I don't understand how can you trust these foreigners-oriented clinics in counties with otherwise miserable healthcare. These clinics are not an exception from dysfunctional healthcare system, they are the very result and fruit of it.


Turkey has reasonably good health care by any metric, what are you talking about?


Globally ranks along Poland, Belarus, and Albania. Having first hand experience in one of them the only advantage of healthcare from this league is "it somehow exists, sometimes".


"Bad health care" is what you have in Peru with nonexistent state services and thoroughly incompetent doctors. Turkey's is middle-of-the-road, which is actually pretty decent for a lot of the life-saving interventions for mainstream diseases. The life expectancy is three years lower than the EU, which is, again, not bad by any stretch of the imagination.


If you don't fall through the cracks because of cronyism, corruption, or neglect it's somehow helpful with mainstream diseases. That's the level of healthcare.

Life expectancy in these regions is mostly from diet, lifestyle, avoiding wars, and at times from avoiding the healthcare actually.
