Many hospitals around the world face undesired events, such as death, loss of limb (reversible or irreversible) and mental disorders, due to adverse events such as medication errors, incorrect-site or organ surgeries, falls from bed, incompatible blood transfusion reactions and suicide cases. Accreditations standards survey the extent patient- and organization-centered standards are met in hospitals based on the view “primum non nocere".
Istinye University Hospitals serve patients in line with the principle “eliminate adverse events that our patients may face before they occur" on the road we departed with the philosophy “Health for Everybody".
