Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital

Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital is a multidisciplinary institution in Istanbul's Üsküdar district, on the Asian side of the city. It opened in March 2017 as part of the Acıbadem healthcare group. The hospital's own Turkish-language overview reports 350 beds, including seventy-five intensive-care beds, within 98,000 square metres of enclosed space. Intensive care is divided into neonatal, paediatric, coronary, cardiovascular-surgical and general units. These figures describe the Altunizade institution rather than the combined capacity of the group's other hospitals and clinics.

The local overview identifies oncology, neurosurgery, cellular therapies, robotic surgery, bone-marrow transplantation, cardiac care, spine care, breast services, dentistry and rehabilitation. Cancer care combines surgical, medical and radiation-oncology assessment. Imaging and treatment equipment named for this hospital includes PET-CT, SPECT-CT, three-tesla MRI, Tomotherapy and Gamma Knife Icon. The institution also describes a hybrid operating environment connecting advanced imaging with surgery. The clinical plan determines which technology is relevant; the equipment list alone does not establish suitability for every diagnosis.

International enquiries are organised through the group's patient centre. Its stated process begins with medical reports and a description of the problem, followed by specialist review, a proposed plan and an itemised written estimate. The coordinator can help identify the appropriate hospital and department before travel. This distinction matters in a large network: a technique or clinician available elsewhere in the group is not automatically located at Altunizade, and the final appointment should identify the actual treating institution and team.

The international service description includes assistance with visa letters, transfers, nearby accommodation, interpretation and insurance or billing questions. These are coordination services whose inclusion can be agreed with the treatment proposal, rather than an assumption that every associated travel cost is covered. It also describes discharge documentation and remote follow-up after the patient returns home. Establishing the local recovery period, review dates and the contact responsible for later questions connects hospital treatment with the practical continuity of care across countries.

Acıbadem's official preparation guide asks patients to collect prior investigation results, imaging and relevant medical history. It also recommends bringing a list of regular medicines, including non-prescription and herbal products, and checking insurance coverage for the intended clinician as well as the hospital. Preparing questions before the visit and arranging an accompanying person where necessary are part of the same checklist. These instructions explain how an existing diagnostic record can be brought into the consultation instead of treating the appointment as an isolated procedure purchase.

The appointment guide allows selection of the hospital, department, date and available time through the official booking pathway. The hospital also publishes direct contact details and a price-enquiry channel. A universal fixed treatment tariff was not established by the reviewed sources, and group-wide physician totals are not assigned to this one campus. The profile therefore preserves verified clinical capacity while leaving unpublished building and physician counts explicit, with individual treatment costs confirmed in writing after assessment.
