This country looks more like a cemetery than an hospital

Turkey is great for laser eye surgery treatment. There are specialists over there and many people, even from Western Europe, go to Turkey for such treatment.
There are other medical treatments in Turkey with very high standards. The prices are usually much cheaper than in Western European countries.
However, you have to know if the particular medical care you are looking for is of good quality in a particular hospital. A lot of things work that way in Turkey: Food, bars & clubs, doctors, interior designers or whatever you want.

I didn’t choose to go =) rather it was emergency. I also have medical care on a regular basis here. I suppose it depends on what you are comparing it to. Compared to US medical prices, my stay was practically free. The facilities are horrible, the equipment is adequate or better, the doctors (that I have encountered) were excellent if often abrupt, and the other medical staff was anywhere from sit-on-their-butt all-day tea drinkers to the best I’ve ever had.
One suggestion is to research your particular medical problem as far as which hospital is best. It really matters here, much more so than any country I have been in. Specialization is important. For example, Cerrahpasa’s rheumatology department is excellent, and the treatment is the latest available.
