The gastric-sleeve page quotes '£8,000 to £15,000' only as a UK price for comparison; it is not a Medicana price. The group serves millions of local patients; the international site does not name a single dedicated international hospital. The JCI list names three Istanbul hospitals; a visitor should ask which one will treat them.
