Founded in 2005 under the aegis of the Istanbul Education and Culture Foundation (İSTEK) and Yeditepe University, the Yeditepe University Healthcare Institutions group is one of the most established and respected multidisciplinary hospital groups in Turkey and the region, treating 30,000 patients annually at 3 hospitals, a health center and Turkey’s first and only private medical faculty and teaching hospital. Our adoption of the latest medical technologies, coupled with an unrivalled expertise in healthcare technology, has made Yeditepe University Healthcare Institutions one of the most advanced comprehensive healthcare groups in Europe. We are also proud to be adding Turkey’s first ‘smart hospital’ to this group in 2016 as the world’s first antimicrobial hospital. As Turkey’s largest foundation university and one of the first academic institutions to be JCIaccredited, Yeditepe University Healthcare Institutions’s General (University) Hospital, Eye Hospital, Dental Hospital, Genetic Diagnostic Centre and Health Centre serve as a guiding force in the sector as well as centers dedicated to the nurturing of qualified personnel.
