About Alsancak Nevvar Salih İşgören Devlet Hastanesi

Alsancak Nevvar Salih İşgören Devlet Hastanesi is a public hospital in the heart of Alsancak, on Ali Çetinkaya Bulvarı, housed partly in one of İzmir's historic buildings. Its A block, known as the French Hospital, was built by the French in 1857 and enlarged in 1907, and served for many years as the French Hospital of İzmir. Under a protocol signed on 25 May 1978, the French government handed the hospital, its chapel and other annexes to the Turkish government, and they were allocated to the Ministry of Health. Between 1978 and 1986 the site was used in turn as a traffic and traumatology hospital, a hospital for the elderly, a public health centre and the health directorate. On 1 July 1986 it opened as the 50-bed Alsancak State Hospital. Its capacity was later raised and it took its present name; the hospital now reports 125 beds. The hospital and chapel are registered as protected heritage buildings by the regional conservation board, and the garden's century-old palm trees are protected along with them. Departments include outpatient clinics, laboratories, a health board, home health services and a social service unit. The switchboard is +90 232 444 35 14.
