What If Something Goes Wrong After Treatment Abroad?

In Turkiye, call 112 in a medical emergency. In the UK, call 999. Get urgent help for chest pain, breathlessness, or pain and swelling in one leg, which can be signs of a blood clot.

Complications and any revision or corrective treatment are clinical matters between you and the treating clinic, handled under the clinic's own policy. Ask about that policy before you travel.

MedicaTurn is a facilitator, not a healthcare provider. If you have a concern, we'll pass it to the clinic and help with communication.

If a complication or slower recovery means you need further treatment or must stay longer, the extra costs (such as hotel nights, transfers, further treatment or flight changes) aren't included in your package. They're paid by you unless the clinic's policy or your travel insurance covers them. We can help extend your hotel booking and rearrange transfers.

The NHS notes that overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or not to the same standard as in the UK. Talk to your GP before you go, and bring home copies of your medical records and treatment notes.

Follow-up or corrective treatment for a procedure carried out abroad may not be available on the NHS, so plan how your aftercare will work before you travel.
