Medipol Mega University Hospital is the first in Turkey to hold JCI academic accreditation. Professor Fethi Kılıçaslan leads the cardiology team, specialising in three-chamber pacemaker implantations for chronic heart failure. The procedure typically costs around A$16,800–A$25,200. This rate generally covers the device, hospital medicines, and a 2-day hospital stay. The international department translates all medical documents into English. This ensures a clear handover to an Australian GP. The hospital features 25 operating rooms and 24/7 cardiac monitoring.

Professor Enis Oguz leads the cardiology unit, having trained in electrophysiology at the University of Leipzig Heart Centre in Germany. A permanent biventricular pacemaker package typically costs around A$13,600. For complex cases, a three-chamber pacemaker package may cost around A$26,900. These prices generally cover the implantation, specialist consultation, hospital stay, and airport transfers. The JCI-accredited clinic treats 50,000 international patients annually. Free English interpretation is provided for all Australian patients to ensure clear communication.

Bumrungrad International Hospital is Asia's first JCI-accredited hospital, ensuring top quality and safety for patients.

Its location in Bangkok features VIP airport transfers, 150+ interpreters for easy communication, a licensed medical heliport, and onsite visa extension services, making it a straightforward choice for Australians seeking pacemaker installation.

Estophia Hospital uses the Medtronic Viva XT CRT-D pacemaker – a recognized international brand for cardiac care. A replacement package typically costs around A$20,300.
