First In Global Medical Tourism: Interest-free Instalment Plans For Medical Travel With Longevita

Longevita, the UK’s leading medical travel group who attract patients from over 100 countries to Turkey for medical treatments, have begun offering interest-free instalment plans for medical tourists seeking hair transplants, plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry.

Longevita’s payment plans, prepared in liaison with the UK’s consumer finance firms, help position Turkey as the leading destination for affordable high quality private healthcare. Longevita provides all-inclusive medical travel packages comprising of private medical procedures, luxury hotel accommodation, VIP private transfers, hosting, and translation services to international patients. Now, patients can spread the cost of their treatments, over 12 months, interest-free.

Longevita Executive Director Kagan Seymenoglu stated: “We are proud to be the first and only medical travel provider offering interest-free payment plans to international patients. It is no question that price is one of the most important decision factors in medical travel.”

“Financial institutions in Turkey would not lend to international patients because they would not be able to chase non-residents to claim losses if the loans are not repaid. Similarly, financial institutions in the UK would not lend against medical procedures performed in Turkey, because the qualifications of the healthcare providers are not valid in the UK.”

Longevita is set to act as a bridge between the UK and Turkey, addressing the differences in legal, health and financial systems across these countries. For example, with Longevita’s £1400 hair transplant in Turkey package, patients can pay £200 upfront deposit and spread the rest of the cost over 12 months for only £100 a month interest-free.

This means it is now possible to get a FUE hair transplant in Turkey with Longevita for only £100 a month. The exact same procedure would cost £10,000 in London, £6000 in Manchester, or €10,000 in Dublin. Similar 0% APR payment plans are available for other types of procedures such as breast surgery, rhinoplasty or dental implants.

Executive Director Kagan Seymenoglu added: “The plan in the near future is to benefit from the low interest environment in the UK and start offering longer terms for procedures like a hair transplant in Turkey, with these payment plans. For example, over 48 months, one should not be surprised to see Longevita offering a hair transplant in Turkey for only £1 a day, less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks.”

Longevita has been operating since 2012 out of offices in London, Istanbul and Izmir. Their medical representatives hold regular consultations every quarter in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin.
