Istinye University Hospital operates under the prestigious Liv Hospital brand, combining the academic depth of a university with the high-end service standards of a luxury hotel. For international patients in 2025, this means access to top-tier healthcare at competitive prices compared to Europe and the US.
Previously, the facility in Bahçeşehir was the sole representative of this partnership. However, the network has expanded. Istinye University now brings its medical expertise to two major locations in Istanbul: the established Bahçeşehir campus and the newly opened Topkapı hospital.
About Istinye University Hospitals
The collaboration between Istinye University and Liv Hospital merges scholarly research with advanced digital infrastructure. It’s not just about treating illness; it’s about the entire patient experience. If you are exploring options across the city, you might want to read our guide on navigating healthcare in Istanbul to see how Istinye compares to other top facilities.
The Bahçeşehir Campus
Located in the planned district of Bahçeşehir, this hospital opened its doors in December 2016. It is a massive facility designed for comprehensive care:
- Size: 21 floors with 62,500 square meters of indoor space.
- Capacity: 394 beds and 94 intensive care units.
- Technology: Equipped with a smart building system for immediate emergency intervention.
The New Topkapı Campus
The newer addition to the family is the Istinye University Liv Hospital Topkapı. Situated more centrally in the Zeytinburnu district, this facility brings the same level of excellence closer to the historic heart of Istanbul. It boasts 50,000 square meters of space, 300 beds, and 11 high-tech operating rooms.
What Makes Istinye University Liv Hospital Different
Istinye University Hospital has firmly placed itself on the global medical tourism map. Here is why patients travel here:
5-Star Hotel Comfort
Turkish hospitality, or misafirperverlik, is legendary, and Liv Hospital integrates this into healthcare. The “Liv Concept” ensures that patients feel like guests in a high-end hotel rather than sick people in a clinic.
The hospital features a hairdresser, a café, and a bistro. Patient rooms are designed for luxury, offering amenities such as international TV channels, high-speed internet, and newspapers. Personalized diets are crafted by nutritionists to aid recovery while catering to taste.
Organ Transplantation Center of Excellence
The Bahçeşehir campus is one of Turkey’s leading centers for organ transplants. Led by the renowned Prof. Dr. Ayhan Dinçkan, the team achieves survival rates that compete with world-leading institutions.
As of 2025, the center has performed over 6,000 surgical interventions (kidney, liver, and pancreas transplants) with a reported success rate of 91.7%. They are equipped to handle complex pediatric and adult cases.
2025 Estimated Transplant Prices:
- Kidney Transplant: $18,000 – $20,000
- Liver Transplant: $45,000 – $65,000
Note: Prices are approximate and subject to medical evaluation.
Advanced Technology & Oncology
The hospital utilizes cutting-edge technology like the 1.5 Tesla MR Linac Unity for precise radiation oncology and the Da Vinci Robot for minimally invasive surgeries. This technology is vital for complex cancer treatments and urological procedures.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
From hair restoration to complex reconstruction, the aesthetic department is highly active. Common procedures include rhinoplasty (nose jobs), breast aesthetics, and body contouring after bariatric surgery. Post-op care is crucial, so if you need supplies after discharge, check our guide on buying medicine in Turkey.
