Who We Are and What We Do

At Aslan & Lewis International Health Services we are a team of client centred professionals.  We understand that every healthcare journey is unique and knowing this, we connect you to the medical expertise that you require to help you make the best healthcare decisions as you travel on your personal international health care journey. 

Our team consists of health, travel and customer service experts who will always put you first.  We will respond to your requests for service promptly and will help you with everything from organizing your travel, accommodation and tours to your onsite pre and post operative medical care services.  With Aslan & Lewis International Health Services you will always come first.

We only work with accredited hospitals and surgeons who have expertise in their field.  The reason costs are more affordable in Türkiye is that there is a competitive private healthcare sector which encourages prices to be lower.  This competition along with the vast amount of private hospitals and clinics helps to keep costs manageable for international patients.  Türkiye also benefits from a favourable currency exchange which along with a lower cost of living and therefore lower wages helps to keep surgical options more affordable.

At Aslan & Lewis International Health Services we have a list of available services that you can choose from, you choose as little or as much support as you want and we will build your individualized service package tailored to meet your unique needs.

Sue Lewis

Sue is an experienced healthcare leader who believes that everyone should have access to affordable, excellent health care services when they need it and when they want it. 

After seeing the long wait times for consults and the even longer wait times for elective surgeries as well as the high prices of private surgical clinics Sue knew there had to be a better option. 

Sue completed a lot of research on international options and then travelled to Istanbul to meet with accredited health care teams, surgeons, clinics and hospitals where she learned about the service excellence and culture of care that is available in Türkiye. 

It was there that she realized there is a better way to get people the healthcare procedures they want, when they want them and at an affordable price.  From this knowledge she along with her partners started Aslan & Lewis International Health Services, a company that will always have a client centred approach to customer service. 

Sue understands that travelling abroad for medical services is a big decision and strives to ensure that each persons personal health care journey is tailored to their unique needs – from start to finish.  Sue works hard to always ensure that the caring and compassionate team at Aslan & Lewis provide excellence in customer service to each and every client.
