Organ transplant centre performing kidney transplantation.
Acibadem International Hospital
Admitting patients in Yeşilköy since 1989: a complete cardiac pathway from cath lab to open-heart surgery, kidney transplantation, IVF and nuclear medicine.
- 109 doctors on staff
Acibadem International Hospital carries the longest patient history of any campus in the group: admitting patients in Yeşilköy since 1989, it joined the Acıbadem group in 2005 and has operated under the Acıbadem International name since 2014 — three decades of institutional memory in a 19,000 m² building with 112 beds, 26 intensive-care beds across general, open-cardiac-surgery, coronary and neonatal units, and 16 observation beds. Its clinical spine is cardiac: a catheterisation laboratory, open-heart surgery with its own intensive care, and post-angiography observation floors. Around that spine run kidney transplantation within the group’s Organ Transplant Center scope, IVF, breast health, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, nuclear medicine and a sleep laboratory.
What this building is organised around
Some hospitals are built; this one accumulated. Three decades on Istanbul’s European coast road have shaped a campus whose strengths map onto what its patients kept needing: hearts above all — the cath lab, the surgical theatres, the coronary and open-heart intensive-care units, the observation beds that follow an angiography — and around them the specialist floors a mature hospital collects: an outpatient chemotherapy unit, a sleep laboratory, a menopause clinic, nuclear medicine for functional imaging. The honest description is a veteran specialist hospital: not the group’s newest architecture, but one of its deepest institutional memories, running at the group’s current standard.
Quality and safety — the honest frame
The hospital runs on the Acıbadem group’s single quality system — surgical checklists, medication-safety routines, infection control and credentialing audited across the group — with diagnostics through the group’s ISO-accredited laboratory network. Five Acıbadem hospitals in Türkiye hold JCI accreditation (Maslak, Altunizade, Atakent, Kent and Adana); International runs on the same protocols those audits examine, and this page says that plainly rather than borrowing a badge. Its own credential is time: a patient community that has trusted the same address since 1989 is an audit of a different kind, renewed daily.
The cardiac spine — cath lab to surgery to intensive care
Cardiac health is the campus’s named weight, and the infrastructure runs the whole pathway: the cardiology unit’s diagnostic and interventional work in the catheterisation laboratory, post-angiography observation units for the hours that follow, cardiovascular surgery for the bypass and valve decisions, and an open-cardiac-surgery intensive care unit distinct from the general and coronary units — the separation that lets each floor do its own medicine well. For the western districts and the coast road, a heart question has had this address for a generation.
Kidney transplantation and the specialist programmes
Kidney transplant surgeries are performed at this campus within the scope of the group’s Organ Transplant Center — the transplantation unit guide explains candidacy, Türkiye’s living-donor-weighted framework and the lifelong follow-up honestly. The specialist floors carry programmes a veteran hospital accumulates: nuclear medicine for functional imaging, thoracic surgery for the chest’s operative range, neurosurgery for the brain and spine work this building’s theatres support, an outpatient chemotherapy unit delivering tumour-board-planned systemic treatment, and a sleep laboratory for the diagnostics of the night.
Women’s health and the fertility pathway
The campus carries an in-vitro fertilisation centre — the IVF unit guide’s honest success framing applying in full — alongside breast health diagnostics and a menopause outpatient clinic, the kind of specific, unglamorous clinic that a hospital keeps only because its patients actually need it. Gynaecology and obstetrics and the neonatal intensive-care unit complete the pathway, with paediatrics behind them for the families of the western districts.
Technology, honestly framed
The installation matches the identity: a catheterisation laboratory, open-heart theatres and their dedicated intensive care, nuclear medicine, a sleep laboratory, modern imaging and the group’s laboratory network. The standing rule applies: when a plan genuinely needs a machine this campus does not house — MR-Linac at Maslak, Gamma Knife or Tomotherapy at Altunizade, the flagship cancer floors’ heavy installations — the coordinators route you there and say why, your file travelling ahead. Thirty-five years of reputation were built on exactly that kind of sentence.
International patients at the veteran campus
The name is historical, but the service is literal: the group’s records-first process applies exactly as at the flagships — reports and imaging reviewed before travel, a written plan and cost estimate, interpreter support (English, Arabic, Russian, German and French routinely), and discharge notes written for the doctor continuing care at home. Yeşilköy’s position on the European coast road serves the western districts’ international residents, and the campus’s cardiac depth gives visiting patients a specific reason to choose it: a heart pathway — from catheterisation to surgery to monitored recovery — under one veteran roof.
Getting here
The hospital stands in Yeşilköy on Istanbul’s European side, on İstanbul Caddesi, with the full address, map link and phone in the identity card at the top of this page. The coast road and Marmaray rail serve the district, Istanbul Airport connects by the main western routes, and the coordinators arrange transfers for planned visits as standard.
How to decide whether International is your hospital
Choose International when its accumulated strengths match your question: a cardiac pathway from cath lab to surgery to dedicated intensive care, a kidney transplant work-up, chemotherapy near home in the western districts, IVF, breast diagnostics, thoracic or neurosurgical operations this building supports, or a sleep-laboratory answer to the night’s questions. Choose a flagship when your case is a programme built on installations only they house — and expect that routing early, file included. A hospital that has kept one promise since 1989 does not start hedging now.
