Medicana Healthcare Group

Istanbul, Turkey



 

One of the Turkey's healthcare pioneers, Medicana Groups is committed to exceptional patient care, leading-edge research, and superb educational programs. The close collaboration between our physicians and scientists is one of our unique strengths, enabling us to provide patients with the best care available today as we work to discover more effective strategies to prevent, control, and ultimately cure. Our reputation passed across Turkey's borders and Medicana become an attractive centre for Middle East, Balkans and Europe citizens.

The safety of our patients and the experience they have while in our care is of primary importance. We are proud of our reputation as one of the best performing hospitals in Turkey and we achieve some of the best outcomes in the country for our patients.

In this process, the staff of Medicana Hospitals Group has participated in trainings about Patient Safety and Constantly Healing philosophy. Today Medicana Hospitals provide service above international standards in terms of Infection Control, Patient Care, Risk Management, Patient Safety, Personnel Qualities, and Information Management etc. Our goal is to maximize these works and provide constant healing.

We achieve our success through the professionalism and commitment of our excellent staff. Medicana is a very special place because of the extraordinary people who work, treat and are treated here every day. Everyone who works at Medicana contributes to our success which sees the safety and experience of each patient as ever at the heart of what we do.

Our highly skilled multidisciplinary team includes, among others, doctors and nurses, oncologists, urologists, obstetrics and gynecology specialists, endocrinologists, dermatologists, neurosurgeons, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, cardiac physiologists, thoracic surgeons, respiratory physicians, specialist cardiothoracic anesthetists, intensive care specialists, radiologists and pathologists. They are assisted by a wide range of specialist support staff including dieticians, speech therapists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, clinical educators and the infection control team.

The melding of research with patient care is at the heart of everything we do. The group provides health and wellness services for heart surgery, advanced cancer treatment, cosmetic surgery, a fertility clinic, brain surgery and organ transplantation in its hospitals. Medicana’s surgery success record is well above the world average. With our modern infrastructure and specialists’ medical team we meet the most exigent international standards, Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCI). The accreditation represents recognition of Medicana international quality standards and our commitment to keep patient satisfaction at maximum level.

Our group is developing with secured steps since 1992 and is now serving Turkey through a number of six hospitals: Medicana International Istanbul, Medicana International Ankara, Camlica, Bahcelievler, Avcilar and Medicana Dental Hospital. Medicana International Istanbul, Medicana International Ankara and Konya Medicana have been designed as specialised cancer centers. Having established a reputation for quality care as one of the leading private health care provider networks in Turkey, the Medicana Hospitals Group is looking to expand overseas and plans to open soon a hospital in Romania.

The group established the Medicana Ankara International branch last year to cater especially to foreign diplomats and professionals working there. The hospital offers everything from family medical services to comprehensive surgery in one building.

All doctors speak English, and the staff is specially trained to respond to the needs of foreign visitors. The hospital has reached 80 percent of its operation capacity within its first year. With seven state-of-the-art hospitals in İstanbul and Ankara and more planned in other cities, the group is expanding both in the domestic market and abroad.

Competitive pricing

Cost-wise, Medicana offers very competitive rates for high-risk surgeries. For most surgeries, the cost is one-tenth what is charged in the US or EU countries. A bypass operation is 10 times lower than the US price, while for some surgeries, the cost is a third of European prices. For example, laser surgery on both eyes costs 3,000-5,000 euros in the Westerm Europe, whereas it costs 1,500 euros in Turkey, including flights and a three-night hotel accommodation.
