“All inclusive” is the phrase people search for most when planning surgery in Turkey, yet it has no fixed meaning: two packages with the same name can cover very different things. In this guide New City Clinic sets out what a complete package contains, what is commonly left out and how to compare offers fairly.
What a complete package should contain
The medical part comes first: the surgeon’s and anaesthetist’s fees, operating theatre and hospital stay, pre-operative blood tests and any imaging, medication during your stay, and the garments or support bra needed afterwards. Then the travel part: hotel nights for the planned length of stay, private transfers between airport, hotel and hospital, and an interpreter at appointments. Check-ups before you fly home belong in the package as well.
What is often not included
Flights are rarely included, and neither is travel insurance. Extra hotel nights if you need to stay longer, medication to take home beyond the first days, additional tests requested because of a health condition, and meals outside the hospital are frequent extras. Accommodation for a companion may or may not be covered. None of this is a problem as long as it is written down before you commit.
How to compare two offers
Ask each provider for the same list: hospital name, surgeon name, nights in hospital, nights in the hotel, tests, garments, transfers, interpreter and follow-up. Put the answers side by side. A noticeably cheaper offer usually differs in the hospital, the length of stay or what happens if something does not go to plan. Ask how a revision or a complication would be handled and who pays for what.
How New City Clinic prepares a quote
A physician reviews your photographs and medical information first, because the plan determines the price and not the other way round. You then receive a written quote that lists each item separately, together with the name of the hospital and the planned length of stay. Nothing is added later without your agreement. Prices are not published as a single figure because they depend on the technique and on your individual plan.
An all-inclusive surgery package with New City Clinic
New City Clinic is an authorised health tourism intermediary registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye. When you contact New City Clinic about an all-inclusive surgery package, a physician first reviews your photos and medical information, and you then receive a written treatment plan with an itemised quote. Once you arrive in Istanbul, the New City Clinic team organises your airport welcome, accommodation, hospital appointments and interpreting. Your procedure is performed by a specialist physician at a Ministry of Health approved partner hospital, and follow-up continues after you return home.
Aftercare
Medication and check-ups
Take the medication your physician prescribes as directed and attend your planned check-ups.
Smoking and alcohol

Movement and rest
Short walks support circulation; wait for your physician’s approval before strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.
When to get in touch
Contact your New City Clinic coordinator straight away in case of high fever, increasing pain, redness or anything unexpected.
Frequently asked questions
Are flights included in all-inclusive packages?
Usually not. Most packages start from your arrival at Istanbul airport, where a transfer meets you. Check this point in writing.
Is a companion included?
It depends on the offer. New City Clinic can add a companion’s accommodation and transfers to your plan on request.
Why is there no fixed price list?
The right operation, hospital and length of stay differ from person to person. A price given before a physician has assessed you is a guess, and guesses tend to change later.
Deciding on an all-inclusive surgery package is a confident step when it is taken with the right information and the right team. You can book a free consultation with the New City Clinic team for your questions.
