Full-Body Health Check-Up Packages in Turkey
Comprehensive screening explained honestly — what it can and cannot tell you.
Turkey’s major hospital groups offer comprehensive health check-up packages aimed at international visitors: a structured set of blood tests, imaging (ultrasound, sometimes CT or MRI) and specialist consultations completed within a single short visit, typically 1 to 2 days. These packages are useful for general screening and peace of mind, and can surface issues worth investigating further, but they are not a diagnostic substitute for symptom-driven care — a package is a screening tool, not a way to work up a specific complaint you already have. Navivera helps you choose a package that matches your age, sex, family history and risk factors rather than the most expensive one on the menu, and one Care Navigator coordinates the visit and gets your results explained in plain language.
What a typical package can include
- Blood Panel
- A broad set of blood tests covering blood count, metabolic markers, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, thyroid function and relevant tumour markers appropriate to your age and sex.
- Cardiac Screening
- Resting ECG and, in more complete packages, an echocardiogram or exercise stress test to check heart rhythm and function.
- Abdominal Ultrasound
- Non-invasive imaging of the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen to screen for structural abnormalities.
- Cancer Screening (Age- and Sex-Appropriate)
- Options such as mammography, Pap smear, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing or colonoscopy referral, selected according to standard screening guidelines for your profile, not applied indiscriminately.
- Specialist Consultation
- A internal medicine or general health physician reviews all results with you and refers you to a specialist for anything that needs follow-up.
Why patients choose a check-up package in Turkey
Many patients combine a check-up with a visit for another reason, or choose Turkey because a comprehensive package that would take weeks to schedule piecemeal at home can be completed in a day or two, at a hospital with modern imaging equipment and a fast turnaround on lab results.
Choosing the right package for you
Hospitals typically offer several tiers — basic, comprehensive, and executive or age/sex-specific packages (for example, a women’s health package with mammography and gynaecological screening, or a men’s package with PSA testing). The right choice depends on your age, family history and any risk factors, not on picking the most expensive tier. If you have specific symptoms, tell your Care Navigator before booking — a symptom should usually be worked up as its own visit with the relevant specialist, not folded into a general screening package.
How pricing works, and why you will not find a price list here
Pricing depends on which tests are included, the hospital tier, and whether imaging beyond ultrasound (CT, MRI) is added. We ask the hospital to confirm exactly what is included in writing and send a quote within 24 hours, matched to the package that fits your profile rather than upselling a more expensive one.
What to check before you book anywhere
Before booking, it is worth asking:
- Is the hospital authorised by the Ministry of Health to treat international patients?
- Exactly which tests and imaging are included in the package, in writing?
- Will a physician review the results with you in person or by video call before you leave, in a language you understand?
- How are results and any follow-up recommendations shared with your own doctor at home?
You can check the first question yourself: the Ministry of Health publishes its list of certified healthcare providers and facilitators on HealthTürkiye. Navivera is happy to be checked there too.
How Navivera approaches it
We only work with hospitals holding Ministry of Health authorisation for international patients. Your Care Navigator helps you pick the package that matches your profile, confirms exactly what is included in writing, and makes sure your results are explained clearly before you fly home, with a copy for your own doctor.
A typical visit: 1 to 2 days
- Before you flyYou confirm the package that matches your age, sex and any risk factors, and any fasting or preparation instructions for blood tests.
- Day 1Arrival, blood draw (usually fasting), imaging and any specialist consultations included in the package.
- Day 2Results review with a physician, explaining findings and any recommended follow-up, with a written report to take home.
What happens after
- ImmediatelyMost tests involved (blood draw, ultrasound, ECG) require no recovery time at all; you can resume normal activity straight away.
- Follow-upIf any result needs further investigation, your Care Navigator can help arrange a referral to the relevant specialist, in Turkey or coordinated with your doctor at home.
Full-body check-ups in Turkey: frequently asked questions
Is a check-up package a substitute for seeing a doctor about symptoms?
No. A check-up package is a general screening tool. If you already have a specific symptom, it should usually be investigated as its own visit with the relevant specialist rather than folded into a general package.
How long does it take?
Most comprehensive packages are completed within 1 to 2 days, including results review.
Which package should I choose?
This depends on your age, sex, family history and risk factors. Your Care Navigator can help match you to the right tier rather than the most expensive one.
Will I get my results explained clearly?
Yes — a physician should review all results with you in person or by video call, in a language you understand, before you leave.
Why does Navivera not show prices?
Because pricing depends on exactly which tests and imaging are included and the hospital tier. We confirm the package in writing and send a quote within 24 hours.
