Acıbadem Taksim Hospital is a general hospital that is part of the Acıbadem Healthcare Group. It opened in October 2015. The high quality of patient care provided by the hospital is confirmed by international JCI accreditation.
The hospital has an enclosed area of about 24,000 square metres. It has 110 beds, 7 of which are in the neonatal intensive care unit. The hospital has 6 operating theatres, equipped with the latest technology.
With the help of the special Insight system, Acıbadem Taksim successfully monitors the occupancy of structural units and coordinates patient flow. This software makes it possible to optimise the work of the nursing staff as efficiently as possible.
The hospital’s priority areas are:
Patients are accommodated in standard or extra comfortable rooms. The standard rooms are equipped to meet the needs of patients and their relatives. There is a bathroom, functional furniture, television, internet and a personal safe. A newspaper delivery service is available if needed.
The extra comfort rooms are set up as «cosy homey rooms». There is a separate room for guests. There is a nurse call button right by the bed. The toilets and bathrooms are equipped with metal fall arrestors.
Meals for patients and accompanying persons are available in the clinic’s canteen or cafeteria, which is located on the premises of the medical centre. Parking is available for people with reduced mobility.
The da Vinci Robotic Surgery system allows complex interventions through punctures as small as 1.5 cm. During the operation, the surgeon sits at a special console and directs the robot. The risks of bleeding and trauma during the procedure are minimal.
It is a device for imaging the internal structures of the body. 3 Tesla MR provides a higher quality image for the same time as a 1.5 Tesla MR. It is often used in neurology, orthopaedics, cardiology, gynaecology and oncology.
It is a radiological diagnostic device that scans different parts of the body with minimal radiation exposure. With Flash CT, images can be obtained with a high level of accuracy. This device is particularly informative when scanning the heart and lungs.
The device produces a three-dimensional image of the breast tissue in 1 mm sections. This diagnostic method is used for the early detection of breast cancer. Compared to other mammography devices, the radiation dose here is 30% lower.
This equipment provides an image using sound waves. Many diseases are diagnosed with this device, particularly gynaecological and urological pathologies. The device has no radiation exposure.
Whole-body MRI is an innovative technology for imaging internal body structures that is used to detect tumours at an early stage. The images produced are of high resolution. The procedure takes 45 minutes.
The Department of Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery can restore the shape and function of any part of the body. The main indications are congenital anomalies, diseases and deformities caused by accidents.
The doctors also deal with aesthetic problems as defined by the needs and desires of the individual, rather than a medical indication. Such interventions are performed by plastic surgeons who are qualified in the field of aesthetic surgery.
Some of the most popular procedures include:
| Breast augmentation |
| Consultation with a plastic surgeon |
| The natural shape of the implants |
| Minimal incisions |
| Fast rehabilitation |
| Doctor’s recommendations |
The General Surgery Department provides routine and emergency surgical care not only to Turkish nationals but also to foreign patients.
Here, minimally invasive robotic interventions are available that halve the recovery period and reduce the risk of side effects. The success rate of surgeries with the Da Vinci robot exceeds 97%.

The Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology diagnoses and treats various pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. More than 80% of all surgical interventions are carried out in a minimally invasive manner. During surgeries, neuronavigation systems are used, which make it possible to eliminate the disease without causing any harm to the patient’s health.
One of the most popular treatments at the Acıbadem Taksim Orthopaedic Department is joint arthroplasty using Conformis and X-PSI technology. These techniques make it possible to create an endoprosthesis to suit the individual needs of each patient.
There is a paediatric orthopaedic unit at Acıbadem Taksim, which caters for children from birth to 16 years of age. Congenital dislocations of the hip, the curvature of the foot, flat feet and other genetic pathologies of the musculoskeletal system are treated here. Cerebral palsy and orthopaedic tumours are also treated here.
The clinic has a modern urology department, which provides a full range of services for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system. Patients of all ages are treated there. In addition to traditional operations, such as prostate and bladder TURs, the hospital also carries out surgeries:
| Prostatectomy |
| Comprehensive examination |
| Consultation with oncologist, urologist |
| Removal of all or part of the prostate gland |
| Rehabilitation after surgery |
The clinic conducts intensive research in areas relating to prostate health, in particular prostate cancer screening and the treatment of prostate infections. A comprehensive diagnostic programme – urological check-up – is available for international patients.
The department performs nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer and radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Urological oncology surgery, including minimally invasive removal of kidney and testicular cancer, is carried out here. The uro-oncology management programme is planned in coordination with the departments of medical oncology and radiotherapy.
