American Hospital

HISTORY

American Hospital was founded in 1920 by US Navy Admiral L. Bristol as the first non-profit private hospital in Turkey and had a long-standing and reputable history ever since. A nursing school, another first for Turkey, was also established at the same time and has become inseparable from the hospital. After being supported and run by American Hospital of Istanbul Inc. based in New York, in 1995 the ownership of American Hospital was transferred to the Vehbi Koç Foundation (VKV) which had been supporting the hospital since the foundation’s establishment. VKV has invested more than $300 million for the development and renovation of the hospital; contributing to the process of the hospital becoming the leader in the healthcare sector of Turkey.
