Fatih Sultan Mehmet Education and Research Hospital hospital was established in 1952 after a five-year period of extensive work for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. The efforts of Naki KÖSTEM, the Postmaster General at the time who suffered from the disease himself, was invaluable for their hospital's inception. Designed by Architect Şekip AKAL, the hospital served with 75 beds initially, and MD Kamil GALATALI was its first director.

 

The hospital's transformation from a specialty- to a general services hospital commenced in 1954 with the integration of general surgery and internal medicine units, and it has been serving as a training and research hospital since 1983.

 

Located in a large grove, their hospital currently serves with a 300-bed capacity according to the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health Hospital Quality Standards for Healthcare.
