A growing name in medical travel
GoTurkey Health has raised $18 million from equity investment firms, while more than 100,000 patients have completed treatment through its healthcare network in Türkiye. These milestones mark an expanding presence in medical travel and a growing role in helping international patients connect with care.
The app addresses a familiar difficulty for international patients. Choosing a clinic is only part of the decision. Patients also need to find a physician with relevant expertise, understand the proposed treatment and organise a trip around it. GoTurkey brings that search and planning into one place, starting with the individual case.
Recognition in Europe and Türkiye
GoTurkey’s recognition in Europe and Türkiye includes the Euro Health Tech Award and multiple honours for connecting international patients with Turkish healthcare providers. Its awards recognise the platform as the best app in this field, reflecting its focus on making access to care easier to navigate.
That connection is the focus of the service. Someone exploring dental care needs access to a different team from someone considering eye surgery or an orthopaedic procedure. GoTurkey’s matching approach is intended to make the first conversation more relevant by directing a patient’s case towards a physician with appropriate expertise.
For patients, the value of that introduction becomes clear in the consultation: an opportunity to explain their needs, ask questions and understand the options available to them. It is where a broad search can become a specific discussion about care.
An $18 million investment milestone
The $18 million equity raise marks a significant step in GoTurkey’s development. As its patient network expands, investment in the business brings the opportunity to strengthen the service behind that growth.
For a platform handling international enquiries, growth brings everyday demands: keeping provider information useful, helping patients reach the appropriate team and making a complex journey easier to follow. Those are the details that determine whether a service remains useful as more people begin relying on it.
The funding figure draws attention, but the longer-term measure will be the experience patients have as the app develops. Clear communication and a well-organised process matter just as much when the network is larger.
A milestone of 100,000 patients completing treatment
More than 100,000 patients have completed treatment through GoTurkey’s network. It is a milestone that gives the company’s growth a practical meaning: people have moved from searching for options to receiving care from a healthcare provider in Türkiye.
Each journey involves more than an initial enquiry. Patients need to find a relevant provider, discuss their treatment and make the arrangements needed to travel. Bringing those steps together is central to GoTurkey’s service, helping people organise the decisions that come with seeking care abroad.
Keeping the patient experience at the centre of growth
GoTurkey’s rapid expansion makes the experience of each new patient increasingly important. Patients need to understand whom they are speaking with, what happens next and how their treatment plans fit with the journey to Türkiye. Keeping that process clear is an essential part of growing the service.
The awards, equity funding and completed-treatment milestone bring different parts of GoTurkey’s progress together: recognition for its approach, capital behind the business and a widening reach among international patients. Its next chapter will be shaped by how well it continues to bring those patients and healthcare providers together.
