<p>On 4 October, HM Ambassador met with the Turkish Minister of Health and discussed
the importance of mutual cooperation and clear advice to ensure the safety of increasing
numbers of British Nationals seeking elective medical treatments in Turkey. HMA continues
high level engagement with the Turkish Minister of Health and Minister of Culture
and Tourism on the issue. On their visit, Department of Health and Social Care officials
engaged with the Turkish Ministry of Health on patient safety measures for UK patients
undertaking planned medical treatment in Turkey, as well as exploring the support
to UK tourists to Turkey who may need emergency healthcare. Our Embassy in Ankara
will continue to engage regularly with the Turkish authorities on these issues. We
keep our central online guidance up to date, as well as the FCDO Travel Advice for
Turkey.</p>
