Rating is Google's, shown as reported (1,281 reviews). The "top %" is an estimate from peer-reviewed hospital-rating studies (Canadian nationwide 2018–19, n=167, mean 2.85★; US hospitals, median 3.0★) — we score against the hospital distribution, not the naive 0–5 scale.
Patients rate Koç University Hospital 3.5★ across 1,281 Google reviews — excellent for a hospital, better than roughly 85% of hospitals on our worldwide rating benchmark.

Traveling to Istanbul, Turkey
Sourced Full Turkey guide →Visa, arrival and money basics for planning the trip.
- Visa
- Turkey's e-Visa / visa-on-arrival system (evisa.gov.tr) is valid ONLY for tourism or commerce; work, study and other purposes require a visa issued by a Turkish embassy or consulate. Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.
- Medical / long-stay visa
- There is no separate medical/health-tourism visa — international patients enter on the standard e-Visa or visa-free tourist route like any other visitor. The health-tourism-specific control sits on the FACILITY side instead: treating providers must hold the Ministry of Health's 'Uluslararası Sağlık Turizmi Yetki Belgesi' authorization.
- Safety & recourse
- Generally safe · Limited recourse — use a medical-travel insurer
General guidance — confirm current rules for your nationality with official sources. Verified against: Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Visa information for foreigners.
