We asked expats in Turkey if they have access to public healthcare in Turkey. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"Yes, foreigners living in Turkey have access to public healthcare. The quality of care is generally good, with many hospitals and clinics offering a wide range of services. The cost of care is also relatively low compared to other countries, making it an attractive option for those looking for affordable healthcare. Additionally, the Turkish government has implemented a number of initiatives to improve access to healthcare for all citizens, including foreigners," commented one expat who made the move to Turkey.
