Ministry of Trade supports in Turkey's growth in health tourism
The Service Export Incentives offered by the Ministry of Trade act as a critical financial leverage in Turkey becoming a global actor in health tourism.
While Turkey has become a global actor in health tourism with its high medical technology and qualified physician staff, the Service Export Incentives of the Ministry of Trade undertake a critical financial leverage role in the growth of the sector.
Global Position in Health Tourism
Turkey has risen to a decisive actor position in health tourism with its high medical technology, qualified physician staff, and culture of hospitality. Behind this success lies not only quality healthcare service but also presenting this service to the global market with the right strategy.
Ministry of Trade Supports
The Service Export Incentives offered by the Ministry of Trade function as an important financial leverage for clinics, hospitals, and intermediary institutions. The supports cover the critical steps in a healthcare institution's journey of opening up abroad.
Advertising and Marketing Contributions
In order to reach the target audience abroad, a wide range of marketing such as digital advertisements, TV and newspaper ads, sponsorships, and social media campaigns are supported at high rates, ensuring that brands make their voices heard.
Agency Commissions
A certain percentage of the commission expenses paid to authorized agencies directing patients from abroad is covered by the state. This practice ranks among the most important financial facilities that make the patient flow sustainable.
Interpretation and Employment
In order to communicate accurately and effectively with foreign patients, the salaries of foreign language-knowing personnel and interpreters employed within the body are evaluated within the scope of support, increasing the quality of service provided.
Overseas Offices and Units
Rent and establishment expenses of liaison offices, clinics, or representative offices opened abroad are supported by the state, making it easier for healthcare institutions to have an on-site presence in the international arena.
Accreditation and Travel Supports
The costs of internationally valid quality certificates such as JCI are covered, and contributions are made to the transportation and plane ticket expenses of patients brought to Turkey, making the country an attractive destination.
Sustainable Growth Strategy
It is emphasized that incentives are not a business model on their own, and that the real success will belong to brands that combine these supports with correct marketing strategies and institutionalization focused on patient satisfaction.
