One month after a partial opening of its services, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan presided over the Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital’s full opening during a ceremony on May 21 that was also attended by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe via video conference.
Emphasizing that the project made a great contribution to the friendship among the two countries, President Erdoğan said, “Başakşehir Çam and Sakura Hospital is one of the proud monuments of Istanbul not only in terms of aesthetics, but also with its technological infrastructure, associated buildings, location, facilities, and other features.”
With a capacity of delivering healthcare to 35,000 outpatients daily, the hospital will be able to provide uninterrupted service to both Turkish and foreign patients during the COVID-19 outbreak.
