In recent years, Turkey has consolidated its position as one of the world's leading destinations for medical tourism, thanks to its modern infrastructure, technological advancements in the healthcare sector, and direct government support.

With this accelerating growth, the International Health Services Company (USHAŞ) has become the cornerstone of managing and guiding this dynamic healthcare movement, playing a pivotal role in transforming Turkey into a global healthcare hub catering to the needs of patients from around the world.

Who is USHAŞ?

The International Health Services Company (Uluslararası Sağlık Hizmetleri Anonim Şirketi - USHAŞ) was established as the executive arm of the state in the field of international healthcare. The company aims to develop the healthcare sector both within and outside Turkey, and to integrate official bodies such as the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, in order to provide world-class healthcare services to foreign visitors.

With the growing global demand for medical tourism, USHAŞ has successfully crafted a comprehensive business model that goes beyond providing traditional medical services, encompassing planning, guidance, counseling, and enhancing the patient experience from the moment they consider treatment until their return home.

Our Mission: Towards International Healthcare That Surpasses Expectations
