Turkish stem cell therapy packages for ankylosing spondylitis include the core treatment, specialist consultations, and medical imaging. Most bundles feature VIP airport transfers and 24-hour nursing support. They also include preoperative screenings like electrocardiograms for patient safety in JCI-accredited facilities in Istanbul or Bursa.
- Core treatment: Includes autologous or donor stem cell injections performed under sedation.
- Clinical screenings: Covers preoperative blood tests, chest X-rays, and electrocardiograms (ECG).
- Specialist consultations: Features appointments with orthopaedic specialists and anaesthetists before the procedure.
- Ground logistics: Provides VIP transfers between the airport, hotel, and medical centre.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Many packages are labelled all-inclusive, but accommodation is often excluded from the base price. At clinics like Turan Turan Health Group, patients receive 1 day of hospital stay. However, hotel nights are separate. Budgeting for A$9,700 to A$16,600 covers the medical procedure while allowing for independent hotel bookings.
Patient Consensus: Patients recommend requesting a line-by-line inclusion list before travelling to Turkey. They also suggest confirming the cell source in writing. Finally, they recommend clarifying the delivery route of cells and checking if medical reports are provided in English.
