The person behind MedAssist

Orhan Arslan

CEO & Founder

Orhan Arslan is the founder and CEO of MedAssist. He has worked in health tourism since 2018. He also contributes to academic studies at national and international congresses and conferences.

Born in 1967, he studied Health Management at Hacettepe University from 1986 to 1991. He went on to earn a master's degree in Hospital Administration and Organisation there. From 1991 to 1995, he was a founding manager in Ministry of Health hospitals. Between 1997 and 2002, he was a regional manager at Ethicon. In that role, he also taught laparoscopic surgery techniques and the use of products. From 2002 to 2006, he worked as a medical products marketing manager.

From 2007 to 2011, he coordinated health services in tourism regions. From 2012 to 2018, he coordinated neonatal and adult intensive care units in private hospitals. That coordination background shapes how MedAssist works today. MedAssist arranges and accompanies each journey; medical decisions stay with the treating doctor.

Understand the process

Uncertainty drops. The next step becomes visible.

Six stops, from your first message to your last check-up.

  1. Stop 01

    The first conversation

    You write in your own language. We listen first, then explain what the next step looks like.

  2. Stop 02

    Your file and the doctor's opinion

    Your reports reach the relevant specialist. The medical assessment belongs to that doctor, not to us.

  3. Stop 03

    Your plan, and the policy

    We will provide you with a written plan detailing every aspect of your treatment. We will also arrange complication insurance in your name.

    Insurance policy issued

  4. Stop 04

    Flight and arrival

    Travel, transfers, and accommodations are all planned together. We’ll meet you at the airport.

  5. Stop 05

    At the hospital

    Your treatment will take place at a contracted and accredited hospital. A coordinator will be available to assist you throughout the process, and you’ll be able to communicate with them in your own language.

  6. Stop 06

    After you go home

    Your post-treatment follow-up appointments will continue at one, three, and six months. During this time, you can contact the same coordinator.

Our assurance

Assurance you can open and read.

Four documents stand behind the word. Each one is a file, not a promise.

  • Complication insurance

    A policy is issued in your name before you travel. Its scope and limits are written out, not summarised.

  • Legal counsel

    If something goes wrong, you are not left to handle a foreign legal system on your own.

The person on the other end

At the airport when you land. On the phone until your last check-up.

A coordinator is assigned in your language. The same person stays with you through every stage, so you never restart the conversation.

Patient stories

Stories told with consent.

We publish a story only when written consent is on file. No before-and-after images.

No consented story has been published yet. This section stays empty until one is.

Live indicators

Numbers we can show a source for.

Live indicators connect once the source system is in place. Until then nothing is displayed here.

Before you ask

Questions people actually send us.

  • It depends on your passport. We tell you which document applies to you and prepare the invitation letter your consulate asks for.

  • Accommodation is arranged near the hospital and written into your plan, with the number of nights stated.

  • The policy covers complications within its defined scope and limits. You receive the document itself, not a summary of it.

  • The plan states the amount and the stages before you commit to anything. There is no deposit to hold a date.

  • A coordinator is assigned in your language and stays with you from the first message to the last check-up.

  • Yes. Your companion is included in the transfer and accommodation plan from the start.
