CTG Health Care Group

CTG Health Care Group is a medical tourism coordination company based in Izmir, Turkey's third-largest city and a gateway to the Aegean coast. CTG acts as an intermediary between international patients — primarily from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and continental Europe — and vetted Turkish hospitals and specialist clinics. The company manages the full treatment journey for overseas patients, from initial inquiry and clinical consultation through to procedure coordination, hospital admission, aftercare, and follow-up.

Izmir is an internationally connected city with its own international airport (Adnan Menderes Airport) offering direct flights to numerous European cities, making it a convenient base for medical tourism from Europe without the need to transit through Istanbul. CTG leverages this geographic accessibility alongside Turkey's well-documented cost advantage — treatments typically cost 50–75% less than equivalent procedures in the UK or Germany — to position Turkey as a practical and affordable option for elective medical and aesthetic procedures.

CTG maintains offices both in Turkey (Izmir) and the United Kingdom (London), giving it a dual presence that facilitates communication with British and European patients in familiar time zones and languages. The company is reachable via a UK telephone line (+44 207 872 5472) as well as a Turkish number (+90 232 446 3034), and operates a website at ctghealthcare.co.uk. The team communicates in English and Turkish as standard.

CTG Health Care Group specialises in facilitating cosmetic surgery, dental treatments, bariatric (obesity) surgery, and orthopaedic procedures — the most common categories of treatment sought by international medical tourists in Turkey. In the cosmetic surgery sphere, CTG coordinates rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, facelift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), eyebrow lift, and body contouring procedures including liposuction and abdominoplasty.

Non-surgical cosmetic treatments facilitated include botox injections, dermal fillers, mesotherapy, and anti-ageing skin therapies, which patients increasingly combine with surgical procedures into single treatment visits to maximise value and minimise travel.

Dental tourism is one of the major drivers of medical travel to Turkey, and CTG coordinates dental procedures including dental implants, porcelain and zirconia crowns, veneers, composite bonding, teeth whitening, and full smile makeover packages. Bariatric surgery — primarily gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and gastric band procedures — addresses the growing international demand for affordable obesity surgery. Orthopaedic procedures including joint replacement and sports injury treatments complete CTG's core service portfolio.

As a facilitator, CTG Health Care Group does not operate its own hospital or surgical facility; instead, it partners with accredited hospitals and specialist clinics across Turkey that meet its quality and safety criteria. Partner facilities are vetted for clinical track record, surgeon credentials, facility standards, infection control protocols, and patient experience, and typically hold Turkish Ministry of Health accreditation as a minimum standard.

For surgical procedures, CTG works with facilities that maintain modern operating theatres, post-operative recovery suites, and intensive care backup where required by the procedure type. Patients are hosted in clinical environments that meet the operational standards expected for their specific treatment — cosmetic surgery patients are typically placed in specialist plastic surgery clinics or private hospital wings, while bariatric patients are placed in hospitals equipped for metabolic surgery.

CTG coordinates patient logistics around treatment: arranging airport transfers from Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport, hotel or clinic accommodation for recovery periods, and transport between accommodation and clinic for appointments. This end-to-end logistics management is a core part of the value CTG provides to international patients unfamiliar with navigating the Turkish healthcare system independently.

CTG Health Care Group's primary market is international patients from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Western Europe, and its operational model is built around supporting overseas patients from first contact through to return home. Enquiries are handled in English, and UK-based patients benefit from a familiar UK telephone number and a UK-facing website.

The patient journey with CTG typically begins with a free initial consultation — either online or by phone — during which the patient's treatment goals, medical history, and expectations are discussed. CTG then provides a treatment recommendation, clinic options, and a cost estimate. Once a patient decides to proceed, CTG handles appointment booking, clinic confirmation, travel timing recommendations, and pre-operative instructions. During the visit, CTG staff coordinate with the clinic on the patient's behalf.

Turkey's combination of quality care, experienced surgeons, and prices significantly below European rates has made it one of the world's most popular medical tourism destinations, particularly for cosmetic surgery and dental work. CTG positions itself as a trustworthy guide through this landscape, helping patients navigate choices and avoid pitfalls. Patients are advised to conduct thorough due diligence on any overseas medical provider and, where possible, consult their own GP before travelling for treatment.

CTG Health Care Group is a medical tourism facilitation company rather than a regulated healthcare provider, and as such it is not itself subject to hospital accreditation requirements. However, the partner hospitals and clinics with which CTG works are required to hold Turkish Ministry of Health (Saglik Bakanligi) licensing — a mandatory regulatory requirement for any medical facility operating in Turkey — as a baseline standard.

Turkey's Ministry of Health maintains a national hospital quality programme (Saglikta Kalite Standartlari, SKS) that all licensed hospitals must comply with, covering clinical processes, patient safety, hygiene, staff qualifications, and facility standards. Patients are encouraged to enquire about the accreditation status of the specific facility they will be treated at — including whether it holds Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation or ISO certification — before committing to treatment. CTG's role is to match patients with facilities appropriate to their clinical needs and to coordinate the logistical aspects of the treatment visit.
