IVF in
Turkey

It’s hard to look past Turkey as a top destination for fertility treatment. When it comes to IVF, the country offers an attractive combination of world-renowned specialists and state-of-the-art medical facilities that are continuing to attract hundreds of international patients every year.

Before booking their treatment though, prospective parents commonly ask, 'how much is IVF in Turkey?' Below, we’ve outlined the starting price for one cycle of IVF in Turkey, compared to the UK and other countries throughout Europe. Just bear in mind that these prices are not fixed or guaranteed, since IVF is dependent on patients' individual circumstances, where factors like requiring egg, sperm or embryo donation, and how many cycles needed will determine the overall cost.

Which Factors Influence the Cost of IVF in Turkey?

Although IVF costs in Turkey tend to be significantly cheaper than in the UK, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the quality of treatment is lower. The standards of care in Turkey match — and often exceed — what you’d get at home. There are a few reasons why IVF prices in Turkey are so low, as well as some important factors that can affect the overall cost.

• Lower living and labour costs: cheap IVF prices in Turkey are primarily due to the lower living and labour costs in the country, when compared with others in Europe. This, combined with a large healthcare workforce, allows Turkish fertility clinics to offer the same high-quality treatment at a reduced price.

• An increasingly competitive market: one contributing factor to the affordability of IVF in Turkey relates to the growing number of specialists and clinics in the country. This has created an increasingly competitive market which has, in turn, helped to drive down prices for aspiring parents.

• Clinic choice: IVF costs in Turkey can vary based on the clinic you choose. Many Turkish fertility clinics have received international recognition (such as JCI-accreditation) for their high standards of care. While prices at these clinics may be on the more expensive end, the quality of treatment offered makes this a better option than simply trying to find the cheapest price available.
