Everything you need to know about cancer treatment in Turkey

When one is faced with the diagnosis of cancer, one inevitably becomes seriously worried. However, in recent years, medicine has advanced quite a lot, so this is certainly not a verdict, and treatment is quite possible. One of the best options is cancer treatment in Turkey. Cancers that are considered incurable in other countries are successfully treated there. What may worry the patient and his family is the cost of treatment. But there is good news here too, namely that the crowdfunding platform PavelAndreev.ORG makes it possible to set up a charity campaign to raise funds for cancer treatment in Turkey. So you will be able to conduct your treatment without worrying.

How to organize cancer treatment in Turkey?

Of course, the first thing you need to do is research. Inform yourself about treatment in Turkey. This will help guide you to a clinic or a specific doctor. Also, research which are the best hospitals in Turkey when it comes to treating your respective type of cancer.

In the last ten years, treatment in Turkey has become extremely popular around the world. This is thanks to the Republic of Turkey's targeted policy to develop medical tourism, also known as health tourism. More and more people are visiting the country for diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation.

To start treatment in Turkey it is enough to stop at a specific hospital and contact the specialists there. They will direct you to everything that is coming up - terms, treatment methods, prices, documents and more. And if you have already done it, but the required amount for treatment is unaffordable for you, you can start a campaign on the PavelAndreev.ORG platform.

What documents do we need for treatment abroad

When it comes to documentation for treatment abroad, it's best to be guided by the relevant hospital's guidelines so you don't miss anything. But what is certain is:

• You can now only enter Turkey with an ID card, so the commitment to a foreign passport is no longer there.
• If a child is travelling and accompanied by both parents, crossing the border is hassle-free. However, if he/she is travelling with only one of his/her legal representatives, a notarised power of attorney will be required, stating that the absent parent allows this border crossing to take place and is aware of where his/her child will be.
• If you are travelling by private car, you will also need to provide a green card for this.
• Increase bank card limits and make sure they are not due to expire while your cancer treatment is ongoing in Turkey.
