In brief
Liv Hospital says it operates under the MLP Care Group umbrella with eight hospitals. The Ulus and Vadistanbul pages give addresses and department lists but no bed, operating-room or intensive-care numbers. The accreditation wording differs between pages, so each claim below carries the place to check it.
The hospital
What Liv Hospital is
The group's About page says Liv operates under the MLP Care Group umbrella and counts eight hospitals in Türkiye and Azerbaijan, with 196,000 square metres of enclosed area in total. It says "15+ years of experience" and gives no founding year; the Ulus page says the hospital "opened its doors" in 2013.
Two other Istanbul hospitals appear on the site with university names (İSÜ Liv Hospital Bahçeşehir, opened December 2016, and İstinye University Liv Hospital Topkapı). This guide covers Ulus and Vadistanbul only.
Campuses
Campuses and what each states
Istanbul
Liv Hospital Vadistanbul
Ayazağa
Ayazağa Mah. Kemerburgaz Cad. Vadistanbul Park Etabı, 7F Blok, 34396 Istanbul
- The hospital lists 52 branches and 112 doctors.
- It describes itself as at the forefront of health tourism because of its proximity to the airport.
Ulus and Vadistanbul
Liv Hospital Ulus lists 62 departments, 14 paediatric specialties, a neonatal intensive care unit and a regenerative medicine and stem cell centre. Liv Hospital Vadistanbul lists 52 branches and 112 doctors, and says it is close to the airport. The Vadistanbul page says the group's journey "started in 2013" with this as its sixth hospital, so 2013 there refers to the group, not to this building.
Accreditation wording
The Ulus page mentions accreditations "such as Center of Excellence and JCI". The page the site titles JCI accreditation makes no JCI claim: it gives no campus, date or certificate. The Vadistanbul page makes no accreditation claim at all. The home page also cites inclusion in a Newsweek list for 2026; that is a magazine listing, not an accreditation, and we do not rely on it.

Every register and professional body this guide relies on, so that the figures above can be checked at the organisation that publishes them rather than taken from us.
- 1.T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı — Ministry of Health of Türkiye
Licenses every clinic and hospital operating in Türkiye, and issues the separate health tourism authorisation a facility needs before it may treat international patients.
- 2.T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı, Sağlık Turizmi Daire Başkanlığı — authorised facilities and intermediary agenciesOfficial register
The Ministry's own index of who holds a health tourism authorisation certificate, linking the facility list and the intermediary list. This is the page to check a clinic against, and checking it takes about two minutes.
- 3.USHAŞ — International Health Services
The Ministry of Health's own body for international patients. Publishes which facilities hold health tourism authorisation, and takes complaints from patients treated in Türkiye.
- 4.Joint Commission International — accredited organisations registerThird-party accreditor
The public register of JCI-accredited hospitals. A hospital's accreditation is either in this register or it is not, which makes it checkable in a way that a badge on the hospital's own website is not.
- 5.TÜSKA — Türkiye Sağlık Hizmetleri Kalite ve Akreditasyon EnstitüsüOfficial register
The accreditation institute's own notice to authorised facilities about the 31 December 2026 deadline, and what it says will happen to those that have not completed the process. Its register of accredited organisations is where a claim to hold the accreditation can be checked.
Listing a body here is not a claim of endorsement by it. Where a figure could not be traced to a source of this kind, it was removed from the guide rather than published unattributed.
