About Us
It all began at a dinner table by the Bosphorus in Istanbul, where three lifelong friends—each having lived in North America for over 25 years—came together with a vision. We wanted to create something meaningful, a business that would bridge our professional expertise with our deep-rooted connection to Türkiye. More importantly, we wanted to offer a service that truly makes a difference in people’s lives.
The answer became clear: Medical Travel. That’s when Kayra Health was born.
Kayra: A Symbol of Renewal
The name Kayra is inspired by Kayra Han, a revered figure in Turkish mythology, known as the creator of all things—a neutral and encompassing force in the universe that brings blessings, vitality, and life.
At Kayra Health, we embody this spirit by guiding our clients toward a renewed sense of well-being, ensuring they feel vibrant, vital, and full of life throughout their healthcare journey.
