The new campus, which will house eight hospitals with a total of almost 2,500 beds, is part of a health program to improve the country's public hospital infrastructure through the public-private partnership model (PPP).
"This landmark project is an important milestone in the transformation of Turkey's healthcare sector, being the largest health campus in the world," Serhat İnanç, CEO of a company established by the consortium to build and maintain the health campus, said.
"Expanding access to high-quality healthcare services for all population groups is a central element of our strategy in Turkey," Aisha Williams, IFC country manager for Turkey, said.
