ISTANBUL, TURKEY - FEBRUARY 15: A patient has his photograph taken before undergoing a robotic hair transplant procedure at the luxury Esteworld Clinic on February 15, 2017 in Istanbul, Turkey. Esteworld clinic is one of many Turkish run health clinics tailoring vacation packages to tourists wishing to undergo specific medical surgeries, generally offering a three day hotel deal with airport transfers, sightseeing, meals and the surgery. The company provides health tourism to clients in more than 100 countries and has seen business boom over the past 5 years despite Turkey currently going through a tourism crisis. The Health tourism market is growing rapidly with the number of medical tourists traveling to Turkey for plastic surgery, hair transplants and organ transplants, doubling in the past two years. Clients predominately from Arab and European countries often come in tour groups with hair transplants, breast and nose surgeries being the most popular choice. Turkey's health ministry is looking to increase the numbers of medical tourists to two million by 2023 by introducing tax-free health care zones targeted specifically at foreign patients in the hope of reaching 20 billion in revenue from the health sector by 2023.

CIRUGÍA ESTÉTICA

Así se ha convertido Turquía en el centro mundial de la cirugía estética barata (y a veces peligrosa)

Turquía es una potencia del turismo sanitario. En 2023, 1,5 millones de extranjeros acudieron al país para someterse a algún tratamiento u operación, el doble que hace cinco años.

¿Por qué? Detrás hay miles de anuncios pagados por empresas en las redes sociales y los buscadores de internet. Se publicitan en español como una opción segura y más barata que las clínicas europeas.

Pero no es siempre así: en abril del año pasado, el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores español informó de que “en los últimos meses, al menos cuatro ciudadanos españoles han fallecido” tras una intervención estética en Turquía. Aunque no hay cifras oficiales, se acumulan decenas de fallecimientos de pacientes de otros países.

Para evitar riesgos:

  1. Hay que comprobar que el centro tiene licencia. Hay una lista pública de los autorizados y algunos tienen acreditación de instituciones estadounidenses y europeas.
  2. Y priorizar la calidad por encima del precio. Hay clínicas que abaratan costes con material de peor calidad o que prescinden de personal necesario en las intervenciones.
