Basaksehir Medical City and its investment importance
Integrated Medical City in Basaksehir is the largest healthcare project in Turkish history. The medical city was officially inaugurated in May 2020, and the Turkish president came to this big event for being among the mega projects constructed by the Turkish government recently.
Where is it?
The medical city is located in the Basaksehir district in a strategic location on the highway that connects Istanbul International Airport with the TEM highway. It is one of the closest places to Istanbul Airport. Moreover, it is near the future new Istanbul Canal and close to the third bridge (Sultan Yavuz Selim Bridge). The government has also started developing a subway line between the Medical City and Basaksehir metro lines under the name M11.
Huge space!
The project area is very huge, with a total area of one million and 21 thousand square meters, divided into green spaces and gardens with a total of 171 thousand square meters, and 145 thousand square meters of cafes break and seating and waiting. The actual area in which the buildings of the Medical City were established is 789 thousand square meters.
The main hospital departments
The Medical City includes eight hospitals and departments divided into 10 buildings as follows:
• Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital
• Children's Hospital for Malignant Diseases
• Neurosurgery Hospital
• Heart Disease Hospital
• Orthopedic Hospital
• psychiatric hospital
• Physical Hospital and Rehabilitation
Hospital capacity
The medical departments have been designed to accommodate 2,600 beds, divided into:
• Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital: 395 beds.
• Children's Hospital for Malignant Diseases: 520 beds.
• Oncology hospital: 367 beds.
• Neurosurgery Hospital: 311 beds.
• Cardiology Hospital: 327 beds.
• Psychiatric Hospital: 128 beds.
• Physiotherapy Hospital: 200 beds.
• Emergency Department: It consists of diagnostic clinics that serve more than 2,000 patients daily.
• The Medical City consists of a clinic with different specialties that can cover 9000 visitors per day.
It is noteworthy that the medical city in Basaksehir will provide up to 9,000 job opportunities for health care workers. Professor (Mamishoglu), Director of Istanbul City Health, stated that the medical city will provide medical services to about 65 thousand people per day, and the Turkish Health Director continued that the Basaksehir Medical City project is a joint project between the public and private sectors, but its staff, who will provide the service, will consist of Fully of state doctors and workers in the Ministry of Health. While the private sector, represented by the construction company, will provide external services called support services such as cleaning, security, secretarial services, and technical services. It is important to note that all services will be free and not a single penny will be paid from the pocket of any citizen. He concluded: “The opening of the Medical City will not lead to the closure of any other medical facility, and healthcare services will be provided at full capacity.
In addition to everything a special building!
The main building in the Medical City is considered one of the largest anti-seismic buildings in the world with 2,068 earthquake isolators that support the bases of other buildings in the Medical City. Because in the case of these insulators, it would be possible to perform surgeries during earthquakes without any distraction. The steel used in this facility will reach 95 thousand tons, which is 10 times the Eiffel Tower in France!
Medical equipment in the hospital:
Professor Bakir Tviko, Head of the Department of Neurosurgery, said that the Medical City will provide the most important and modern medical equipment such as:
• High-level endoscopy, a neuromodulator for the internal tendons.
• A modern microscope for surgical operations.
• Seven CT scanners.
• Seven machines for magnetic resonance imaging.
• Ultrasound devices with 24 echo devices.
• Department of Nuclear Medicine, which includes two PET machines (four) and four computer imaging machines.
What facilities are available in the medical city?
• Three areas for helicopter landing.
• Parking lot for 8000 cars.
• Meeting room and public library.
• Vast areas of water and green areas.
• This facility is fully secured by a large security team and over 3,044 CVV cameras.
Investment point of view
Of course, buying property near the largest hospital in Europe is an important investment opportunity for many reasons, such as:
• Medical tourism: The Medical City will serve people from all over the world, and it has been built near one of the largest airports in the world. All of this will be easily accessible, so the first center of medical tourism in Europe will be in Istanbul.
• Living near Basaksehir Medical City means that you will be in the middle of the three largest projects that the Turkish government has built or will build: Istanbul International Airport, Medical City, and Canal Istanbul, which everyone is waiting patiently for. In addition, you will live in one of the modern places in Istanbul and will benefit from the modern transportation system from the metro to the E80 motorway.
Huge numbers and concepts that, 20 years ago, were beyond imagination at the level of Turkey and perhaps the entire region, because the future we were looking for has come. Today, the city of Basaksehir will provide the benefit and medical treatment for many Turkish citizens and possibly foreigners for free. This is the greatness of development and evolution!
