Koru Health Group

What Koru Health Group does

Koru Health Group (Koru Sağlık ve Turizm Grubu) is a physician- and academician-founded private hospital group headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, operating three facilities: the flagship JCI-accredited Koru Ankara Hospital, Koru Sincan Hospital in western Ankara, and the newer Koru Kavakl\u0131dere Hospital in central Ankara. The group runs 45+ medical departments with 100+ specialist physicians, offering services that span emergency care, oncology, cardiology, neurosurgery, urology, gynecology, orthopedics, obstetrics/perinatology, bone marrow transplantation, obesity surgery, and neonatal intensive care, supported by a capital-intensive technology stack that includes Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery, Da Vinci robotic surgery across multiple specialties, the Focal One Robotik HIFU system (first in Turkey for non-surgical prostate cancer treatment), Elekta Versa HD radiotherapy, PET/CT, TAVI, CARTO 3 Prime for arrhythmia, 4D ultrasound, and genetic diagnostics.

The business model is a multi-channel healthcare services platform. Domestic revenue comes from out-of-pocket payments, private health insurance (50+ partners including Anadolu Sigorta, Allianz, Acıbadem), and contracted institutional agreements with 50+ Turkish government bodies (SGK, ministries, armed forces, parliament), 15+ banks, 15+ universities, and 12+ embassies. A dedicated International Patient Relations Department operates a medical tourism channel serving 10,000+ patients per year from 62 countries, with end-to-end coordination of travel, language, and treatment. Digital touchpoints include an online appointment system, a 24/7 online results portal, and a 7,720+ article health information library used for patient education and organic acquisition. The group is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors, parent company, or public listing.

The group holds the JCI Gold Seal of Approval and was the first hospital in Turkey to receive SAS/ISQua Quality Accreditation. KORUSEV, a corporate foundation under the group, runs social responsibility and sustainability programs aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals. No public revenue, funding, M&A, or headcount-trend data is disclosed, and the company has no AI/ML products, proprietary models, or external API — the technology differentiators are precision-medicine hardware rather than software.
