Turkey warning as Foreign Office releases new travel advice for UK visitors

The Foreign Office has issued a warning to people travelling from the UK to Turkey for weight loss treatments.

Many people visit Turkey to undergo cosmetic surgery, dental procedures and cardiac surgery. However, the standard of some medical facilities has caused the UK government concern.

Since January 2019, 22 British nationals have died in Turkey following medical procedures. There are also reports of an outbreak of botulism cases linked to weight loss treatments performed in Istanbul and Izmir.
