Visitors to Turkey need to ensure that they have comprehensive medical insurance that will cover them for any activities that they may take part in while in the country. Treatment is expensive at Turkish hospitals, although the standard that you can expect to receive is high, particularly in the main tourist areas.
Although the main risks to health in the country are food poisoning, and sun burn, some rural areas put you at risk of Malaria - particularly in the south east of the country during summer, and it's a good idea to visit your GP prior to travel in order to check that any vaccinations - TB, tetanus etc are up to date.
