What is Medical Tourism?
Medical Tourism is the globalization phenomenon where people who live in one country travel to another country to receive medical, dental, and/or surgical care.
Medical travelers often engage in medical tourism to save money, but this does not mean they are sacrificing quality for savings. Medical tourists typically receive equal or greater care than they would have in their own country, and are traveling for medical care because of affordability, or better access to a higher or more specialized quality of care.
“Domestic Medical Tourism” is a subsection of medical tourism where patients do not leave their country, but travel to another city, region, or state to receive medical care.
Is Medical Tourism Safe?
The concept of traveling to a foreign country to receive medical treatment may
appear daunting, but when the journey is arranged through a respected,
knowledgeable and trustworthy agency with established relationships with the most respected medical facilities in the world, it is as safe as seeking treatment at home.
Why is it positive to use the services of a Medical Tourism Facilitator?
A Medical Tourism Facilitator (MTF) provides you with the necessary information you need to make the best decision when choosing where to find your treatment.
Moreover, an MTF books your consultation, helps you find accommodation depending on your needs, informs you about how everything works and helps you with the procedure.

See “Privacy Policy”.
Can PalCare Turkey provide me with medical advice or opinion?
No, PalWellness is not a medical provider. Therefore, we cannot provide you with medical advice.
As a patient, can I decide where and when to have my treatment?
Of course, it is completely up to you. PalWellness just informs you about the available services, treatments, procedures, check-ups, etc. enabling you to make the best decision.
Where are PalCare Turkey services available?
PalWellness is a company specialised in Turkey as a medical destination. while our services are mostly available in Ä°stanbul, we also work with hospitals in different Turkish cities in case you would like to spend your treatment/vacation in a different location other than Ä°stanbul.
Will the language be a problem?
PalWellness will appoint a professional who speaks your language to work as an interpreter during the consultations – if necessary – and, when needed, to help you during your stay.
Is it really affordable?
It may seem that once you factor in the cost of airfare for you and your companion, accommodations, meals, and other travel-related expenses, not to mention the cost of the procedure itself, the cost savings might be
negligible. This is a misconception. In many cases, even when patients fly halfway around the world even with their companions, and stay at top hotels, they are still saving huge sums of money as compared to having received care in North America and recover at home.
Medical tourism is more affordable for many reasons. Many times a favorable currency exchange rate means significant savings for those with U.S. dollars. In most cases, the costs are lower simply because the countries where medical tourism is popular offer healthcare without all of the unnecessary costs that have become a sad reality of the U.S. healthcare system
