Lokman Hekim Saglik

What Lokman Hekim Saglik does

Lokman Hekim Sağlık Grubu is a publicly listed Turkish multi-facility healthcare operator (Borsa Istanbul: LOKMAN), founded in 1996 and headquartered in Ankara. The group operates nine healthcare institutions — hospitals, medical centers, a dental hospital, and diagnostic/imaging centers — concentrated in Ankara (Akay, Üniversitesi Ankara, Etlik, Demet, Söğütözü Diş, plus Sağlık Danışmanlık), with additional sites in Istanbul and Van and international facilities in Erbil, Iraq and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Total licensed capacity spans roughly 800+ beds across the largest hospitals, supported by 280+ physicians and approximately 2,974 total employees as of 2023. The portfolio covers 22+ medical specialties, with tertiary-care capabilities including robotic surgery, cardiology and cardiac surgery, oncology, orthopedics, maternity/IVF, and 24-hour emergency services, plus dedicated Health Tourism authorization.

The business model is anchored in direct delivery of inpatient and outpatient services across the owned facility network, paid via a mix of insured patients (through partnerships with sigorta şirketleri) and direct-pay patients. A dedicated international patient division (lokmanhekiminternational.com) and the Her Yerde Sağlık (HYS) digital comparison platform extend monetization into cross-border medical tourism, which contributed approximately 11,990 international patients annually on top of 1.1 million+ domestic patients. Supporting digital infrastructure consists of an E-Randevu online appointment system, content marketing through a Saglık Rehberi health guide, and complementary non-core operations (Hay-Süt dairy subsidiary) that are immaterial to the core thesis. Differentiating assets include university hospital status at the Ankara campus, ISO 9001:2008 certification, multiple Baby-Friendly Hospital designations from the Ministry of Health and UNICEF, and acceptance in 2025 into the Turquality Support Program — a state-sponsored export and brand-development initiative administered by Turkey's Ministry of Commerce.
