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.
