Every row is a price the provider publishes itself, read on the date shown. We copy what the price includes and what it leaves out; where the provider does not say, the row says “not stated”. We do not use prices from brokers or medical-travel agencies.

About whole-body MRI. Some check-up packages include a whole-body MRI. The American College of Radiology says there is not enough evidence to recommend total-body screening for people without symptoms, risk factors or a family history, and warns that it finds many non-specific results that lead to unnecessary follow-up tests (ACR statement, 17 April 2023). If a scan finds something, the follow-up usually happens at home.
Few Turkish hospitals publish price lists. The figures here are a hospital group's international “starting from” prices, a dental clinic's worked example and a medical-travel clinic's eye-surgery package, so ask each one for a written, itemised quote.
Compared with waiting or paying at home
The official waiting figure and the self-pay price in each home country, next to the Turkey price converted to that currency. The Turkey figure does not include flights, a hotel or time off work.

How it works for a visitor
- Ask for a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for the health check-up and ask for an itemised price, the date, and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
- Before you goMost packages need you to fast from the night before. Book a morning slot.
- Before you goAsk what happens if a test finds something: is a specialist available the same week, and at what price?
- LanguageTurkish; international patient departments offer English and interpreters.
- Entry rulesCheck the official advice for your passport before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements), Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca), US citizens (State Department, choose the country), Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).
- After you returnBring the full report to your doctor, not just the summary page.
- After you returnTreat a "borderline" or "follow up" note as a reason to see your doctor, not as a diagnosis.
Can your public system pay for it?
NHS and HSE schemes do not reach Turkey. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in Turkey is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.
When not to travel for a health check-up
- Investigating a symptom you already have. A package is screening, not a diagnosis.
- Replacing the screening your home health service already offers for free (bowel, breast or cervical screening).
How to compare health check-up quotes
A health check-up (called ningen dock in Japan, geongang geomjin in Korea, executive check-up in Thailand and Turkey) is a bundle of tests done in one visit: blood and urine tests, a doctor's examination, an ECG, often an ultrasound and a chest X-ray or CT, and in bigger packages an endoscopy, a colonoscopy or MRI.
- Compare the contents, not just the price. A cheap package may leave out the ultrasound or the endoscopy.
- Check whether the doctor's summary is in English and whether a doctor explains it to you on the day.
- Women's and men's packages are often priced differently.
- More tests are not always better: whole-body scans in healthy people often find harmless things that then need more tests.

Health check-up in Turkey: questions
How much does a health check-up cost in Turkey?
The published prices we found range from $900 to $3,500, about £673 to £2,620 or $900 to $3,500. They come from Acıbadem (international patients). Each covers something slightly different, so read what is included before comparing.
Is a health check-up in Turkey cheaper than paying privately in the UK?
Before travel, the prices here work out at about £673 to £2,620, against about £385 to £1,120 at the UK providers we checked. Add a return flight and 2 nights in a hotel before deciding; the calculator on the home page does the sum.
Will the NHS or HSE pay for a health check-up in Turkey?
No. The NHS S2 route and the HSE schemes cover planned treatment in Europe only. Turkey is outside them, so you pay yourself or through a private insurer that agrees in advance.
How many days should I plan in Turkey?
Half a day to one day for most packages; packages with endoscopy or several scans can take two days. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice: the clinic sets the schedule, and you should ask it for one in writing.
What should I check before booking a health check-up in Turkey?
Compare the contents, not just the price. A cheap package may leave out the ultrasound or the endoscopy. Check whether the doctor's summary is in English and whether a doctor explains it to you on the day.
