As Koç; Healthcare, our top priority is patient safety in healthcare services. We are committed to delivering continuous, high quality, and safe treatment and care for our patients. To achieve this, we systematically enhance our medical and administrative practices through a comprehensive and measurable quality management system that complies with international standards.

At the heart of this transformation is Koç Healthcare, a group under the Vehbi Koç Foundation (VKV), including the American Hospital, Koç University Hospital, Bodrum American Hospital and the American Outpatient Medical Center.

  • The first European member of the prestigious Mayo Clinic Care Network.
  • HealthPassClub, the first fully comprehensive telehealth platform for Turkish citizens living in the United States.
  • Leadership in technologies such as robotic surgery and advanced cancer treatment.
  • Provides health services to the customers of more than 30 consulates, international insurance and assistance companies from all over the world.
  • RMK AIMES, which extends education beyond medical students by continuously advancing the expertise of healthcare professionals at all levels.
