03 / Treatment inside the European Union
Budapest is in Hungary, an EU member state.
Treatment here takes place within the European Union's legal and regulatory environment, including the EU framework governing medical devices. Türkiye is an EU candidate country, but it is not an EU member state; its national framework applies there.
EU membership does not guarantee the outcome of medical treatment. It identifies the regulatory environment in which the treatment takes place.

We are not here to tell you otherwise. We are asking you to compare.
