Only 77 Hospitals and Clinics Worldwide Have TEMOS Accreditation: Where Are They?

A Medical Tourism Watch review found 77 healthcare facilities with active TEMOS accreditation or assessment status. Nearly three-quarters are concentrated in Georgia, Türkiye and Egypt.

A patient researching treatment abroad may see several quality badges on a hospital website.

JCI. ISO 9001. TEMOS.

They can look similar on a marketing page. They don’t measure exactly the same things, and their reach is very different.

To understand those differences, see Medical Tourism Watch’s comparison of JCI, TEMOS and ISO 9001 for medical tourists.

TEMOS is one of the smallest international accreditation networks in healthcare travel.

Medical Tourism Watch reviewed the official TEMOS directory on August 1, 2026. It contained 83 listed organizations worldwide. Six were medical travel coordinators rather than hospitals or clinics.

That left 77 healthcare facilities across 14 country or territory listings.

There is one legal footnote behind that number. Seventy-two providers are described as TEMOS-accredited. Five facilities in Greece hold the equivalent status of “Assessed Organization” because TEMOS says it cannot formally award accreditation within European Union jurisdictions. The same standards, assessment methods and award criteria are used.

The network is also highly concentrated.

Georgia has 29 listed facilities. Türkiye has 20. Egypt has eight. Together, those three countries account for 57 of the 77 providers, or 74% of the total.

Countries With the Most TEMOS-Accredited Hospitals and Clinics

The ranking counts individual facilities rather than parent companies. Five Anatolia hospitals in Türkiye, for example, appear as five separate organizations. The same approach applies to hospital groups and related clinics in Georgia and Greece.

What Is TEMOS Accreditation?

TEMOS International is a Germany-based healthcare accreditation organization founded in 2010. Its programs cover hospitals, outpatient clinics, dental care, reproductive medicine, ophthalmology, rehabilitation and medical travel coordination.

Its medical-tourism programs look beyond what happens inside the operating room.

They can examine how a provider manages the full international patient journey: the first inquiry, medical-record review, price information, travel preparation, arrival, treatment, discharge and follow-up after the patient returns home.

For its medical-tourism-focused hospital programs, TEMOS eligibility requirements include an international patient department or similar unit, access to multilingual staff or interpreters around the clock and experience managing international patients.

The organization must also be assessed as a whole. TEMOS states that accreditation of selected departments, individual services or doctors isn’t possible under these programs.

That whole-organization approach matters.

A hospital shouldn’t be able to market itself as internationally accredited because one small unit completed a limited review while the rest of the patient journey remained outside the assessment.

The normal accreditation period lasts three years. TEMOS requests progress reports after the first and second years and uses them for annual reviews.

Georgia Has More TEMOS Facilities Than Any Other Country

Georgia accounts for 29 of the 77 healthcare providers in the directory.

That’s more than the combined totals of Egypt, Greece, Trinidad and Tobago, Iraq, Thailand and Saudi Arabia.

The Georgian facilities are spread across Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi, Rustavi, Telavi, Zugdidi, Bolnisi, Senaki and Marneuli. Most are classified by TEMOS as secondary-care providers, although the list also includes tertiary hospitals and a day-surgery center.

Tbilisi has the largest cluster. Its listed organizations include JSC German Hospital, JSC Jerarsi, Open Heart–University Hospital and Tbilisi SMU and Ingorokva HMT University Clinic.

The geographic spread is striking. Telavi, a city in Georgia’s eastern Kakheti region, has three listed providers. Kutaisi has four. Rustavi has three.

This makes TEMOS unusually visible across Georgia’s regional healthcare system, not only among premium hospitals in the capital.

The directory itself doesn’t explain why Georgia has such a large share. TEMOS does, however, operate a regional office in the country and has worked with local quality-management specialists. That local presence may have helped more Georgian providers enter and complete the process, although this is an inference rather than a stated explanation from TEMOS.

Turkey Ranks Second With 20 Facilities

Turkey has 20 TEMOS-accredited healthcare facilities.

The list reflects the country’s established medical tourism markets. It includes tertiary hospitals in Istanbul and Izmir, resort-area hospitals around Antalya, dental centers, a hair-transplant clinic and an outpatient surgery provider.

Five Anatolia Hospital locations appear in the directory: Alanya, Antalya, Aspendos, Lara and Side.

Istanbul has the country’s largest cluster. Listed providers include BHT Clinic Istanbul Tema Hospital, Biruni University Hospital, Istinye University Faculty of Medicine Hospital, Maltepe University Faculty of Medicine Hospital and Private Emsey Hospital.

BHT Clinic completed a TEMOS reaccreditation assessment in January 2026. The hospital has 450 beds, more than 100 physicians and over 1,000 healthcare professionals, according to TEMOS.

Turkey’s list also shows how medical tourism has moved beyond large general hospitals.

Five Turkish entries are dental clinics or dental centers. Private Smile Hair Clinic represents the country’s large hair-restoration market. Private CLV Polyclinic is classified as a day-surgery center.

This mix makes Turkey’s TEMOS network more commercially tied to elective cross-border care than Georgia’s hospital-heavy group.

Egypt Has Eight Listed Providers

Egypt ranks third with eight healthcare facilities.

Five are in Cairo or the wider Cairo region: Al Nas Hospital, Cairo Specialized Hospital, Cleopatra Hospital, Cura Elnasr Hospital and Nile Badrawi Hospital. Egypt Air Hospital is also listed in Cairo, although the directory doesn’t assign it a facility type.

The remaining providers are in Egypt’s Red Sea tourism corridor.

Aseel Medical Care Hospital is in Hurghada. El Gouna Hospital is in El Gouna, roughly 25 kilometers north of Hurghada.

Their locations show the overlap between healthcare, expatriate services and coastal tourism. Hurghada and El Gouna receive large numbers of European visitors and long-stay residents, creating demand for providers that can manage foreign languages, travel insurers and patients whose regular doctors are in another country.

Egypt also has one TEMOS-listed medical travel coordinator, Eshfaa for Healthcare. Medical Tourism Watch excluded it from the count of 77 because it isn’t classified as a healthcare facility.

Greece Has Five “Assessed Organizations”

Five Greek providers appear in the directory:

• Agios Charalambos Mental Health Clinic in Crete
• IASO in Athens
• IASO Thessalias in Larissa
• Institute of Life in Maroussi
• Lefkos Stavros–The Athens Clinic

All five are legally described as assessed organizations, not accredited organizations.

TEMOS says this distinction is required in European Union countries. It adds that the assessment follows the same standards and methods and uses the same criteria for receiving an award.

The Greek group is medically diverse.

IASO is a large general, maternity, gynecology and pediatric provider. Institute of Life focuses on assisted reproduction. Agios Charalambos is a mental health clinic in Iraklion, Crete.

This is a reminder that medical travel isn’t limited to cosmetic surgery, dentistry and low-cost operations. Fertility treatment, mental health care and complex women’s health services are also part of the cross-border patient market.

The Remaining 15 Facilities Span Ten Markets

Trinidad and Tobago has three listed providers: two private hospitals and one fertility center.

Iraq has two: Imam Zain Al-Abiden Hospital in Karbala and Insight Psychiatry Clinic in Baghdad’s Harthiya district.

Thailand’s two entries are both fertility providers in Bangkok: Inspire IVF and Lavida Advanced Fertility and Genetics Center.

Saudi Arabia also has two. Saudi German Hospital Makkah is classified as a tertiary-care hospital. Kingdom Hospital in Riyadh appears in the directory as a dental center.

Six markets have one facility each:

• Near East University Hospital in Northern Cyprus
• Panafricare Clinic in Seychelles
• Newborn Clinic in North Macedonia
• RAK Hospital in the United Arab Emirates
• Republican Specialized Scientific-Practical Medical Center of Cardiology in Uzbekistan
• The Panama Clinic in Panama

RAK Hospital completed reaccreditation for Excellence in Medical Tourism in early 2026. TEMOS said the review covered patient safety, quality of care and the wider medical travel experience.

The North Macedonian entry is a fertility provider in Skopje. The Seychelles entry is an ambulatory and diagnostic clinic on Mahé Island. Panama’s sole provider is a tertiary hospital in Panama City.

The variety is wide. The total is not.

What the 77 Facilities Actually Include

Calling all 77 organizations “hospitals” would be misleading.

Based on the facility types shown in the directory:

Sixty providers are classified as secondary or tertiary care. The remaining 17 include dental, fertility, outpatient and day-surgery organizations.

This difference matters for patients and for anyone comparing accreditation systems.

A dental center, a fertility clinic and a 450-bed hospital may all hold TEMOS recognition. They shouldn’t be treated as the same kind of institution simply because they appear in one directory.

Six Medical Travel Coordinators Were Excluded

The official directory had 83 organizations when Medical Tourism Watch conducted its review.

Six were classified as medical travel coordinators:

• Dental Travel in Switzerland
• Drpilus in Türkiye
• Eshfaa for Healthcare in Egypt
• FirstMed Services in Germany
• Marm Assistance in Türkiye
• MCAN Sağlık Turizmi in Türkiye

These organizations may help patients select providers, arrange treatment, manage travel or coordinate communication.

They aren’t hospitals or clinics.

Including them would raise the total to 83, but it would make the headline inaccurate. This article therefore uses 77 as the healthcare-provider count.

A Small Network With Several Major Markets Missing

TEMOS’s public directory makes it possible to count its healthcare providers individually. ISO 9001 is much harder to measure because the available global data combines healthcare with social work and other services. Our separate analysis explains why no one knows the exact number of hospitals with ISO 9001 certification.

The current TEMOS directory has no listed healthcare provider in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore or South Korea.

Germany, where TEMOS is headquartered, has one listed medical travel coordinator but no healthcare facility in the directory.

That doesn’t mean hospitals in those countries offer poor care. It means they don’t currently appear in this specific accreditation network.

Many countries rely on their own national accreditation systems. Some hospitals pursue Joint Commission International accreditation. Others use ISO management standards, specialty accreditation or government quality programs.

TEMOS is therefore better understood as a focused international network rather than a universal hospital-quality system.

Its small size may make the award feel exclusive. It also limits how useful the directory is for comparing providers across every major medical tourism destination.

Does TEMOS Accreditation Mean a Hospital Is Safe?

Accreditation can be a useful positive signal.

It shows that an outside organization has reviewed the provider against a defined set of standards. It may also show that the hospital has invested time, money and staff effort in quality management, documentation and patient-safety systems.

Research offers some support for that approach.

A systematic review of hospital accreditation studies found broadly positive effects on safety culture, process performance and efficiency. The evidence connecting accreditation directly to clinical outcomes was less clear.

The World Health Organization has used a useful warning: “Accreditation is not a stand-alone solution.”

A logo can’t tell a patient whether a particular surgeon is the right choice.

It doesn’t reveal that doctor’s complication rate, experience with a specific procedure or record of treating patients with the same medical condition. It doesn’t guarantee that every hospital employee performs perfectly every day.

Accreditation also doesn’t replace national licensing, malpractice checks, infection data or careful clinical review.

Patients should treat TEMOS status as one part of a wider safety check.

What Patients Should Verify

A patient considering a TEMOS-listed provider should confirm that the organization’s status is still active and that the exact facility appears in the official directory.

The name matters. Accreditation belonging to one hospital in a group may not automatically cover every sister hospital, branch or branded clinic.

Patients should also ask:

• Does the status apply to the entire organization?
• Which TEMOS program did the provider complete?
• When was its latest onsite assessment?
• Does the hospital publish treatment outcomes?
• Who will perform the procedure?
• What happens if a complication develops after the patient returns home?
• Is follow-up care included in the quoted price?
• Will medical records be provided in a language the patient understands?

For medical travelers, the last part can be as important as the operation.

A patient who develops pain two weeks after returning to London, Riyadh or Berlin needs clear records, a reachable clinical contact and a realistic follow-up plan. A polished airport pickup doesn’t solve a medical complication.

Why TEMOS Still Matters

TEMOS occupies a distinct position in international healthcare accreditation.

ISO 9001 is a broad quality-management standard used across many industries. JCI is a much larger healthcare accreditation system. TEMOS has built programs that directly address the practical problems of treating people who cross borders for care.

Those problems are easy to underestimate.

The patient may speak another language. Their medical records may arrive in a different format. Their family may be staying in a hotel. Payment may involve an insurer, employer or facilitator. Follow-up care may need to continue thousands of kilometers away.

A hospital can provide technically strong treatment and still fail badly at these handover points.

TEMOS tries to assess both clinical and non-clinical parts of that journey. Its standards refer to quality management, governance, patient and staff safety, communication, ethics, patient experience and continuity of care.

That focus gives the accreditation relevance to medical tourism.

The directory’s limited reach remains the other side of the story. Seventy-seven providers is a very small number for a global healthcare market. Nearly two-thirds are in Georgia and Türkiye alone.

TEMOS is rare.

But rare doesn’t automatically mean superior, and accreditation alone shouldn’t decide where a patient receives treatment.

It means a provider has passed one structured external review. The patient still needs to investigate the hospital, department, doctor, procedure and aftercare plan.
