How to Obtain the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate?
Introduction
In order to operate in the field of international health tourism, health facilities and intermediary institutions must obtain an authorization certificate. This certificate is issued by the Ministry of Health for healthcare facilities and by USHAŞ for intermediary institutions to ensure high service standards and compliance with international norms. So, how can you obtain an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate? Here’s a detailed overview of the process.
Authorization Process for Health Facilities
Application: Health facilities must apply via the EKİP platform, submitting the documents listed in Annex-1/A.
Document Review: The provincial/district health directorate reviews the documents. If there are deficiencies or non-compliance issues, the applicant is notified within 15 business days.
Correction of Deficiencies: If the applicant fails to correct deficiencies within 30 business days, the application is considered rejected.
On-Site Inspection: If documents are complete, an inspection team visits the facility for an on-site evaluation.
Ministry Approval: Applications deemed appropriate are forwarded to the Ministry of Health. If approved, the Authorization Certificate is issued within 15 business days.
Authorization Process for Intermediary Institutions
Application: Intermediary institutions must apply directly to USHAŞ, submitting the documents listed in Annex-1/B.
Document Review: USHAŞ reviews the submitted documents and notifies the applicant of any deficiencies or compliance issues within 15 business days.
Correction of Deficiencies: If the applicant does not resolve the issues within 30 business days, the application is rejected.
On-Site Inspection: If documents are complete, an on-site inspection is carried out.
USHAŞ Approval: If the inspection is successful, USHAŞ issues the Authorization Certificate within 15 business days.
Key Points to Remember
Separate Authorization for Each Branch: If a legal entity wants to open a second intermediary institution or branch, a separate authorization certificate must be obtained for each.
Non-Transferable: The International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate is non-transferable.
