GMP Laboratory Supported Stem Cell Therapy in Turkey
A Safe and Innovative Approach for Health Tourism
In recent years, Turkey has become a significant hub in the field of stem cell and regenerative medicine. Particularly thanks to its laboratory infrastructure adhering to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, safe and controlled cellular applications are offered to international patients.
As Turkish Medical Centers, we provide services through international patient coordination, a multidisciplinary staff of physicians, and collaborations with advanced technology laboratories.
What is a GMP Laboratory?
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) is an international production standard that ensures cellular products are prepared in a sterile, traceable, and quality-controlled manner.
In Turkey, cell processing procedures are carried out in accordance with Ministry of Health regulations.
These processes include:
Cell isolation
Cell expansion (if required)
Sterility and quality control tests
Safety analyses prior to application
Stem Cell Application Areas
🦴 Orthopedic Diseases
Knee calcification (Osteoarthritis)
Hip and shoulder arthritis
Tendon injuries
Sports injuries
Degenerative conditions due to lumbar and cervical herniated discs
Objective: To support tissue healing and assist in pain management.
🧠 Neurological Diseases
Parkinson’s disease
MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
Post-stroke rehabilitation
Spinal cord injury
Applications in these areas are generally evaluated within the scope of supportive and research-based approaches.
🌈 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition. Stem cell applications in this field are evaluated at the clinical research level. The objective is based on studies regarding neuroinflammation and cellular mechanisms.
⚠️ Important Note: Stem cell applications for autism are not presented as a definitive cure. Each patient is examined for suitability following an individual evaluation.
♿ Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Cerebral Palsy is a permanent movement disorder resulting from brain damage before or after birth.
Applications in this field include:
Motor function support
Contribution to the rehabilitation process
Evaluation alongside a multidisciplinary treatment plan
Applications in the field of CP are handled within the framework of ethics committees and relevant legislation.
🧬 Autoimmune and Chronic Diseases
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lupus
Crohn’s disease
Diabetic complications
Objective: Research-based approaches directed toward the regulation of the immune system.
