Özet:

 


Samsun has a great potential for health
tourism with its geographic location, suitable climate, transportation
advantages, accommodation infrastructure, qualified health personnel and
hospitals with high technology utilities. However, information about their
experiences and perceptions of health travellers coming to Samsun in the
context of health tourism are incomplete or inadequate. The aim of the study is
to analyse the current status and potential of health tourism in Samsun by
taking the opinions of international patients. This analysis is carried out in
order to provide theoretical, analytical and finally concrete support for the
development of health tourism in Samsun. This research was carried out by
scanning method. In the scope of this method, data were collected with
open-ended questions from foreign patients who came to Samsun for treatment
purposes. Since the data collected with these tools have qualitative content,
it is made to be quantitative and analysed with descriptive analysis. According
to this study, the most important factor for international patients to choose
Samsun and the health institution is trust in Turkish doctors and health
personnel. The Internet is the most important source of information for
international patients about Samsun and hospitals in Samsun. The satisfaction
rate from health institutions in Samsun is high, and this is one of the most reasons
for the increase in the number of patients coming to Samsun.
