We connect international patients with JCI-accredited hospitals and specialist physicians in Istanbul — combining 15 years of health tourism experience with physician-led, UK-registered coordination.
Ocean Health & Travel is the UK-registered medical tourism coordination brand of Ocean Travel, operating under TÜRSAB authorisation in Turkey. We connect international patients — primarily from the United Kingdom and Europe — with distinguished hospitals and specialist physicians in Istanbul.
We are a coordination service, not a medical provider. We do not employ surgeons or operate clinical facilities. Our role is to make the process of accessing high-quality elective medical care in Istanbul straightforward, transparent, and safe — handling every logistical step so that patients can focus on their treatment and recovery.
What distinguishes us is physician-led coordination. Your case is overseen by a medically qualified university professor, ensuring clinical documentation is handled accurately, medical information is communicated clearly to the treating team, and hospital liaison is precise.
Our mission is to make world-class elective healthcare accessible to everyone — not just those who can afford UK private rates or who are willing to wait 12–18 months on an NHS waiting list.
Turkey has invested significantly in its healthcare infrastructure. Istanbul's internationally accredited hospitals offer the same surgical standards, implant systems, and laser platforms as leading UK private clinics — at a fraction of the cost. The difference is not in quality but in cost structure: lower operating costs in Turkey translate directly to lower patient fees, not lower standards.
Our role is to bridge the gap — ensuring that patients arrive in Istanbul with the right documentation, meet the right surgeon, and return home with complete clinical records. We handle everything in between.
We are not a medical provider. We do not provide medical advice, clinical assessments, or surgical opinions. All clinical decisions rest with the treating physician and hospital team at our JCI-accredited partner facilities. We are transparent about this distinction and ensure it is reflected in all patient communications and legal documentation.
Ocean Health & Travel operates under full regulatory compliance in both the UK and Turkey.
