ALZ Grup Joins Forces with Global Healthcare Accreditation to Promote Quality and Standards in Turkey’s Health Tourism Industry
Monday August 4th, West Palm Beach. Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with ALZ Grup Uluslararası Fuar Kongre veDanışmanlık A.Ş., a premier international organizer of health tourism expos based in Ankara, Turkey. ALZ Grup has become a trusted leader in the health tourism industry, connecting hospitals, clinics, agencies, and wellness facilities worldwide through high-quality events that foster collaboration and industry growth. With 13 successful expos held in major cities such as London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfurt, Baku, Moscow, and Sarajevo, ALZ Grup has built astrong reputation for credibility and excellence, supported by key institutions including the Ministry of Trade of Türkiye, TOBB, DEİK, TÜRSAB, and HİB.
Under the leadership of Tuğba Arız, Member of the Executive Board, ALZGrup will play a central role in advancing GHA’s mission in Turkey. Leveraging its extensive network and influence, the organization will actively promote GHA accreditation and training programs, helping healthcare institutions strengthen their operations, build patient trust, and achieve international recognition for excellence in medical travel.
Tuğba Arız shared, “Ensuring the right structure for healthcare delivery is critical to me as a healthcare management professional. The growth of health tourism must be matched with services that meet or exceed patients’ expectations, with full traceability and safety. Highlighting institutions that provide the best care—and differentiating them through accreditation—is key to building Turkey’s reputation as a global leader in this field.”
Through this partnership, ALZ Grup will integrate GHA into its highly visible expos, expanding awareness of global best practices and the value of accreditation in medical travel. The collaboration is designed to support the adoption of GHA standards by hospitals and clinics across Turkey, with the shared goal of onboarding multiple healthcare institutions for accreditation within the next year and increasing participation in GHA’s training programs for health tourism professionals.
Turkey has become one of the fastest-growing medical travel destinations, offering a wide variety of services to international patients. However, while the country has strong national and international accreditation mechanisms such as JCI and TUSKA, there is still a need for specialized global standards focused on the unique needs of medical travelers. ALZ Grup’s partnership with GHA will help bridge this gap, ensuring healthcare providers are prepared to deliver safe, transparent, and culturally competent care for international patients before, during, and after their medical journey.
By combining ALZ Grup’s proven ability to convene key stakeholders with GHA’s expertise in accreditation and training, this collaboration is meant to create lasting impact in Turkey’s health tourism sector. It represents a significant opportunity to strengthen service quality, improve operational efficiency, and enhance global trust in Turkish healthcare institutions.
ALZ Grup is a premier organizer of international health tourism expos, bringing together top hospitals, clinics, agencies, and wellness facilities from across the globe. With its extensive network and credibility, ALZ Grup is committed to fostering collaboration and growth in the global health tourism industry.
