About Medical Malpractice Turkey
Medical Malpractice Turkey is an information hub for people who travelled to Turkey for an operation that went wrong, and now need to understand the legal side of it from another country.
The legal side is the part no one explains
Thousands of people travel to Turkey for medical and dental work every year. When it goes well, there’s nothing to say. When it doesn’t, you can be left with something harder than a bad outcome: a legal problem in a country you don’t live in, under a system you’ve never had any reason to understand. And almost everything you find online is either selling something or written for someone else.
“When treatment in Turkey goes wrong, there’s no clear, honest place to understand the legal side of it. So we built one.”
The questions we help you answer
We’re an information hub for foreigners dealing with the aftermath of an operation in Turkey that went wrong, focused on the part hardly anyone can navigate alone: the legal side. Everything is organised by the treatment you had.
Is it malpractice, or a known risk?
Where the line sits between an accepted complication and care that fell short.
Do you have grounds for a claim?
Whether what happened to you could support a legal case at all.
How the Turkish system works
The route a claim actually takes, explained in plain terms, not legalese.
The steps and the time limits
What the process looks like, and the deadlines that quietly matter most.
What compensation can cover
What you might realistically recover, and, just as honestly, what you can’t.
How to find the right lawyer
What to look for, and how being connected to a law firm works.
How our guides are made
We do one thing: gather the information that’s hard to find, and make it easy to understand.
Researched from official sources
Our guides are built on Turkish law, regulations and official guidance, not clinic marketing.
Written clearly
Complex legal and medical detail, translated into language anyone can follow.
Kept up to date
We revisit and update our guides as the law and the landscape change.
