    How Do I Verify a Clinic Abroad?

    By Sofi Nurashvili ยท Medically reviewed by GlobMedTrust partner surgeons ยท Updated 1 Jun 2025

    Verifying a clinic's credentials remotely can feel difficult โ€” but it's essential. Here's a practical checklist.

    Check Accreditation

    Look for international accreditation such as JCI (Joint Commission International) or equivalent national certification. Accredited facilities undergo rigorous audits covering safety protocols, equipment standards, staff qualifications, and hygiene.

    Verify Licensing

    Ensure the clinic is properly licensed to perform surgical procedures. In Turkey, licensed hospitals must meet strict government standards. Avoid facilities that operate as 'clinics' rather than licensed hospitals โ€” the regulation gap can be significant.

    Review Patient Experiences

    Look for independent reviews on platforms outside the clinic's own website. Pay attention to detailed accounts โ€” not just star ratings. Look for comments about the actual surgical experience, aftercare quality, and how complications were handled.

    Before-and-After Results

    Request before-and-after photos from the clinic. Look for consistent quality across multiple cases, natural-looking outcomes, and results from procedures similar to yours.
