Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Istanbul?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Istanbul if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Istanbul, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Istanbul, can be considered relatively affordable compared to some other countries, particularly for those with private health insurance. The public healthcare system is accessible to all citizens and residents, but it can be crowded and may not offer the same level of service as private healthcare providers. Private healthcare facilities in Istanbul are known for their high-quality services and modern equipment, but their costs can be higher than public hospitals. However, these costs are still generally lower than those in countries like the United States. Health insurance plans are available at various price points, depending on the coverage and provider, but overall, they are considered reasonably priced. Expats and foreigners may opt for international health insurance plans, which can be more expensive but offer more comprehensive coverage," wrote a member who made the move to Istanbul, Turkey.
