80 clinics currently on Foxpare, all cross-checked against the Turkish Ministry of Health's international health tourism records.
To legally treat international patients, a Turkish hair transplant facility must hold an international health tourism authorization issued by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health. This is separate from — and in addition to — the standard license to operate as a health institution inside Turkey. The Ministry publishes the list of authorized facilities and updates it as new clinics are approved or existing authorizations lapse.
Authorization confirms that the clinic is a legally registered health institution and is permitted under Turkish law to serve non-resident patients under the health tourism framework.
Authorization does not confirm that a specific surgeon will personally perform your procedure, that outcomes will be aesthetically successful, that pricing is transparent, or that the sales process is honest. It is a floor — a legal minimum — not a quality guarantee. For international patients, it matters because operating without this authorization means the clinic is outside the regulated framework entirely.
Once you're inside the authorized pool, the remaining decision is personal rather than official — our guide on how to find the best clinic for your case walks through the checks that actually separate one authorized clinic from another.

Türkiye requires facilities treating international patients to hold an international health tourism authorization from the Turkish Ministry of Health. It confirms the facility is a licensed health institution meeting the Ministry's standards for treating international patients — including staffing, facility and patient-support requirements. It is a regulatory baseline, not a quality ranking.
Don't rely on a badge image on a clinic's website. The Ministry publishes its list of authorized international health tourism facilities through its official channels. Search for the clinic's registered facility name, which sometimes differs from its brand name — if you can't find it, ask the clinic directly for its registered name and authorization number. A legitimate clinic shares both without friction; hesitation is itself an answer.
No. Authorization is a floor, not a ceiling. It tells you the facility is real, licensed and regulated — which rules out the unlicensed operators behind most serious incidents. It says nothing about surgical skill, who personally performs your procedure, aesthetic judgment, or how honest the sales process is. Use it as your entry requirement, then apply your own checks within the authorized pool.
Authorization is held by a large number of facilities across Türkiye, and the list changes as clinics gain or lose it. Foxpare lists only clinics whose authorization we have verified against the Ministry's official records, and we note the date each was last checked.
Every clinic is checked against the Ministry's official records before being listed, each listing carries its last-verified date, and any clinic whose authorization lapses is removed from the platform.
Facilities treating international patients are required to hold the authorization. A clinic operating outside that framework is operating outside Türkiye's regulated system for international patients — which is precisely the situation you want to avoid, since it also means limited recourse if something goes wrong.
