Top 3 Hospitals in Istanbul

We previously discussed how medical tourism is on the cusp of becoming a dominating economic strategy in developing nations, as well as medical tourism in Turkey, its tourist attractions, and the medical sectors in which the country excels.

Turkey, always a tourist powerhouse, has invested heavily in medical tourism, and is now the uncontested leader in the area. All of these accolades, however, would not have been possible without the hard work of the greatest Turkish hospitals, five of which we will look at today.

Medical Park Bahçelievler Hospital

Medical Park Bahçelievler Hospital is one of the greatest clinics of the Medical Park Hospitals Group, which is one of Turkry's leading healthcare organizations. The hospital is extremely ideally located on Istanbul's European side, just a 5-minute drive from Ataturk International Airport and a 10-minute drive from Istanbul's Sea of Marmara port. The hospital is 17 floors tall and encompasses 30,000 square meters. It has 246 beds, 89 polyclinics, and 10 state-of-the-art operating theaters. The Bahcelievler Metro station also makes it highly accessible.

The hospital is known for its expertise in bone marrow transplantation, one of the most difficult procedures in medicine. The medical team also conducts very precise cardiovascular operations. It is one of just a few hospitals in Turkey that use cutting-edge Restrictive 3-Tesla technology in its MRI department.

American Hospital

On the list, there is an American hospital. Founded in the 1930s by American Rear Admiral Mark Lambert Bristol as part of the Red Cross, the American hospital is now part of the prominent "Koç" healthcare company, which operates some of Turkey's greatest hospitals. The American hospital is Turkey's most responsible party, and it is regarded as a world leader in oncology and cancer treatment.

The American hospital has acted as a treatment facility as well as a research institution throughout the years, allowing Turkey to establish itself as a medical tourism destination.

The hospital now serves approximately 220,000 patients each year as of 2019. On its 60,500 square meter campus, it has 278 inpatient beds, 36 critical care beds, and 12 surgical theatres. It is completely equipped with cutting-edge technology and includes an emergency area with a helipad for life-threatening situations. The prestigious non-profit private hospital is situated in Istanbul's Nişantaş area.

Acibadem Hospital

In Turkey now, the Acibadem healthcare organization is the only hospital chain capable of competing with the Koç group. The hospital started as a tiny community hospital in a rural Istanbul neighborhood. Acibadem has grown into a full-fledged multinational brand with hospitals across Turkey and beyond. They currently operate a number of hospitals around the Balkans, making them Bulgaria's biggest private healthcare provider.

Acibadem maintains universal quality as a hospital chain, which means that the quality of treatment and services is consistent no matter which of their locations you visit. The facility in Istanbul was the first in Turkey to successfully perform in vitro fertilization, a practice that is today marketed as part of Turkish medical tourism. Acibadem has become a global leader in organ transplantation surgery, particularly liver transplantation, earning them worldwide recognition with their Iranian neighbors.
