About us;

Our hospital opened in 1987 as a 150-bed State Hospital. In 1988, with the commencement of resident training, it became Kartal Training and Research Hospital. In 2000, the name of Dr. Lütfi Kırdar was added to the hospital, making it Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Training and Research Hospital. As of May 2020, due to our relocation to a new hospital, the name of our hospital was changed to Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital.

In 2015, an affiliation protocol was signed with the Health Sciences University, making our hospital also the Health Application and Research Center of the Health Sciences University.

With a capacity of 1,140 beds, our hospital provides training to medical specialization students in 41 clinics, as well as offering services in 56 branches across 17 separate buildings in 5 different districts: Kartal, Maltepe, Adalar, Pendik, and Tuzla. As of June 2020, our hospital is affiliated with the SBÜ Hamidiye International Faculty of Medicine.
