Prices are copied as published, in the provider's currency. Conversions use the European Central Bank reference rates of 23 October 2026 and are rounded. A provider can change a price at any time: ask for a written quote.
Few Turkish hospitals publish price lists. The figures here are a hospital group's international “starting from” prices, a dental clinic's worked example and a medical-travel clinic's eye-surgery package, so ask each one for a written, itemised quote.
Against waiting or paying in the UK
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for a cancer screening package in the UK.
Can the NHS pay?
NHS and HSE schemes do not reach Turkey. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in Turkey is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.

Cancer screening in Turkey from the UK: questions
How much is a cancer screening package in Turkey for UK patients?
The published prices we found work out at £1,720–£2,390 at the clinic, from Liv Hospital (Ulus and Vadistanbul, Istanbul). Adding a rough travel estimate of £410 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about £2,130. Your own fares and dates will change that part.
Is it cheaper than paying privately in the UK?
We have not verified a self-pay price in the UK for this, so compare the trip total with a written quote from a provider at home.
How long is the wait for a cancer screening package in the UK?
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in the UK.
How many days do I need in Turkey?
One day for most packages; two if an endoscopy is included. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will the NHS pay for it?
No. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU and a few other European countries; Turkey is outside it.
