Getting from London to our Istanbul clinic
Direct flights from London (LHR, LGW, STN, LTN, LCY) to Istanbul (IST/SAW) run multiple times daily on Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Pegasus and easyJet — total flight time 3h 50m–4h 10m. Our coordinators schedule treatment around your arrival to minimize jet lag.
Why London patients choose our Istanbul clinic
- Wharton's Jelly MSC therapy not routinely offered on the NHS or in UK private practice
- Transparent fixed-cost program — typically 60–75% less than equivalent US/UK private quotes
- English-speaking medical coordinators throughout the journey
- Full concierge: airport pickup at IST, 4–5★ hotel coordination, recovery monitoring
Many of our London-based patients come to us after exhausting NHS pathways or being quoted £15,000–£40,000 by UK private practices for cell therapies of lower potency. We provide a free MRI / medical-record review before you fly, so your protocol is finalized in advance.

Questions from London patients
How long do London patients usually stay in Istanbul?
Most stem cell therapy programs require 3–5 days in Istanbul, depending on whether the protocol includes IV plus intra-articular or intrathecal delivery. Many London patients combine treatment with a long weekend.
Do I need a visa to travel from the UK to Turkey?
UK passport holders can enter Turkey visa-free for stays under 90 days, so no e-visa is required for a typical 3–7 day treatment trip.
How does the cost compare to UK private clinics?
Equivalent allogeneic Wharton's Jelly MSC protocols in UK private clinics are typically quoted at £15,000–£40,000. Our all-inclusive programs in Istanbul (cells + procedure + hotel + transfers) are usually 60–75% lower while using higher cell counts.
