About Emsey Hospital, Pendik, Istanbul

Emsey Hospital opened in 2012 on the Asian side of Istanbul in the Pendik-Kurtköy district. From the outside it looks like a standard modern private hospital. The credentials tell a different story.

Emsey was the first hospital in Turkey to enter the TURQUALITY programme, a government-supported branding certification for Turkish institutions that can represent the country at an international standard. It holds JCI accreditation (awarded 2017), ISO 9001, and Temos International accreditation with an A grade - that last one being awarded by the only ISQua-recognised body that includes international patient management in its assessment criteria. Emsey received both "Excellence in Medical Tourism" and "Quality in Medical Care" certificates from Temos.

The detail that stands out most for surgical patients: Emsey's Advanced Spine Surgery Center is the first EUROSPINE-certified Surgical Spine Centre of Excellence in Turkey and across Asia. That is a European professional society accreditation for spine surgery quality, not a marketing badge.

The Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit has 45 beds - one of the largest BMT units in Turkey. The hospital reached its 1,000th adult stem cell transplant milestone in 2019.

Location is genuinely practical for international patients: 10 minutes from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW). The Emin Residence adjacent to the hospital provides accommodation for patients and families during treatment.

Hospital Profile

Treatments at Emsey Hospital Istanbul

Orthopaedics & Advanced Spine Surgery

This is Emsey's flagship department. The Advanced Spine Surgery Center carries EUROSPINE Surgical Spine Centre of Excellence certification, the first in Turkey and the first in Asia. The center handles congenital spine conditions, scoliosis, spinal fusion, disc herniation, kyphosis, stenosis, and complex spinal tumors. International patients researching spine surgery in Turkey will find this department benchmarked against the same European standards used to evaluate spine centers in Germany and the UK.

Orthopaedics beyond spine includes joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder), sports injury surgery, and complex trauma management. The department uses intraoperative neuromonitoring during spine surgeries.

Haematology & Bone Marrow Transplant

45-bed BMT unit. 1,000+ adult stem cell transplants completed. The unit covers paediatric and adult haematology, including leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, and thalassemia. Stem cell therapy and bone marrow transplantation are among Emsey's most sought-after programs for Istanbul medical tourism patients.

Oncology & Cancer Treatment

Medical, gynaecologic, and radiation oncology under one facility. Nuclear medicine department supports diagnosis and treatment. Blood cancer, stem cell therapy, targeted therapies, and radiation treatment are all available. The department operates with personalised treatment planning per patient. For cancer treatment in Turkey, Emsey's integration of haematology and oncology is a practical advantage for patients needing both.

Cardiology & Cardiovascular Surgery

Full diagnostic and interventional cardiology. Paediatric cardiovascular surgery is a specific strength here - not all Istanbul hospitals carry dedicated paediatric cardiac surgical capability. Adult cardiac surgery including bypass, valve procedures, and interventional cardiology is performed alongside the paediatric unit.

Bariatric Surgery

Gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and obesity surgery under a specialist bariatric team. The program includes full pre-operative endocrine and nutritional assessment, surgery, and structured post-operative follow-up. For bariatric surgery in Turkey, Emsey is a strong option for patients wanting a hospital with broad medical depth alongside the bariatric program.

IVF & Reproductive Medicine

IVF, ICSI, egg freezing, sperm analysis, and fertility diagnostics. Emsey's fertility unit works alongside the gynaecology department for patients with underlying conditions affecting fertility. IVF in Turkey packages via DivinHeal include full cost planning before any travel commitment.

Gynaecology & Obstetrics

Labour, normal and caesarean delivery, water birth option, hysteroscopy, laparoscopic gynaecological surgery, endometriosis management, and oncological gynaecology. 3 delivery rooms including a water birth room, which is not standard at most Istanbul hospitals.

Neurology & Neurosurgery

Brain and spinal cord conditions, epilepsy, stroke management, and neurological tumors. Interventional neurology and neurosurgery with advanced imaging support.

Ophthalmology

Glaucoma, strabismus, cataract, retinal disorders, refractive errors, eyelid tumors, congenital tear duct obstruction, orbital tumors, and eye nerve conditions. Managed by Dr. Nukhet Ozsoy with 27 years of specialist experience.

Interventional Radiology

Full interventional radiology department - a department level that many private hospitals in Istanbul don't maintain independently. Managed by Prof. Ahmet Kemal Firat (27 yrs, Associate Professor).

General Surgery, Urology, Gastroenterology, Paediatric Surgery, Nuclear Medicine

Full medical coverage across all major departments. Nuclear medicine is a specific differentiator - not all hospitals in Istanbul Turkey have independent nuclear medicine departments.

Why Choose Emsey for Treatment in Turkey

EUROSPINE certification is a hard standard. Most spine surgery centers in Turkey have no European professional body oversight. Emsey's spine center does. For anyone comparing hospitals in Istanbul Turkey for spine treatment, that distinction matters.

45-bed BMT unit. One of the largest in Turkey. 1,000+ transplants. For haematology patients, capacity and experience both matter.

Temos A grade. The Temos International accreditation specifically evaluates international patient management - not just clinical standards. For medical tourism patients, this is directly relevant.

TURQUALITY. First hospital in Turkey to enter the programme. A government-assessed marker of international-standard service delivery.

10 minutes from SAW airport. Practical detail that cuts travel complexity for international arrivals.
