Overview of Medical-Related Deaths in Turkey

The loss of a loved one due to medical negligence is a devastating and life-altering tragedy. While medical procedures—whether cosmetic, fertility, or surgical—are intended to improve health and well-being, errors and malpractice can lead to fatal outcomes.

In Turkey, where many international patients seek medical treatments, deaths linked to negligent care, unlicensed practitioners, or inadequate emergency response are an increasing concern.

​

Common causes of medical-related deaths include:

​​​

​

• Surgical errors during or after the procedure

• Anaesthesia complications leading to respiratory or cardiac arrest

• Severe infections due to poor hygiene or delayed treatment

• Blood clots and embolisms not promptly diagnosed or treated

• Failure to monitor vital signs or respond to emergencies

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of life-threatening conditions

• Inadequate aftercare and failure to recognise complications early

​

Losing a loved one in such circumstances raises complex emotional and legal challenges. Families may be entitled to wrongful death compensation to cover funeral costs, lost financial support, and the profound impact of their loss.
