Where these came from

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in Turkey?
We list 16, in 3 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Istanbul, with 13 of the 16.
Is English unusual for doctors in Turkey?
62% of the 26 doctors we hold in Turkey are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
