About Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital

Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital is the flagship of Group Florence Nightingale (Grup Florence Nightingale), located on Abide-i Hürriyet Caddesi in the Şişli district of Istanbul. The group has roots dating back to 1989 and is historically linked to the Turkish Cardiology Foundation; this main hospital building opened in 2008. It is sometimes confused online with the separate Gayrettepe Florence Nightingale hospital.

The hospital is accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI) and is reported to have been among the first in Türkiye accredited under JCI’s newer (8th-edition) standards. Its historical strengths are cardiovascular surgery and cardiology, alongside multi-organ transplantation and oncology.

For men’s health, the urology department explicitly includes andrology, along with endourology, uro-oncology, paediatric urology, reconstruction, and a robotic surgery centre — one of the clearer andrology offerings among the hospitals in this list. Confirm the specific specialist and procedure directly when you plan care.

It operates a 24/7 Center for International Patients offering airport-to-hotel-to-hospital transfers, round-the-clock interpreter services, visa guidance, and accommodation reservations. As always, confirm the details relevant to your treatment and the correct hospital building before travelling.
