American Hospital Istanbul

American Hospital Istanbul is one of Turkey's leading and most well-equipped hospitals. The American Medical Centre was founded in 1920 by US Navy Admiral L. Bristol as the first non-profit private clinic in Turkey and has had a long and respected history ever since. The hospital combines knowledge and experience of over 100 years with the latest technology to provide quality medical services in all medical and surgical disciplines, with 241 beds, 41 intensive care beds, and 12 operating rooms. In addition to 15,000 inpatients annually, the medical team treats more than 130,000 outpatients annually, a fifth of which are international patients worldwide. More than 9,000 surgical operations are performed annually in the hospital. American Hospital is the first hospital among all public and private hospitals in Turkey to have both Joint Commission International and multiple ISO certifications. In July 2018, the Joint Commission International re-accredited the American Hospital for the sixth time. The hospital uses advanced technologies such as precise diagnostic procedures and minimally invasive and laparoscopic techniques, following American treatment protocols. Magnetic resonance imaging and neuro-angiography are the latest radiographic technologies used in hospitals. Postoperative care meets American standards. It was here that the first medical school in Turkey was opened at the clinic. The specialized departments of the American Hospital in Istanbul include cardiology, oncology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, hematology, plastic surgery, dermatology, urology, gynecology, otolaryngology, and general and visceral surgery. The medical center is one of the few in the world where laser vision treatment is performed for patients over 40. The Medical Center provides exceptional personalized medical care that considers the value system of each patient and family.
