Skopje (Sistina Hospital), North Macedonia

The Acıbadem Health Point office in Skopje is the representative office of the Acıbadem healthcare group for North Macedonia, located at Sistina Hospital on Skupi 5a. It is the first point of contact for people in North Macedonia who are considering treatment in Türkiye: the office answers questions, collects medical records so that a physician can give an opinion, passes on the treatment plan and cost estimate prepared in Türkiye, and organises the journey to an Acıbadem hospital. First consultations and second opinions are free and carry no obligation. Anyone searching for treatment in Turkey from North Macedonia can begin here, by telephone or e-mail, before making any decision.

Acıbadem Health Point is the international patient service of the Acıbadem healthcare group in Türkiye. The group operates JCI-accredited hospitals, more than 45 hospitals and clinics, and receives patients from more than 90 countries, with 24/7 multilingual coordination. If symptoms are urgent, contact local emergency services in North Macedonia rather than planning a trip abroad.

What the Skopje office helps with

The office works as a bridge between the patient at home and the medical teams in Türkiye. Its role is practical and administrative: gathering information, explaining what has been proposed, and arranging the steps around the hospital stay.

• Answering first questions about how the international patient process works, at no cost.
• Collecting medical records, imaging and test results and sending them to the relevant department in Türkiye for a doctor’s opinion or a free second opinion.
• Passing on the treatment plan and the cost estimate prepared by the treating physician after the records have been reviewed.
• Scheduling appointments and admission dates with the chosen hospital.
• Guiding travel planning and accommodation, together with the hospital’s international patient team.
• Coordinating airport transfer and interpreter support during hospital visits through the international patient team in Türkiye.
• Arranging follow-up after the return to North Macedonia, together with the treating physician.

How do patients from North Macedonia plan treatment in Türkiye?

1. Contact the office. Write or call the Skopje office at Sistina Hospital and describe the medical situation in your own words.
2. Send the records. The office explains which documents are useful — reports, imaging, laboratory results, discharge summaries — and collects them for review.
3. Receive the physician’s opinion. A physician in Türkiye reviews the file and prepares a treatment plan together with a cost estimate, which the office shares with you. This step is free and carries no obligation.
4. Decide and book. If you choose to continue, the office schedules the appointment or admission date at the hospital and confirms what to bring.
5. Travel and stay. The office confirms current visa and travel requirements before departure, while the hospital’s international patient team coordinates airport transfer, interpreter support and accommodation guidance.
6. Follow-up at home. After you return, contact with the treating physician continues through the office.

Every treatment decision is made with the treating physician after the medical records have been reviewed. The office does not give medical advice and does not decide what should be done.

Hospitals and specialties patients from North Macedonia ask about

Enquiries received in Skopje are directed to the hospital and department that matches the medical file. The hospitals most often discussed include:

Which hospital and which department are appropriate is confirmed only after the physician has read the file, and the office will say clearly if a case needs to be reviewed by more than one department.

Travel, language and practical support

Practical arrangements are shared between the Skopje office and the hospital in Türkiye. The office prepares the file and the appointment; the hospital’s international patient team coordinates airport transfer, interpreter support during hospital visits and accommodation guidance on arrival.

Language support does not depend on a single person: the office coordinates with the multilingual patient team in Türkiye, and the group provides 24/7 multilingual coordination for international patients.

Visa and travel requirements change over time, so nothing on this page should be treated as a current rule. The office confirms the requirements that apply to your journey before departure, and tells you which documents to carry for the hospital admission.
