City of Legends: Magnificent Istanbul becoming "the Medical"

Charming Istanbul stands as as a complete city in itself while also encompassing all that it has been—namely, Byzantium and Constantinople. It's a cliché to talk about Istanbul serving as the bridge between east and west—Asia and Europe—but it’s true that you get the best of both worlds in this captivating city.

The historically diverse area offers something new and unexpected around every corner because it’s been home to so many different cultures over the centuries. International travel magazines agree that Istanbul is a must-see:

·        “The skyline here is a glittering ribbon of palaces, mosques, and minarets, but also of sleek skyscrapers, where the sybaritic restaurant and nightclub scene easily rivals New York’s or London’s.” –Travel + Leisure

·        “’If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Constantinople,’” marveled Alphonse de Lamartine, the 19th-century French writer and politician. Sixteen centuries as the legendary capital of the Byzantine, Roman, and Ottoman Empires, Istanbul has long entranced the civilized world.”—National Geographic                                                   

Istanbul sounds fascinating; however, people are travelling here for more. They travel also heal.

With 480 hospitals and a population of 15 million people, Istanbul is becoming the new healthcare capital of Europe.

For the ones who wonder, the city offers:

·        Highly qualified and experienced doctors that are U.S. trained and board certified

·        No waiting period for your treatment

·        Top-quality infrastructure and professionals using the latest technology

·        Well-trained, experienced personnel

·        Affordable treatment costs, compared with the same procedures performed in Europe and the U.S.

Medical tourism is becoming a phenomenon and Istanbul has much to offer its international patient-guests.

My personal experience was organized with BLUmeditravel, which is an innovative international medical tourism company based in Istanbul and London, with offices in Finland, Sweden and Norway.  

They offer a wide range of medical treatment programs like corrective eye surgery, including oculoplastic and cosmetic surgery, with outstanding, internationally-certified doctors, under the coordination of Turkey’s leading Lasik Doctor, Dr. Nusret Bas.
These medical tourism specialists offer their superb skills while they cater the to patients’ need for a relaxing holiday atmosphere in the ancient city of Istanbul.
