Medical prices Istanbul: Does it attribute a decrease in the share of hair transplant surgery in health tourism in Turkey to this? Yes, in fact, as we expected the number of people who came this year to be around one and a half million. The figures we can record are 750 thousand, but at least 2 times as many are under the stairs in Istanbul mostly and are considered unregistered. A visit was made to our Minister of health, last week regarding this issue, and this issue was raised. These arrangements need to be made as soon as possible so that we can get ahead of the teams going abroad. Clinically licensed parties are subject to and pay taxes. Therefore, their cost is rising. But the prices for hair surgery performed in unlicensed places and without a licensed doctor are very low. Especially with high money and uncontrolled advertising, these unskilled people are introduced as doctors and patients are deceived by pretending that unlicensed places are licensed. Unfortunately, this situation endangers the patient’s health and life, and our country is being unfairly denigrated. Because there is really no fault of our health workers who do this professionally.

Obesity surgery in Antalya is performed in overweight patients aims to reduce weight in patients with three main mechanisms: restricting food intake, reducing appetite, and disrupting the absorption of ingested foods. Gastric by-pass operations based on combination of these three mechanisms are sometimes performed, and sometimes sleeve gastrectomy operations are performed that restrict food intake and reduce appetite, which are known as tube stomach operations in society. In tubal gastric operations, 75-80 percent of the volume of the stomach along its large edge using a guide tube is removed using special incisor suturing devices. Thus, the volume of the stomach is reduced, so the volume of food taken is also limited. In addition, removing the dome part of the stomach, where there is a group of cells that secrete an appetite-enhancing hormone called ”Ghrelin”, also reduces appetite. With bidirectional effect, patients also undergo a healthy and rapid weight loss process with the follow-up of a dietitian in the postoperative period. Currently, it is a matter of debate which patients are eligible for obesity surgery. However, scientifically obesity body mass index ≥40kg/M2 or 35-40 kg/m2 and obesity associated with diabetes, hypertension, hepirlipidemi, fat in the liver, the problem of sleep apnea, joint pain, acid reflux, asthma, venous stasis, and applies to persons who have urinary incontinence as an additional illness.

“The fact that the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Culture and Tourism and TÜRSAB have created serious projects aimed at developing health tourism in recent years also encourages the private sector. Our country’s hospitals, which already provide health services above world standards, can get a chance to attract large investment with very small budgets by increasing their overseas promotions. The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium were until recently the countries that sent the most patients to Turkey for hair transplantation. The largest agencies were coming out of here and patients were choosing our country for hair transplantation. But in recent years, the star of an unexpected geography has also begun to shine in this regard. For example, Dubai has recently become one of the countries that sends the most hair transplant patients to Turkey. Of course, turkey’s foreign policy decisions have a very important share in this. Is not able to distinguish between them. Increasing business volume with Arab countries and the Middle East naturally affects the number of patients who come to Turkey for the purpose of affordable Turkish health tourism.“
