Liv Hospital Ulus | MedAgent partner hospital

Liv Hospital Ulus opened in 2013 in Istanbul as the first hospital of a high-end healthcare brand built around scientific research, quality accreditations, advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies, and specialist medical teams. The name Liv comes from “Leading International Vision,” a positioning that remains central to the Liv Hospital network.

Accreditations and Advanced Clinical Focus

Liv Hospital holds accreditations including Center of Excellence and JCI, and is recognized as a Turquality brand by the Ministry of Economy. At Liv Hospital Ulus, experienced specialists perform advanced procedures using current medical technology, with clinical and academic achievements supporting its international profile.

Regenerative Medicine, Oncology and Robotic Surgery

The hospital includes Turkey’s first GMP-standard personalized Regenerative Medicine Stem Cell Production and Application Center. Its services range from cosmetic dermatology and aesthetics to orthopedics, chronic wound care, and burn treatments.

Complex cancer surgeries are supported by robotic surgical infrastructure and hybrid operating rooms. Liv Hospital Ulus also provides advanced obesity surgery, robotic knee and hip replacement, and MR Linac technology for real-time 4D radiation therapy in cancer treatment.

Access for International Patients in Istanbul

For medical tourism patients arriving in Istanbul, Liv Hospital Ulus can be reached from Istanbul Airport by taxi or private transfer in approximately 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. Havaist buses to Beşiktaş, followed by a short taxi ride, are another option.

From Pendik YHT Train Station, travel takes about 50-60 minutes by taxi or private transfer, or patients can use the Marmaray line to Yenikapı and continue to Beşiktaş. From Sirkeci Train Station, a taxi ride takes about 20-30 minutes, with bus access to Beşiktaş also available.

With JCI accreditation, regenerative medicine, robotic surgery, MR Linac, and Istanbul access routes, Liv Hospital Ulus is designed for patients seeking complex treatment with safety, comfort, and specialist coordination.
