How Much Does Circumcision Cost in Turkey?

The cost of circumcision in Turkey typically ranges from $400 to $700. The price can vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the patient’s age, and whether local or general anesthesia is used. In the United States, the average cost is $1,800 (per AAP). This means circumcision in Turkey is about 72% less than in the U.S.

Most Turkish clinics include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, single-use surgical materials, a short clinic stay, and follow-up care in the price. In the U.S., costs for anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up visits are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic before booking.

Day 3: Circumcision Procedure
  • Arrive at the clinic on an empty stomach if general anesthesia is planned. For local anesthesia, follow specific instructions regarding food and drink.

  • Report any concerns or complications to your healthcare provider promptly.

Day 8: Return to Work and Normal Activities
  • Most patients can return to work about a week after the procedure, depending on their occupation and recovery progress.
  • Continue to follow wound care instructions. Avoid activities that could impact healing, such as cycling or heavy lifting.
  • Maintain regular hygiene practices to prevent infection.
  • If necessary, schedule additional follow-up appointments to ensure complete healing.
Day 9-14: Ongoing Recovery
  • Continue to monitor the surgical site for signs of healing. Report any concerns to your healthcare provider.

No positive statements identified
the hospital facilitator did not provide all the necessary information to the hotel: 1. there were no baby cots upon arrival. we had to ask ourselves 2. we made explicit requests that we need breakfast. however the next day we were told only rooms were booked. No breakfast.
the short hospital stay
the indifferent attitude of the nurses...no smiles, no empathy, no children's meal, lunch served at 2.30pm for patients' parents

FAQ about Circumcision in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What should you know about Turkey before the trip?

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.

What documents are required to apply for a visa to Turkey for treatment?

Visas for travel to Turkey require a number of documents. The necessary papers can be submitted 90 days before the planned departure. Lists of documents includes:

  • ID card
  • confirmation of online registration and filling out the questionnaire
  • certificate of income and availability of funds ($50 per day per person)
  • insurance policy for a stay in Turkey (original and copy)
  • 2 photos (5x6)
  • visa receipt
  • booking of flight and hotel
