1. Turkey
Surprised? Turns out, many of Turkey’s doctors were trained in the United States or Europe, making their services globally competitive. To sweeten the pot, Turkish Airlines offers discounted flights to and from the country for medical travelers.
You can feel good about visiting this exotic and often misunderstood country; Turkey has long had institutional equality for women and a national peace program, plus it is the site of the earliest known advanced human civilizations.
What it’s best for:
Turkey excels in the areas of transplant surgery, cardiac care, cancer treatment, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and genomic medicine. Many people also travel to Turkey for laser eye surgery. There are no wait times for affordable treatment with comfortable accommodations. Americans will pay 50-65% less for care in Turkey than at home.
