Public hospitals in Turkey started to provide medical services for foreign tourists. This is announced in the statement of the Federal Tourism Agency (Rostourism).

The agency noted that about the changes in terms of medical service for foreign tourists in Turkey, Rosturizm was informed by the Turkish Embassy in Moscow. The Embassy has received a letter from the Ministry of Health of Turkey with a thorough explanation of the issue.
