Your Treatment
Limitation of Liability: Mia Health Turkey does not provide medical advice nor does operate or control any Treatment Provider facility or service rendered by them. Your treatment forms and prompts a contractual relationship between you and the Treatment Provider providing the treatment. We do not hold medical qualifications and shall not be held responsible or liable for any medical procedures provided through your chosen Treatment Provider. Nor shall be held responsible or liable for any care, treatment, or other services you are provided with by the same, or for any malpractice claims that may arise directly or indirectly from their advice. Similarly, we shall not take any responsibility or liability for the complications and dissatisfactions arising from Treatment Provider’s treatments. Our role is solely to facilitate a consultation and/or dialogue between you and your Treatment Provider. We strongly recommend that you read Treatment Provider’s terms and conditions and consent forms carefully prior to proceeding with your treatments.
Pre-operative evaluation is done to give you approximate information about your compliance with the procedures you have requested. Treatment plans provided by Mia Health Turkey as a result of email exchanges, phone calls or video consultations are based entirely on information provided by you and reviewed by the Treatment Provider (i.e., pictures, your medical history form, test results, prescriptions, x-rays, etc.). However, the final evaluation will be done by the surgeon during the consultation just before surgery, and a laboratory test will be performed prior to surgery to confirm your eligibility to have the procedures you have requested. Therefore, your treatment plan may change when the Treatment Provider personally examines you prior to your treatment and based on your laboratory test results. Final invoice is subject to final consultation and physical examination evaluation and laboratory results prior to the operation.
If such a change occurs, you have the option not to go ahead. In such circumstances, you will receive a refund after deductions for, among other things, tests, and consultations. Please be advised that we are not responsible for refunding your accommodation, travel and transfer costs as those arrangements are made through third party providers, which are not in our control nor operated by us.
If you want to proceed with the new treatment plan, then you will receive a revised price quotation, and the balance to the Service Provider will be adjusted, based on the initial payments made. The number of days that you would need to stay in Turkey will be factored in. If the treatment plan changes, the duration of stay may also change. Mia Health Turkey takes no responsibility for this and cannot be held liable for the non-arrangement or disorganisation of extra days stayed or extra cost of stay.
By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree not to hold Mia Health Turkey responsible for medical negligence or malpractice by your chosen Treatment Provider.
Non-Disparagement: By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree not to attack or criticize Mia Health Turkey or any of its employee, associate, or partner publicly (review websites, social media networks, blogs, public forums etc.) in regard to Treatment Provider’s treatments and actions.

The Treatment Provider may withdraw from the Contract prior to the commencement of medical performance if the Treatment Provider is unable to fulfill its obligations to perform care based on the patient's medical findings and compliance with the medical treatment chosen. Depending on the patient's medical findings, the doctor may refuse to perform an unsuitable surgery or may refuse, believing that some treatment findings increase the risk of surgery.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
In case of medical discrepancy or conflict for imputability of malpractice carried out by the patient, the parts establish and agree that all judicial action must be carried out by the patient towards the surgeon/professional within the jurisdiction of the Izmir of the Republic of Turkey, and that action will not be extended towards Medical Trawell., since it is a company that puts at the disposition of the patient different professional option without exercising medicine professionally.
