It is located in Çayırova on the highway D.100 at the Bayramoğlu exit, close to Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.

It consists of 209 beds, 59 intensive care beds and 8 operating rooms. The parking lot is capable of 350 cars. The medical center was initially established as a specialized cancer center but then it transformed into a multidisciplinary hospital.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “hospital in Turkey” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4750774. Authority coordinates are 40.819, 29.354. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2000.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
