Liv Hospital

What Liv Hospital does

Liv Hospital is a privately-held, multi-location hospital group headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, operating as a brand vehicle of MLP Care, a larger Turkish healthcare operator with roughly 25 years of institutional experience. Founded in 2013, the group runs eight facilities — seven across Turkey (four in Istanbul at Ulus, Vadistanbul, Topkapı, and Bahçeşehir, plus Ankara, Gaziantep, and Samsun) and one international site under the Liv Bona Dea brand in Baku, Azerbaijan (opened 2022). Its flagship Ulus campus spans 30,000 sqm with 154 beds, 8 operating rooms, and 50 specialty clinics, while Bahçeşehir is the network's largest at 62,500 sqm on 21 floors.

The clinical platform is built around a dense stack of advanced medical technology — da Vinci robotic surgery (including single-port variant), MR-Linac, Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery, DBS, TAVI, MAKO and ROSA robotic orthopedic systems, Excimer/MEL 90 refractive lasers, PET-CT, 256-slice CT, 3T MRI, O-Arm, hybrid OR, ICG fluorescence, neuro-navigation, robotic rehabilitation, stem cell therapy, and IVF/embryology — supported by a digital services layer (e-Randevu, e-Sonuç, mobile app, video consultation). Its go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer acquisition through multilingual digital channels and physical hospital visits, dedicated International Patient Center coordination in 11+ languages (English, Turkish, French, Russian, Arabic, Georgian, Bulgarian, Albanian, Romanian, Azerbaijani, Bosnian, Serbian), contracted relationships with insurance providers, and bundled offerings (Standard/Silver/Gold check-ups, 9-month maternity packages, Gold/Silver cancer screening).

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services for inpatient and outpatient care, supplemented by health-check packages (one-time fees), recurring contracted insurance volume, and health tourism / cross-border patient services. The group holds Joint Commission International accreditation, ISO 9001:2015 certification, Newsweek World's Best Hospitals 2026 recognition, and a Turkish Health Tourism Authorization Certificate, which together credential it for premium domestic and international patient segments. Financial metrics — revenue, headcount, utilization, and ownership-stake specifics — are not publicly disclosed.
