        One of the earliest hospitals in history, the Asklepion, was established in Izmir. In the past Izmir was known as “a place where death doesn’t enter”, which depicts that this city has had a lot of medical tourism potential for a long time. All three sectors, including public, private, and state institutions are functional in the health sector. This makes medical tourism expand more in Izmir. Izmir has modern and new hospitals that belong to public and private universities and different individual companies. People worldwide are offered almost all types of treatments in Izmir, including general surgery, ENT treatments, cardiology, oncology, paediatric treatments, plastic surgery, dental treatments, orthopedic, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, obstetrics and gynecology, physiotherapy, and hair transplant. Keeping in mind the quality of health facilities and the behavior and experience of staff it is expected that health tourism will flourish quickly in the near future extending medical services to international patients.
