Turkey Medicals SEES 2021 TO BE THE CRITICAL YEAR FOR HEALTH TOURISM
“Turkey is among the countries that stand out in Turkish health tourism and hospital prices in various respects. General tourism potential, the fact that our Turkish hospitals have met EU standards or the cost of medical operations is appropriate that makes Turkey an attractive hot spot. But the increase in revenue here depends on hospital investments. 2018 was an important year in this respect. In the next 2 years, our annual revenue is projected to increase from $ 4 billion to $ 9 billion with public and private sector investments. A possible pause could negatively affect the fate of health tourism in Turkey. Considering the 35 billion dollar 2023 target, the contribution of health tourism to the country’s economy is undeniable. Last year, 1 million 700 thousand patients came in 2020, we exceeded 400 thousand, our rising chart shows that this figure will reach 2 million patients in the next 2 years”
