How Jelan Clinic works with patients travelling from the United States and Canada: remote assessment before travel, a written plan, and follow-up that continues after you return home.
What does Jelan Clinic do for a patient in the United States or Canada?
We coordinate. You send your photographs and medical history, we prepare your file, our specialised medical team assesses your case and makes every medical decision, you receive a written plan before committing to anything, and we arrange the journey and keep the follow-up channel open after you return home. Our specialised medical team decides when you are fit to travel home.
How Jelan Clinic works
Suitability, technique, medication, timing and fitness to travel are decided by our specialised medical team for your case. Our coordinating team arranges your journey and does not make medical judgements.
The programme, what it includes and excludes, and the expected length of stay are put in writing before you commit.
We do not promise outcomes, and we do not present treatment as risk-free. Every surgical procedure carries risks that our specialised medical team discusses with you before you decide.
You will not be given a deadline to decide.
Travelling from the United States or Canada
The assessment begins before any travel is arranged. You are not committed to an itinerary before the medical position is clear.
No return date is agreed before your condition is stable.
Flights between North America and Türkiye are long-haul. Our specialised medical team sets the recommended length of stay according to your case.
Staying with a companion can be arranged depending on the agreed programme; details are confirmed in writing.
Insurance and documents
Treatment abroad is generally not covered by domestic health arrangements in the United States or Canada. Confirm your own position directly with your insurer before travelling.
Arrange comprehensive travel insurance and ask your insurer in writing what is and is not covered. We do not advise on insurance and do not recommend policies.
Check current entry requirements for Türkiye with the official authorities, including passport validity requirements. We do not provide visa advice.
