Yedikule Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital Foundation

Yedikule Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital, one of the most established and experienced hospitals in Turkey, was founded under the leadership of Kazaz Artin Amira Bezciyan with the initiatives and support of the leading members of the Armenian community of the period. Established in 1832 with the decree of the Ottoman Sultan Mahmut II, the Hospital completed its construction and equipment works on 31 May 1934 and started to serve. Reliability and social responsibility have been the main principles guiding the Hospital’s activities throughout this period.

The Hospital, which meticulously adheres to its founding objectives and takes great care to preserve ethical values without deviating from the understanding of respect for humanity and service, has also closely followed technological developments. Surp Pırgiç Hospital is a hospital that has succeeded in both preserving its historical identity and adapting itself to technological innovations that are developing at a dizzying pace.
