30-year tradition in combination with the most modern equipment
With our four general hospitals, including the high-tech Smart and green hospital which we founded in January 2013, medical centre, university hospital and clinical research centre, Florence Nightingale Hospitals Group has been active in almost any medical specialization and one of the biggest and widely recognized hospital groups in Europe and the Middle East.
Florence Nightingale Hospitals Group (FNHG) continues to grow and invest in state-of-the-art equipment and technology, and in the most important acquisition of all – its highly trained, motivated, and trained army of doctors and medical staff. Thus, FNHG has become the only centre for organ transplantation in the Middle East, which is currently licensed to work in five areas of organ transplantation and the biggest centre in Europe for liver and kidney transplantation from living donors with the highest number of transplantations in Europe and the Middle East. The liver transplantations are performed by a team of brilliant and irreplaceable doctors led by the prominent prof. Yamat Tokat.
Initiated as a non-profit organization, founded in 1989 as the first hospital for cardiovascular disease in the region under the aegis of the Turkish Foundation of Cardiology, Florence Nightingale Hospitals Group has a long history and has gained experience in this field.
With its experience Florence Nightingale Hospitals Group has been widely recognized as a standard for excellence in the entire region. We are accredited by Joint Commission International and we have several certificates from the International Standardization Organization. The top priorities of Florence Nightingale Hospitals Group are to value the safety and satisfaction of the patients and to improve the quality of life by defining the correct diagnoses and providing the best medical treatment in accordance with the international standards. Our hospitals offer the “golden standard” in technologies and professional level of medical care. The continuous process of using the best practices has given FNHG the status “Centre of Excellence” for its specialization centres.
Florence Nightingale Hospitals Group is inspired by the life and work of the renowned English nurse Florence Nightingale. She became famous for her pioneering medical cares during the Crimean war where she looked after the wounded soldiers. They called her “the lady with the lantern” because of her habits to make night rounds and she was the first to implement standards for hygiene and care for the patient. Florence Nightingale arrived in Istanbul in 1854 and became known for her work in the Selimie barracks in Scutari.
