Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital opened in March 2017 as the 21st facility of Acıbadem Healthcare Group. Located in Istanbul’s Altunizade district, it combines advanced infrastructure, multidisciplinary units and international-patient support for diagnosis and treatment in one coordinated hospital setting.

Scale, Accreditation and Patient Flow

The Istanbul hospital has 98,000 m² of closed area, 350 beds, 14 operating rooms, 75 intensive care beds and parking for 550 vehicles. Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital is accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI), and its architecture is planned to reduce unnecessary patient movement between units.

Specialized Units and Oncology Care

Key departments include Oncology, Neurosurgery, Cellular Therapy and Robotic Surgery, supported by Breast Health, Eye Diseases, Spine Health, Neurological Sciences and Oral and Dental Health units. The Oncology Unit brings surgical, medical and radiation oncology together, using Tomotherapy, Truebeam, Vitalbeam, Gamma Knife Icon, PET CT and SPECT CT for cancer diagnosis, planning and treatment.

Advanced Surgery, Intensive Care and Pediatrics

A hybrid operating-room system links 3 Tesla MRI, 128-slice Sliding CT and Robotic Arm Angiography, enabling intraoperative imaging for neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, orthopedics and ENT facial-jaw procedures. Robotic surgery is performed with the da Vinci system. Intensive care is divided into Neonatal (23), Pediatric (14), Coronary (8), Cardiovascular Surgery (7) and General Intensive Care (23) beds. As a baby-friendly hospital, Acıbadem Altunizade also offers separate pediatric waiting areas, pediatric ENT, Pediatric Dental Health, emergency care and chemotherapy services for children.

Emergency, International Patients and Sustainability

The Emergency Department supports air and ground ambulances, with decontamination, resuscitation, intervention, imaging, observation and an operating room for urgent surgery; capacity includes 13 adult beds, 5 pediatric beds, 2 isolation rooms and 32 observation beds. For medical tourism, the Health Point section provides services in 16 languages. Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital uses a tri-generation energy system and holds LEED Gold certification for energy use and environmentally conscious design.
