Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does Lifeline Turkey do? Are you a hospital? expand_more
No. We're a medical-travel company that connects you with vetted, board-certified surgeons and accredited hospitals in Turkey, and coordinates everything around your treatment. The hospital provides your care; we find the right one and support your journey.
Is the first consultation really free? expand_more
Yes, free and no obligation. Send us your details on WhatsApp or our form, and within 24 hours you'll get an honest assessment, a personalised plan, and a clear all-inclusive quote.
How do you choose your clinics and surgeons? expand_more
We check board certification and real experience in your procedure, hospital accreditation (JCI, ISO, Ministry of Health) and safety record, quality of international-patient care, and transparent pricing. We only list clinics we'd send our own family to.
Is treatment in Turkey safe? expand_more
Yes, with an accredited hospital and a qualified surgeon, which is exactly what our vetting ensures. The standards and risks are the same as anywhere; what matters is the surgeon, the hospital, and the aftercare.
What's included in the package, and what isn't? expand_more
Typically: treatment, hospital stay, surgeon fees, post-op care, hotel, transfers, and translator. Flights and some medications usually aren't included. We confirm everything in writing upfront, no surprise costs on the day.
Why is treatment in Turkey so much cheaper? expand_more
Lower operating costs let accredited hospitals offer the same standard of care at roughly 50–70% less than UK, US, or Western European prices. The saving is in the cost of running a clinic, not the medicine.
Will there be a language barrier? expand_more
No. Every surgeon and coordinator speaks English, and we also have coordinators in Arabic, French, Russian, German, and Spanish.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey? expand_more
It depends on the treatment, a few days for minor procedures, around 7–10 for most surgeries, and two to three weeks for a full IVF cycle. Your coordinator gives you a realistic timeline before you book.
What support do I get after I fly home? expand_more
Your surgeon and coordinator stay available for follow-up reviews and any questions during recovery, at no extra cost.
Do you guarantee results? expand_more
No reputable provider can. Outcomes depend on your age, health, and diagnosis, so results vary. We promise an honest assessment, a qualified surgeon, and real support, and we'll tell you if Turkey isn't right for you (for example, donor-egg IVF and surrogacy aren't legal here).
