With most of the European population ageing and with the decreasing hours spent at work by health workers in these countries, more and more people need medical attention. Aside from these two major problems, healthcare costs are rapidly increasing hence the prospect of medical tourism becoming more and more acceptable to many Europeans. Although Asia offers a number of medical services to medical tourists, the flight duration can be a deal breaker for many Europeans that is why the Turkish government is investing on medical tourism. With 20 million visitors from Europe, Turkey definitely is a good destination not only to see heritage sites but also a better choice for those coming from Europe because of its proximity.
