Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul serves as Turkey's primary oncology hub, hosting more JCI-accredited centers than any other Turkish city. This concentration allows institutions like Anadolu Medical Center to maintain an official partnership with Johns Hopkins Hospital. Patients find consistent value at Memorial Şişli Hospital, which was Turkey's first JCI-accredited facility and offers high success rates for complex urological oncology.
