Academic Hospital

Academic Hospital is a hospital in Üsküdar, Istanbul, established in 1997 by physicians with an academic background at Marmara University. Its own account of the hospital emphasises the involvement of university clinicians in patient care and the development of medical services across multiple specialties.

The hospital describes premises covering approximately 15,000 square metres and a total of 87 patient and procedure beds. Its published institutional information refers to a medical team that includes professors and other academic physicians. These figures describe the hospital’s facilities and academic staffing rather than the capacity of a single department.

Services highlighted on its website include scoliosis and spinal care, plastic surgery, assessment of vertigo, check-up programmes and CT coronary angiography. A paediatric night clinic provides care around the clock. Academic Health, a wellness service within the hospital, is also presented as part of its wider approach to health.

The hospital’s institutional history records a collaboration begun in 2012 with Partners HealthCare in connection with Harvard-affiliated medical expertise and second opinions. This is described as part of its development and international clinical relationships. The hospital is chaired by Professor Zehra Neşe Kavak, whose clinical field includes obstetrics, gynaecology and perinatology.

Patients can arrange appointments through the hospital’s published contact routes. Its website provides online appointment and result services, together with WhatsApp communication and a 24-hour call centre. Information about individual departments and clinicians allows patients to identify the relevant service before contacting the hospital about their care.
