Who travels internationally for regenerative medicine, and what decides where they go?

This annual report tracks countries of origin, treatment categories, length of stay, the questions patients ask before booking, referral patterns and the factors that decide clinic selection. The 2027 edition reports enquiry and consultation data collected across the preceding year; the survey instrument and category definitions are published here in advance so results can be checked.

What we know

  • Enquiry and consultation data can be categorised consistently when the categories are fixed in advance.
  • Decision factors are recorded from what patients state at consultation, not inferred from marketing performance.

What remains uncertain

  • The sample reflects people who contacted one Istanbul centre and is not representative of the global market.
  • Self-reported decision factors are subject to recall and courtesy bias.

The survey instrument

  • How did you first hear about this centre?
  • Which other providers did you seriously consider, and in which countries?
  • What three questions mattered most before you decided?
  • Which factor decided it: evidence, price, laboratory documentation, physician, language support, timing?
  • Did a clinician at home advise for or against travelling?
  • How many nights did you stay, and was that what you planned?

Publication and correction policy

Category counts publish with the denominator and the collection window. Where a category is too small to report without risking identification, it is grouped rather than dropped.

Corrections are published on this page with a dated note; earlier editions remain accessible rather than being silently rewritten.

Questions about this report

So readers can see the questions were not written to produce a flattering answer, and so other centres can reuse the frame.

It is patient-journey data. Clinical outcomes are handled separately in the outcomes registry, which has its own protocol.
