Five groups of stakeholders (27 participants) were interviewed: hospitals/medical centers, medical travel-agencies, medical-legal regulators, government, and non-government organizations. Findings show that Turkey has a dual-sector public and private model of medical tourism service providers. Four interrelated themes with policy implications were generated: medical tourism promotion, logistics and development initiatives, medical cost, hospital quality accreditation, and other issues related to medical-legal, government incentives for Turkish diaspora, and promoting Turkish medical tourism overseas.EnglishHealthcareMedical tourismQualityStakeholdersThematic analysisTurkeyA qualitative analysis of Turkish stakeholders perspective for improving medical tourismArticle10.1002/jtr.25161522-1970
