Florence Nightingale Hospital Istanbul

Florence Nightingale Hospital Istanbul was opened in 2013 by the private medical network Florence Nightingale with the concept of the first green hospital in Turkey. Only environmentally friendly materials in building construction increase patients' safety. Cooperation with the Istanbul University of Science allowed the clinic to focus on the most modern methods of diagnosis and treatment. The area of ​​50,000 square meters has 18 floors and a helipad for transporting critical patients and includes 219 patient beds, 51 intensive care beds, 11 operating rooms, and two delivery rooms. The building is modeled after an intelligent home equipped with an EOS system for low-frequency imaging diagnostic methods as an alternative to CT and X-ray. The focus of the doctors is on robotic surgery and complex organ transplantation. DaVinci robot performs operations with a high probability of success.  The technology provides 3D images of the smallest vessels and nerves and performs movements more clearly and precisely.  The high experience of Florence Nightingale Clinic in Istanbul allowed the robot to be used for prostatectomy, cardiac and bariatric surgery, gynecology, and lung interventions. The Department of Complex Organ Transplantation also uses minimally invasive methods and combines several transplants in one operation, such as liver and kidney. The hospital has become one of the famous centers for international patients due to its high survival rate and low number of complications. The decision to transplant is made exclusively by an interdisciplinary team with detailed post-treatment planning. Also, the academic profile of one of the founders of the medical center in the field of spine diseases contributed to developing one of the most potent scoliosis centers.  The Tethering method allows correcting spinal deformities even in children who are actively growing, fixing only certain areas with screws without the significant excessive restriction of movement.  The author's Self-Sliding Rod Technique method reduces the need for repeated operations due to the long-term impact on the spine. The state-of-the-art radiology center is renowned for its TheraSphere radiation therapy for treating hepatocellular carcinoma. The effect of a potent radiation dose deep on the entire tumor area without affecting healthy tissues makes the method the most effective and gentle among analogs. Istanbul Florence Nightingale Medical Center offers highly efficient treatment for the most common diseases. Accreditation by JCI and ISO and by the British QHA Trent Commission is a guarantor of the quality of the services. The departments of cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, general surgery, ophthalmology, and pediatrics work together with the centers of excellence in transplantation, robotic surgery, breast and the center of nuclear oncology and interventional radiology. In addition, physical rehabilitation and health screening expand the clinic's services.
