American Hospital is located in the heart of Istanbul. It is one of the oldest privately owned hospitals in the country. The hospital was founded by Admiral Bristol in 1921.

Governed by a board of directors in the United States until 1995, Vehbi Koc Foundation bought the hospital and undertook an extensive renovation to bring it up to its current status. The hospital is tertiary private care facility with 150 beds. Assisted Reproduction Unit was founded in 1996 and rapidly became one of the most successful centers in the country performing over 1500 treatment cycles a year.

We receive patients from all over Turkey and also from the Turkish republics and Balkan states. Short of gamete and embryo donation and sex selection the services offered encompass all assisted reproduction and related procedures. Assisted Reproduction Unit has been relocated and now boasts luxuriously decorated waiting areas, large operating rooms, and state of the art embryology and andrology laboratories.

The unit headed by Dr. Bulent Urman is operated by a very experienced team of 8 gynecologists, 7 embryologist and embryology technicians and 1 andrologist. Supporting personnel include geneticians, dieticians, and psychologists, a very experienced nursing staff, and secretaries.
