A warning has been issued to people who intend to travel to Turkey for medical treatments following the deaths of 22 British nationals.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is urging travellers to carry out their own research into medical treatments and facilities before deciding to have any work done abroad. On its website, the FCDO says: "The term ‘medical tourism’ refers to those tourists who have chosen to have medical/surgical/dental treatment abroad.
"Cosmetic surgery, dental procedures and cardiac surgery are the most common procedures that medical tourists undertake. The standard of medical facilities and available treatments vary widely around the world.
