Learn About Treatment Programs

Florence Healthcare International connects you with Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals, a hospital network based in Istanbul with decades of experience and a dedicated Center for International Patients. You get one point of contact for scheduling, record review, interpreters, travel help, and cost estimates… the stuff that usually turns into a dozen emails. It also helps that the hospitals sit in major Istanbul neighborhoods, so your stay feels workable instead of chaotic.

Here’s how treatment programs usually get set up for international patients (and yes, people do bring a family member, all the time):

  • Review of your records and questions before you travel
     
  • Appointment planning across the right departments, plus timing that fits your trip
     
  • Interpreter options and on-the-ground coordination in Istanbul, plus transfers as needed
     
  • Clear billing support, insurance paperwork help, and discharge planning for home follow-up, it’s a lot but we handle it
