What KOLAN HOSPITAL GROUP does

KOLAN HOSPITAL GROUP is a private, for-profit multi-site hospital operator founded in 1997 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, with 5,001–10,000 employees. The group operates six hospitals and medical centers across Istanbul (Şişli, Bayrampaşa, Beylikdüzü, Büyükçekmece) and Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus (Kıbrıs Kolan British Hospital and Kolan British Medical Center), with two facilities (Şişli and Beylikdüzü) affiliated with Istanbul Health and Technology University (ISTÜN). It runs JCI-accredited tertiary services spanning oncology, organ transplantation, IVF, bariatric/metabolic surgery, hair transplantation, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, and psychological treatments, organized through branded specialty centers (Kolan Hair, Kolan Tüp Bebek, Kolan Kanser, Kolan Obezite, Doktor Check-up Center).

Core technology consists of a healthcare information system supported by the Kendine İyi Bak patient portal and mobile application for online appointments, lab results, e-consulting, and patient communication, complemented by a 2025-launched AI-powered WhatsApp assistant for scheduling and inquiry automation. The group's go-to-market is direct hospital services with a sales-led, multi-channel patient acquisition model: a 7-language website (Turkish, English, German, Russian, Bulgarian, Arabic, French), an international patient services department, a 24/7 health hotline (444 1 443), social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube/Kolan TV, LinkedIn), and a content marketing blog (Kolan Sağlık). Revenue is generated through fee-for-service medical procedures, elective specialty services (hair transplant, IVF, bariatric, cosmetic), and digital service interactions; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer mix is split between local Turkish patients (regional) and international/medical-tourism patients (global), with the Cyprus operations specifically positioned around British-standard care for international patients.
