Clinic Review

Liv Hospital

Liv Hospital is Turkey's leading general hospital. With leading doctors with over 25 years of experience and a multidisciplinary approach, Liv Hospital has quickly become a leader in providing high-quality medical services. The clinic uses only the most advanced diagnostic and treatment methods, including the Da Vinci Robot, True Beam linear accelerator, four-dimensional cardiograph and other modern technologies.

LIV stands for Leading International Vision, showing the recognition of Liv Hospital by the medical community as the leader at the world arena of the medical services.

Modern medical departments, the latest technologies, and experienced specialists have all helped Liv Hospital become a centre of global medicine that specialists from around the world look up to. This hospital is considered a leader in such areas as cardiac surgery, oncology, abdominal surgery and bariatrics, as well as neurosurgery and dentistry.

Liv Hospital is recognised by the international community, as confirmed by the most prestigious medical accreditation, Joint Commission International (JCI), as well as TÜV (a European standard ISO document).


In 2016, the clinic received an honourable award from the Centre for High Quality for its achievements in robotic surgery and bariatric surgery.

Liv Hospital is the first and only institution outside the United States to be certified in ‘Robotic Surgery’ and ‘Robotic Abdominal Surgery’ by an international surgical organisation. From its very first day of operation to the present, Liv Hospital has remained confident that the best therapy is an individualised approach to each specific patient.

Liv hospital is:

  • located on an area of 30,000 m2;
  • consists of 50 medical and diagnostic centres;
  • 154 beds.
  • 8 operating departments and 48 operating rooms.

Structure of the Liv Hospital Network

Liv Hospital is a network comprising four clinics: Liv Ulus, Liv Ankara, Liv Samsun, and Liv İstinye Bahçeşehir. This allows patients to receive high-quality, affordable treatment in any of these four cities in Turkey.

Liv Ulus Clinic is located in Istanbul. It can accommodate 154 patients for inpatient treatment. It has 50 departments, the most advanced of which are oncology, transplantology, robotic surgery, and stem cell therapy. Liv Ulus Hospital has received JCI and ISO-TUV accreditations for the high quality of its medical services.

The Liv Istinye Clinic is a 21-storey building with 30 offices, 12 operating theatres, 394 patient rooms and 94 intensive care rooms. The hospital has a Spine Surgery Centre and an Epilepsy Centre. Cardiac surgery is well developed here: TAVI valve implantation can be performed.

Liv Ankara Clinic is located in the capital of Turkey. The hospital has gained international recognition for the quality of its robotic surgery and abdominal surgery. At Liv Ankara Hospital, you can undergo a bone marrow transplant, have a prostate tumour removed using the Da Vinci robot, treat degenerative diseases of the spine, and much more.

Samsun Clinic is located near the Black Sea coast. In addition to a pleasant maritime climate and premium service, the hospital offers assistance in 25 areas of medicine. The hospital is equipped with four modern operating theatres and can accommodate 60 patients. The clinic is often sought out for the treatment of urological diseases and diabetes mellitus. It provides high-quality medical care for children.

Medical achievements of the Liv Hospital Network

  • Liv Hospital is guided by the principle of ideal service and focuses on health rather than illness. Approximately 13,000 operations are performed at the clinic each year.
  • More than 50,000 foreign patients choose Liv Hospital from among the best clinics in the world. The survival rate after cardiological, neurosurgical, and gastrointestinal surgeries exceeds the Turkish average by approximately 10% (96% for cardiological surgeries, 91% for neurosurgery, and 94% for gastrointestinal surgeries).
  • Patients choose Liv largely because the clinic's activities are based on a scientific platform. The clinic's doctors compare their results with data from their colleagues at other top medical institutions around the world. Moreover, during the clinic's period of operation, its staff has held more than 36 international scientific forums.
  • Liv Hospital's management is striving to go even further in the field of medical achievements. Currently, the Liv Topkapı Education and Research Centre is under construction, which will be a future stronghold of scientific development, enabling high-quality assistance to be provided to even more patients. In addition, most of the clinic's best staff actively collaborate with Istanbul University in the field of medical research.

Cutting-edge technology at Liv Hospital

  • The main feature of Liv Hospital is its cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment technology, as well as the expertise of its specialists in using it, which is also important. The hospital specialises in robotic surgery using the Da Vinci Robot. This is a surgical device controlled by an experienced specialist. It allows for 3D imaging of the surgical site during operations, achieving extreme precision while performing manipulations through small incisions. This technology is used to treat cancer patients, perform heart surgery, and perform all laparoscopic operations.
  • One of the latest technical achievements in medicine used at Liv Hospital is the TrueBeam STx linear accelerator. This technology is particularly effective in treating patients with all types of cancer, as the device allows for maximum irradiation of the tumour without affecting healthy tissue.
  • Liv Hospital was also the first in Turkey to use a treatment planning programme called Acuros XB. Thanks to this, the clinic can calculate the required radiation dose more accurately than other systems, which is very important in radiotherapy.

The Liv Clinic differs from other clinics around the world not only in the technologies it uses, but also in its approach to patient (guest) care and its understanding of the concept of ‘patient care.’ In this hospital, the patient becomes not just a patient, but a guest. For this purpose, a special ‘Guest Services Department’ has been created, which first meets and greets patients at the entrance, then accompanies them and their loved ones at every stage.
