Introduction
Denmark's healthcare system does not offer stem cell therapy for autism. The Danish Medicines Agency follows EU regulations restricting these therapies to research settings. Danish families seeking regenerative medicine for their children are choosing Istanbul for its accessibility, structured approach, and transparent communication.
Why Danish families travel to Istanbul
Denmark's regulatory framework limits clinical access to regenerative medicine for autism. Istanbul provides regulated clinical access within a well-organized medical framework — an approach that resonates with Danish expectations for efficiency and quality.

Visa, travel & logistics — questions from Denmark
Nej. Danske statsborgere kan rejse til Tyrkiet uden visum for ophold på op til 90 dage inden for en 180-dages periode. Passet skal være gyldigt i mindst 6 måneder fra indrejsedatoen.
Generelt ikke. Regenerativ terapi dækkes ikke af det offentlige. Nogle private sygeforsikringer (Tryg, Codan, Topdanmark) tilbyder delvis refusion for udenlandsk behandling — vi leverer detaljerede fakturaer i EUR/DKK.
Ja. Vi leverer en struktureret udskrivningsrapport på engelsk med kliniske fund, laboratoriesvar og behandlingsprotokol, som kan deles med din praktiserende læge eller børnelæge. Sammendrag på dansk på forespørgsel.
Ja. København (CPH) tilbyder daglige direkte fly med Turkish Airlines, SAS og Pegasus. Aalborg og Billund tilbyder sæsonbestemte direkte forbindelser eller forbindelser via CPH.
Kun +1 time — minimal indvirkning. Vi planlægger konsultationen dagen efter ankomst for at lade barnet vænne sig til hotellet.
Ja, med lægerecept. Glutenfri, kaseinfri og ketogene produkter er tilladt. Vi leverer et forhåndsbrev til tolden om nødvendigt.
Standardrejseforsikringer dækker ikke planlagt behandling, men dækker akutte hændelser, fly og indkvartering. Specialiserede medicinske rejseforsikringer (Europ Assistance, Allianz Global) tilbyder bredere dækning.
Ja, meget sikkert. Vi opererer i et stille boligområde på den asiatiske side. Vores anbefalede hoteller tilbyder stille check-in og sensoriske tilpasninger.
Ja, danske kort fungerer overalt. Til drikkepenge anbefaler vi 100–150 EUR i kontanter, vekslet i lufthavnen eller i Suadiye, hvor kurserne er bedre end i Danmark.
På forespørgsel kan vi tilbyde en skandinavisktalende koordinator. Daglig kommunikation kan foregå på engelsk eller dansk via WhatsApp.
