How Much Does Stem cell therapy for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) Cost in Istanbul?

Stem cell therapy for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in Istanbul typically costs from $14,500 to $28,500. The total investment varies based on the number of doses, the cell delivery route, and included rehabilitation services. Patients save around 76% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $165,000 on average. Standard Istanbul packages often bundle multiple cell administrations, VIP transfers, and localized accommodations for international patients.

  • Cell administration count: Two to four doses are standard, with packages often adjusted for neurological needs.
  • Delivery methods: Intrathecal or intramuscular injections may involve localized anesthesia and specialist fees.
  • Ancillary therapies: Intensive physiotherapy and robotic gait analysis often add a premium to basic packages.
  • Diagnostic workup: Pre-treatment tests like EMG or brain MRI typically range from 15-25% of the procedure cost.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul is Turkey's undisputed hub for cellular biotechnology, housing the country's first GMP-standard private stem cell labs. Clinics like Liv Hospital Ulus utilize these specialized labs to process umbilical cord stem cells for patients from over 180 countries. For the best value, look for bundles that include a 16-day stay, as extended observation periods are standard in high-tier Turkish neurological protocols.

Data verified by Bookimed as of September 2026, based on patient requests and official quotes from 24 clinics worldwide. Median costs are based on real invoices (2025–2026) and updated monthly. Actual prices may vary.

The surgeon and the medical team were brilliant and explained everything to me, which put me at ease
My biggest concern was the procedure itself and the potential side effects. Fortunately, the surgeon and the medical team were brilliant and explained everything to me, which put me at ease. It has now been 15 days since my umbilical cord stem cell treatment. To be honest, I haven’t noticed any changes yet, which is to be expected at this early stage. There is still some pain when I touch the injection site. I’ve been sticking to the post-treatment restrictions most of the time, and the clinic itself was good but not entirely modern, which is why I’ve given it four stars. Overall, it was a good experience and now I just need to be patient.

برنامج بوكيميد ممتاز الناس اللي فيه ممتازين
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله كبرنامج بوكيميد ممتاز الناس اللي فيه ممتازين الرد ممتاز بس اخر مره عن طريق مستشفى ام سي تركيا المترجم شخص اسمه عيسى ضعيف جدا في الترجمه وما يترجم ليش في كلام الدكتور لان الدكتور تكلم فتره طويله وكانت الترجمه فتره بسيطه فكان في اشياء كثيره ما يترجمش فيها لي وما استفدتش منها اي حاجه وما استفدتش من الكشف دكتور
May the peace and mercy of God be with you. As a great program, the people who use it are great. The answer is excellent, but the last time was through MC Hospital Türkiye. The translator is a man named Issa. It is very weak in translation and does not translate. Why is this from the words of the doctor? Because the doctor spoke for a long time, and the translation was short, so there was a lot of things. It does not translate for me, and it did not benefit me at all, and the examination didn't help, doctor

Overall, a great experience!!
I was very skeptical doing this and especially in another country. The staff did a great job with getting everything lined up. Dr. Gurkan was great, all staff was very good and attentive. I would just ask for a little more information on the process and the timeline for treatments to work, etc. Overall, a great experience!!
Everything was ready when we got there. Great hotel. Staff was great.
Language barrier was a little difficult. I would have preferred one assistant the entire time and not so many. Little better communication and information beforehand as to process and procedures.
About Bookimed service
I never knew who I was communicating with. Change in pricing agreement was difficult. Had to pay extra for treatment and TDCS therapy which was agreed to in our original discussions.

They made a big issue about accepting GBP and didn’t let me leave the hospital until payment went through. Staff were rude and the translator Muhammed is ignoring my messages asking for a revised letter.
