Aren't you biased toward Poland?
Yes, I run a Poland service — so let me be straight: if you want the absolute lowest number and you've personally checked a clinic, Turkey can work. But for the typical patient who wants saving and a safety net, EU membership is the deciding factor, and Poland edges Hungary on flights and clinic density. That's why I focused the whole business here.
