Medicana International Istanbul Hospital

Medicana International Istanbul Hospital

Medicana International Istanbul Hospital is a multidisciplinary private hospital operated by Medicana Health Group in the Beylikdüzü district on the European side of Istanbul, Türkiye.

The hospital began providing medical services in 2007 and operates within an approximately 30,000 m² indoor medical complex consisting of interconnected hospital buildings containing inpatient wards, outpatient departments, diagnostic services, operating theatres and intensive-care facilities.

Medicana International Istanbul provides treatment to patients living in Türkiye as well as international patients travelling to Istanbul for medical care.

Its published departments include urology, IVF, kidney transplantation, medical oncology, radiation oncology, general surgery, cardiovascular surgery, diagnostic imaging, intensive care and numerous other medical and surgical specialties.

The hospital also operates an International Patient Center for patients travelling from outside Türkiye.

Medicana International Istanbul vs Medicana International Beylikdüzü

Patients may find this hospital under two names:

Medicana International Istanbul

and

Medicana International Beylikdüzü

These names refer to the same Medicana hospital located in Beylikdüzü, Istanbul.

This distinction is important for SEO because patients may search for:

• Medicana International Istanbul

• Medicana International Istanbul Hospital

• Medicana International Beylikdüzü

• Medicana International Beylikduzu

• Medicana Beylikdüzü

The page should therefore use both main naming variants naturally while maintaining Medicana International Istanbul Hospital as the primary page entity.

Where is Medicana International Istanbul Hospital?

Medicana International Istanbul is located in Beylikdüzü on the European side of Istanbul.

The current official address is:

Büyükşehir, Beylikdüzü Cd. No:3, 34520 Beylikdüzü, İstanbul, Türkiye

Medicana's transport information identifies Cumhuriyet Mahallesi Metrobus station as one of the public-transport options for reaching the hospital.

Patients should not confuse this hospital with other Medicana hospitals in Istanbul, including:

• Medicana Bahçelievler

• Medicana Avcılar

• Medicana Ataşehir

• Medicana Zincirlikuyu

• Medicana Kadıköy

These are separate facilities with their own medical teams, addresses and hospital infrastructure.

Medicana International Istanbul hospital size and capacity

Medicana publishes an indoor area of approximately 30,000 square metres for the hospital.

Current published facility information includes:

• 8 operating theatres

• 26 observation beds

• 17 medical and surgical intensive-care beds

• 9 cardiovascular surgery intensive-care beds

• 5 coronary intensive-care beds

• 10 neonatal intensive-care incubators

• day-surgery areas

• observation areas

• Standard, VIP and CIP patient accommodation

• parking and valet services

Total inpatient bed count

We currently recommend leaving the total inpatient-bed figure out of the structured hospital data.

The current international Medicana hospital page displays:

“XXX inpatient beds”

rather than a usable number.

Because this appears to be an error in Medicana's own current web data, Andrology Abroad should not substitute an old or third-party figure.

Use the independently published operating-theatre, observation and intensive-care figures until Medicana publishes a reliable current total bed count.

Operating theatres and intensive care

Medicana International Istanbul has infrastructure for a broad range of medical and surgical procedures.

The hospital's intensive-care services include:

Medical and Surgical Intensive Care

Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care

Coronary Intensive Care

Level III Neonatal Intensive Care

The hospital also has dedicated day-surgery and postoperative observation areas.

For international surgical patients, the availability of operating theatres, inpatient wards and intensive-care services within the same hospital can be relevant when evaluating the facility where surgery will take place.

However, the availability of hospital infrastructure does not by itself establish the expertise of the individual surgeon performing a particular operation.

Urology at Medicana International Istanbul

Medicana International Istanbul has a urology department, and Medicana includes the hospital in its official list of facilities providing urology services.

Urology covers disorders affecting the urinary system in men and women as well as many conditions involving the male reproductive system.

Depending on the physician's specific expertise, urological services may include assessment or treatment of:

• prostate disorders

• urinary problems

• kidney and urinary-tract conditions

• urinary stones

• male infertility

• reproductive disorders

• male sexual-health conditions

• surgical urological conditions

For Andrology Abroad patients, however, an important distinction must be made between:

the presence of a urology department

and

the presence of a surgeon with specialist experience in a particular andrology procedure.

Not every urologist routinely performs penile prosthesis surgery, Peyronie's reconstruction, complex prosthesis revision or microsurgical sperm retrieval.

Andrology and male infertility

Current Medicana physician information lists Prof. Dr. Emrah Yürük as a professor of urology practising at Medicana International Istanbul.

His Medicana profile lists clinical interests including:

• Andrology

• Infertility

• Uro-oncology

• Robotic surgery

• Laparoscopic surgery

• Urinary stone disease

• Prostate disease

The presence of a physician whose published areas of interest include andrology and infertility gives Medicana International Istanbul direct relevance to male reproductive and sexual-health care.

However, this should not be interpreted as proof that every Andrology Abroad procedure is available at this hospital.

Individual surgical procedures should only be connected to the hospital after confirming the operating surgeon, hospital privileges and current operational arrangements.

International Patient Center

Medicana International Istanbul operates an International Patient Center for people travelling to Türkiye for medical care.

Medicana describes the hospital as receiving patients from regions including the Middle East, Balkans, Caucasus and other international markets.

The hospital's official website also provides a mechanism for patients to request a second medical opinion and upload medical records for review.

This can allow an international patient to have available medical documentation assessed before travelling rather than arriving in Türkiye without an established treatment pathway.

International patient medical coordination

Before travelling, international patients may be able to submit:

• medical reports

• laboratory tests

• imaging results

• previous surgical records

• pathology reports

• treatment history

The medical information can then be reviewed to help determine the appropriate physician or department.

For patients considering surgery abroad, a written treatment plan should ideally identify:

• treating physician

• proposed diagnosis

• proposed operation or treatment

• preoperative investigations

• expected hospital stay

• estimated treatment cost

• major exclusions from the quotation

• expected follow-up process

Interpreter services at Medicana International Istanbul

Medicana lists language support for international patients at the hospital.

Languages explicitly associated with its international patient services include:

• Arabic

• English

• Russian

• Kurdish

• Somali

The international Medicana website describes interpreter support for international patients, including access to these languages.

Patients should still confirm interpreter availability before travelling, particularly when translation will be required for:

• a surgical consultation

• informed-consent discussions

• operative instructions

• medication instructions

• hospital discharge information

Language support should be described on Andrology Abroad as international patient language support rather than implying that all treating physicians speak each listed language.

Does Medicana International Istanbul provide Arabic support?

Yes.

Arabic is explicitly listed among the languages supported through the hospital's international patient services.

This makes the hospital relevant to patients travelling from Arabic-speaking markets.

Patients requiring Arabic interpretation should request the service before arrival, particularly if they want an interpreter present during consultations or consent discussions.

Laboratory services

Medicana International Istanbul publishes hospital laboratory services including:

• biochemistry

• microbiology

• pathology

• tissue typing

Medicana states that laboratory services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

On-site laboratory capability can be relevant for surgical patients requiring preoperative tests or postoperative monitoring.

Imaging and medical technology

Medicana International Istanbul lists a range of diagnostic and treatment technologies, including:

• MRI

• PET-CT

• multi-slice CT

• ultrasound

• LINAC

• TrueBeam

• SPECT-CT

• DSA digital angiography

• 3D tomosynthesis digital mammography

The presence of these technologies reflects the hospital's broad multidisciplinary role.

Not every technology is relevant to andrology patients. Required imaging should be determined according to the patient's diagnosis and treatment plan.

Patient rooms and hospital amenities

Medicana International Istanbul provides several types of patient accommodation.

Published room categories include:

Standard rooms

VIP rooms

CIP rooms

Suite rooms

Depending on the room category, amenities may include:

• television

• internet access

• minibar or refrigerator

• personal safe

• nurse-call system

• facilities for an accompanying person

Hospital amenities also include:

• parking

• valet parking

• cafeteria

• prayer facilities

• ATM facilities

International patients travelling with a companion should confirm whether the accompanying person can stay overnight and whether additional fees apply.

Accreditation at Medicana International Istanbul

AACI accreditation

Medicana's current quality information states that Medicana International Istanbul received AACI accreditation in 2023 following assessment by the American Accreditation Commission International.

This is the most recent international hospital accreditation for the facility that can currently be clearly identified in Medicana's published quality information.

What about JCI accreditation?

Medicana International Istanbul has a documented history of accreditation with Joint Commission International – JCI.

Medicana records:

• initial JCI accreditation in 2010

• JCI re-accreditation in 2013

• JCI re-accreditation in 2016

However, Andrology Abroad should not describe Medicana International Istanbul as currently JCI accredited unless a more recent valid certificate or JCI record can be verified.

The accurate wording is:

“Medicana International Istanbul has a documented history of JCI accreditation and re-accreditation, with Medicana recording accreditation in 2010 and re-accreditations in 2013 and 2016. The hospital's current quality information also records AACI accreditation in 2023.”

This is more defensible than presenting an old JCI accreditation as current.

International Health Tourism Authorization

Medicana's current hospital information links to an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate issued by the:

Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health – General Directorate of Health Services

The certificate authorizes the facility to operate within Türkiye's regulatory framework for international health tourism.

This is particularly relevant to an international-patient hospital page because it directly concerns the hospital's participation in medical tourism rather than only general healthcare quality management.
