The Beginning - 1979

Establishment of Florence Nightingale Hospital - 1989
Florence Nightingale Hospital opened as a 50-bed facility capable of performing 250 open-heart surgeries annually. Driven by clinical success and patient trust, it evolved into a 302-bed institution performing over 2,000 cardiac surgeries a year, while expanding services across pediatrics, gynecology, ophthalmology, and broad medical specialties.
Gayrettepe & Comprehensive Cancer Care - 1997
Gayrettepe Florence Nightingale Hospital opened its doors, featuring a Comprehensive Cancer Center established through U.S. partnerships. The facility pioneered early telemedicine capabilities, connecting local doctors with global peers for multidisciplinary case reviews and international collaboration.
