Who is Mapa Health and how does the clinic coordination work?
“Mapa Health is a medical travel coordinator based in Istanbul that connects international patients with licensed partner clinics. We are not a hospital ourselves - we coordinate the entire journey: medical pre-screening, clinic booking, travel and hotel, English-speaking patient coordination, and follow-up care.”
View in the company profileWhich accreditations and safety standards apply to partner clinics?
“Mapa Health works exclusively with hospitals that hold international accreditations (JCI, ISO 9001, or equivalent) and are licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health. Surgeons must be specialists with a Turkish Medical Chamber license and at least 5 years of post-specialization experience.”

“Patient coordination is conducted entirely in English - from the first WhatsApp inquiry through to follow-up care. At each partner clinic, at least one English-speaking physician or qualified interpreter is available.”
View in the company profileWhat happens in case of medical complications during my stay?
“All partner clinics have 24/7 emergency infrastructure (ICU, on-call emergency surgery, cardiopulmonary resuscitation). In the event of complications, the operating surgeon is directly reachable; if needed, a transfer to a specialized emergency clinic is arranged.”
