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.

Official register
The licence number, the documents and the fields below come from the
Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health's health tourism register, last read on 2026-10-29. Social accounts,
photographs, equipment and the treatment list are entered by the clinic itself on that
same official portal.
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.
