Check the Turkish state's own records — authorization is a public fact, not something to take on any website's word. The Ministry of Health's Health-Tourism Department (shgmturizmdb.saglik.gov.tr) publishes the authorization lists, USHAŞ (ushas.gov.tr) coordinates the program, and HealthTürkiye (healthturkiye.gov.tr) is the official provider platform. Ask the hospital for its international-health-tourism authorization certificate number, then match it against those sources. Our authorization mirror lists who IS authorized with a source link on every row — and stays empty until each row is verified against the official record.
