Center for International Patients (CIP)

Medical tourism has gained prominence in Turkey in recent years, with a steady rise in the number of foreign patients choosing medical packages that combine treatment with holiday and transportation. Due to high treatment costs and lengthy waiting lists in some foreign countries, individuals seek destinations offering high-quality treatment along with leisure activities.

The main reasons patients choose Turkey for treatment include:

  • High-quality medical services
  • Lower costs compared to their home country
  • Well-recognized physicians
  • Advanced medical technology
  • Turkey’s strong reputation as a world-class tourist destination

Group Florence Nightingale has led the healthcare industry in the region since 1989, establishing “Centers of Excellence” across its four hospitals and two medical centers. Each center is renowned for its expert treatment, surgery, and diagnostic capabilities, earning recognition not only in Turkey but throughout the region.

Aligned with the principle of “Committed to Excellence,” the Center for International Patients (CIP) at GFN serves patients globally, including regions such as the Middle East & Gulf, North Africa, Central Asia and the Caucasus, the Balkans, and Eastern Europe.

Ensuring Comfort and Personalized Care

As the CIP team, we strive to ensure the comfort and well-being of our patients!

From the initial inquiry, CIP team members review medical records with physicians, contact patients and/or relatives for further procedures, arrange transfers within Turkey, and coordinate hospital stays at Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals.

Recognizing the challenges of being a patient or accompanying one in a foreign country, native-speaking multilingual translators from the CIP team meet patients and their companions upon arrival at our hospitals, providing 24/7 direct assistance for both medical and non-medical needs in a culturally sensitive manner.

Medical and concierge services are personalized to meet the unique needs and expectations of every patient.

Ensuring Comfort and Personalized Care

In critical or urgent cases, the CIP team ensures immediate, privileged medical second opinions and fast-track appointment procedures, guaranteeing instant attention. All inquiries are responded to within 24 hours.

The CIP team is committed to delivering top-quality professional services, guided by key principles:
