Medical Malpractice Cases
In recent years, Turkey has become an internationally prominent destination in health tourism and cosmetic surgery.
Thanks to its advanced medical facilities, expert physicians, and affordable treatments, many people living abroad choose Turkey for medical care and cosmetic procedures.
However, not all medical interventions yield the desired results.
Across various fields — from cosmetic surgery and dental treatments to orthopedics and internal medicine — malpractice incidents may occur.
Errors in surgery, misdiagnosis, insufficient or incorrect information, and inappropriate treatment methods can cause both physical and psychological harm.
Such cases bring the legal responsibility of the physician or healthcare provider into question.
Under the Turkish Code of Obligations, the Patients’ Rights Regulation, and high court precedents, patients can file malpractice lawsuits for compensation of material and moral damages.
Who Can File a Malpractice Lawsuit?
- Foreign nationals or expatriates treated in Turkey
- Health tourism patients who suffered harm
- Legal heirs of deceased patients
