ACIBADEM

What ACIBADEM does

Acıbadem is a Turkish-headquartered private hospital group founded in 1991 in Istanbul. The group operates more than 45 hospitals and outpatient clinics, employs approximately 30,000 people including 3,300+ medical specialists, and serves patients from over 90 countries. Since 2012 it has operated as part of IHH Healthcare Group, the world's second-largest hospital chain. Its international footprint extends beyond Turkey to the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Serbia.

The group delivers secondary and tertiary clinical care across oncology, cardiology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, reproductive medicine, organ transplantation, and aesthetics, deploying advanced technology platforms including MRIdian (MR-guided radiotherapy), CyberKnife, TomoTherapy, da Vinci robotic surgery, and TrueBeam linear accelerators. Acıbadem University provides clinical training and research, while the Acıbadem Beauty Center extends the portfolio into elective aesthetic services. Most facilities hold JCI accreditation, which underpins international patient confidence.

The business model combines domestic Turkish healthcare revenue with a medical tourism franchise. Acıbadem markets to international patients through more than 50 in-country information offices, 20-language support, and digital channels such as WhatsApp, and has treated over one million international patients cumulatively. Revenue derives from fee-for-service clinical care, insurance contracts, and bundled treatment packages priced at a discount to Western European and US equivalents. Acıbadem does not disclose standalone revenue; it is consolidated into the publicly reported financials of its parent, IHH Healthcare Berhad.
