CONSPIRACY AGAINST HEALTH TOURISM'. I Dr. Koksal Holoğlu, Chairman of the Executive Board of Turkey Health Tourism Development, said, "When Turkish health tourism started to make a serious attack, slanderous news started to be made." 6SAMMING CAMPAIGN ON THE RISE IN HEALTH The British newspaper The Sun published an untruthful news article by recording a Turkish doctor during an examination with a hidden camera.
Turkey Health Tourism Development Executive Board Chairman Dr. Koksal Holoğlu said, "Turkish health tourism has taken a serious step forward. On top of that, news defaming Turkish health tourism started to be made," he said. TURKEY has taken a serious step forward in health tourism in recent years with the initiatives of the Ministry of Health. Even during the pandemic period, patients from many countries traveled to Turkey for health tourism. Turkish organizations engaged in health tourism also organized promotional meetings in hotels abroad. Within the scope of these meetings, Dr. Serkan Süleyman Aslan met with patients at a hotel and a reporter from the British newspaper The Sun went to the meeting like a patient, saying that he wanted to have a hip lift operation.
Conspiracy against Health Tourism
The reporter, who filmed Dr. Aslan with a hidden camera, criticized the doctor for touching his buttocks without permission. Dr. Koksal Holoğlu, Chairman of the Executive Board of Turkey's Health Tourism Development, said that such news reports were made deliberately after Turkey made a breakthrough in health tourism. 'POSITIVELY IMPACTED' Dr. Koksal Holoğlu, who informed that there are 4,226 health tourism authorized health facilities in Turkey, said the following: "Turkey f|Dr. Serkan Süleyman Aslan said that the news in the British newspaper The Sun was intended to prevent Turkey's rise in health tourism. Upon this, they started to make news defaming Turkish doctors, especially in England. Turkish doctors are now a brand in the world. Because our doctors are well-trained, knowledgeable, experienced and qualified. However, when you look at the news, there are simple statements such as 'I went to Turkey, I became bad' without any details. However, according to US health statistics, 678 complications in every 100 thousand operations are considered acceptable and normal.
In other words, it is not clear whether those who say 'I went to Turkey, I became ill' have become ill due to a doctor's mistake or whether they developed the usual complications. Of course, under the stairs places should also be prevented. However, these news do not reflect the truth. While we were expecting a growth in health tourism in Turkey in 2023, we experienced a 30 percent shrinkage. The reason for this is completely slanderous news."
