Is Merkez Prime Hospital listed as authorised for international health tourism?

Yes — listed on the Ministry of Health register as of 2026-10-27 (document ST-1188). This site has read it on the register since 2026-09-17.

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.

What the records establish — and what remains to be established

What the records establish

  • Listed on the Ministry of Health's health-tourism register as of 2026-10-27, reference ST-1188.
  • International Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate ST-1188: copy on file, hashed on 2026-10-28.
  • Operating Licence and Activity Permit: copy on file, hashed on 2026-10-28.
  • 32 clinicians on the register record as of 2026-10-27.

What remains to be established

  • Which physicians are currently affiliated with the facility?
  • Does the address match how it appears in other official sources?
  • Is the authorisation's current status re-confirmed with the Ministry?
  • What does official correspondence about the facility say?

The same open questions apply to every clinic. They are not findings about this one.

Each document is also published as a W3C Verifiable Credential, signed by us so a machine can confirm the file has not changed since we fetched it. The signature is ours, not the Ministry's, and the credential status says only whether we still stand behind the copy — not whether the authorisation is in force.
