It is however much better than the English of the "interpreters" (realy a nurse who hapens to speak a few words of English),that private Turkish hospitals provide for non Turkish patients.

Then there is the question abouth the Turkish doctors liability for any mistakes,then,then,then.

Medical tourism to Turkey,-please take my advice and FORGET it.

Turkey is basically a nice country to visit,but it is a culture where very,very few people care abouth the quality of the services they provide,-which in the medical profesion is kind of important, particularly when its extremely hard for a foreigner withouth contacts to have recourse to legal action if anything should go wrong.
