The potential cost savings for medical tourists are enormous and, as a result, are one of the more essential factors in seeking treatment in Turkey. It is important to note that the cost for each individual will vary depending on their need and requirements. Usually, an elective procedure such as a knee replacement would cost an average of $30,000 in the US. Whereas getting that same procedure done using similar quality parts in Turkey would require 70 – 80% less than the cost in the US, including the hospital stay, all processes, and physicians’ fees, and transportation to and from Turkey. The prices compared to the UK are similarly lower by about 75 – 85%. This is mainly possible because of favorable currency exchange rates.
