Ottoman, and that consists of numerous communities that have different languagesi religions and race from each other. 5) Vibrant democracy: Freedom for citizens and powered women population WHY TURKEY? There are a couple of reasons why Turkey has a advanced healthcare services: • Qualified human resources: experienced medical staff possessing English speaking skills • Turkey’s private medical infrastructure is now a well-built option in the global medical tourism arena. (22/147 JCI accredited hospitals) • Increasing international exposure with various International affiliations (HMI, John Hopkins, Methodist Hospital, MD Anderson, Cleveland Clinic etc.) which shows that they are uniting their local experience with international expertise We believe that, “the experience” is what matters today and for many, this is synonymous with service excellence for Acibadem. All of these services are delivered with Turkish Hospitality in AHG. Reviews for
Acibadem Healthcare Group: Infertility Treatment Center
One of our friends who lived in Turkey for 6 years suggested us to try getting out treatment in Turkey. When we met another friend who had treatment here with Cem Demirel and succeeded. We continued our communication and made a lot of research. Finally we decided to come. We tried IVF treatment several times for 9 years in our country but could not obtain any results. Our friend suggested Acıbadem as the best facility to receive healthcare treatment here in turkey. She had been in Acıbadem for her treatment also. We made a lot of search and finally decided to come to Acıbadem.
In Acıbadem, everything is very different from the health system in our country. Most essentially, we felt very safe and comfortable. Our first contact was with Assoc. Prof. Cem Demirel, he is such a gentleman. Whatever we had in mind; he explained any kind of questions with patience and full energy. He made us feel safe with his nice character, suggestions he made and all information he provided. Here in Turkey people are smiling. How we were treated at the hospital made us feel good. After the treatment when we found out that we were going to have 3 babies, Risky Pregnancies Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Arda Lembet greeted us with the same care and attention.
People here are really sincere and hospitable and they are always smiling. We even made new friends. At the hospital we become like a family after all this time. We certainly will come for holiday all together as a family in the future.
We are thankful to everyone. Acıbadem hospital and especially International Patient Center which made life easier for us throughout our stay in Turkey.

I was very content with the medical services of Acibadem Hospital.
I found the doctor very well trained,very professional. They are interested and caring in patients problems and they answer all your questions and try to solve all the problems.
The hospital has very good equipment and it's very clean.
Thanks you for all your help, I enjoyed staying here.

We find ourselves almost at the end of this trip and "adventure" at the same time. At the hospital everything went well and I really hope I'll be giving you good news in about 2 weeks as a result of our medical experience in Istanbul.
I would very much like you to send to everybody at the hospital, especially Prof. Dr. Cem Demirel, to Dr Deniz Gokalp, to Marina and Gonul Demir my sincere appreciation for all their impeccable professionalism and their kindness. Me and my husband we both felt very confident about the entire experience that we've had and also we felt very comfortable .Also we appreciated the familiarity that everybody showed us. We never felt like in a strange place and that was important for both of us, considering the emotional loading of this procedure.
So we thank from the bottom of our hearts to everybody.
We'd also like to thank the International Patient Center very much for all the help that they have given us, for all their availability and kindness. Certainly our entire trip would have been a lot difficult if it wasn't for all their help.
Thank you so much again!!!
