Private medical insurances have high prices in the UK and this is another reason that people seek for alternative solutions for their health care issues. The number of people in the UK covered by private medical insurance (PMI) has been falling for several years. At one time, around 15% of the population was covered by PMI, in addition to their free NHS cover. But as premiums have risen, the percentage has fallen to around 10%. More people are opting to buy private healthcare on a self-pay basis, when they need it. More people may be considering the overseas option due to the relatively high cost of private treatment in the UK. Choosing Turkey as a treatment country has many benefits. Turkey is a country with a captivating culture and history, warm friendly people and a pleasant climate with refreshing breezes from the Aegean. Turkey has been the 12th most visited country by UK citizens but the growth from 2017 to 2018 was 16%, which put it in the 6th place in the ranking of growth.
