Is Istanbul Baltalimanı Metin Sabancı Bone Diseases Training and Research Hospital listed as authorised for international health tourism?
Yes — listed on the Ministry of Health register as of 2026-10-30 (document ST-5960). This site has read it on the register since 2026-09-17.
Being on the register says a facility holds the authorisation. It is not a quality or safety verdict; that is what an independent investigation is for.

What the register cannot tell you: whether the clinicians are skilled, whether a plan is right for you, or what happens if something goes wrong. The licence is permission, not a quality mark. How to verify a licence yourself.

How verification works: when we retrieve a document we record its SHA-256 fingerprint and sign a W3C Verifiable Credential naming that fingerprint. Every night a sample of documents is fetched again from our storage, re-hashed and its signature re-checked. This proves the copy has not changed since we retrieved it. It does not prove that the authority still considers the document in force — that is the regulatory status above. Our method.
