Frequently Asked Questions

Who Can Perform GETAT (Traditional and Complementary Medicine) Practices?

GETAT applications are complementary medicine methods defined by the Ministry of Health, such as acupuncture, cupping therapy (hacamat), medical ozone, leech therapy (hirudotherapy), and mesotherapy. According to the legislation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey, these practices can only be performed in licensed healthcare institutions by medical doctors (physicians) who have received certificates in the relevant field from authorized medical faculties and training centers.

The Importance of Medical Evaluation

As with any medical procedure, in complementary medicine applications, the patient's existing diseases, medications used, allergies, and general health status must be evaluated in detail. Applications performed by unauthorized individuals and in under-the-counter environments can lead to serious infections, bleeding, and permanent health problems. Within the Dr. Cemal İsmailoğlu Clinic, all applications are carried out under the supervision and control of a physician.
