About Acıbadem
One idea, carried by 30,000 people
Acıbadem began in 1991 as a single neighborhood hospital in İstanbul, on one conviction: advanced medicine and genuinely personal attention belong together. Everything here — the network, the standards, the people — grew out of that.

What Sets Us Apart
Four differences that show up in your treatment
Internationally accredited
7 JCI-accredited hospitals, audited against international standards for clinical quality and patient safety.
A large hospital network
A broad network of hospitals and clinics, so you are referred to the centre that fits your diagnosis.
Specialists in every unit
Internationally trained, high-volume doctors working inside dedicated clinical departments rather than in isolation.
Advanced technology
Continuous investment in diagnostics and treatment systems, from robotic surgery platforms to precision radiotherapy.
Accreditation is not a one-off certificate: JCI re-assesses on a recurring cycle, so it reflects how a hospital works day to day. In practice the same documented protocols apply wherever in the group you are treated, your records follow a single standard, and the summary you take home is written so a doctor in your own country can act on it.
