Healthcare & Medical Training in Türkiye for African Professionals
Türkiye's Healthcare Transformation
Over the past 15 years, Türkiye has undergone one of the most impressive healthcare transformations in the world. The country now has:
- Over 1,500 hospitals, including internationally accredited facilities.
- A thriving medical tourism industry serving over 1.2 million international patients annually.
- Advanced capabilities in organ transplantation, oncology, cardiology and cosmetic surgery.
- A rapidly growing health technology sector.
This transformation has created deep expertise that is now being shared with international partners — and African healthcare professionals are among the biggest beneficiaries.
