Infertility is a health issue that affects approximately one in every 6–7 couples. In Türkiye, IVF treatment has become more accessible over the past five years with relatively reasonable costs. However, since many of the medications and laboratory materials are imported, treatment expenses remain influenced by fluctuations in foreign currencies such as the US Dollar and Euro.
Despite this, when compared to many other countries, IVF treatment in Türkiye remains cost-effective. This has positioned the country as one of the leading destinations for reproductive health tourism. In recent years, a significant proportion of patients receiving IVF treatment in Türkiye have been international couples.
Globally, IVF treatment costs typically range between 3,500 and 15,000 USD, whereas in Türkiye, the total cost — including medications — is approximately 2,000 to 2,250 USD. Importantly, success rates in Türkiye are comparable to global standards.
Additional procedures may be required depending on individual medical needs. These may include:
• Microsurgical TESE procedures for azoospermia cases
• Genetic embryo screening techniques such as PGT or NGS for couples with previous unsuccessful attempts
• Endoscopic procedures like hysteroscopy or laparoscopy for uterine, ovarian, or tubal pathologies
These advanced applications are also offered in Türkiye at more affordable rates, typically ranging between 1,000 and 3,000 USD.
IVF success rates generally begin to decline after six treatment attempts. In some countries, such as Israel, IVF is supported as a national policy and can be performed without a limit up to the age of 45. In Türkiye, government support is available for up to three attempts for married couples under the age of 39 who do not have a living child.
Overall, IVF treatment tends to be more commonly pursued in economically developed regions worldwide. Türkiye stands out as a preferred destination due to its balanced combination of affordability and competitive success rates.
