History of Silifke State Hospital
Silifke State Hospital began providing healthcare services in 1938 in the old Chief Physician’s Office building located in the center of Silifke.
Due to the growing population and increasing healthcare needs, the existing stone building was constructed and opened in 1961 through a state–citizen collaboration.
Construction of an additional building started in 1988 and was completed in 1993, after which it entered into service.
In 2007, the hospital expanded its service network through the merger of various healthcare institutions, incorporating the Tuberculosis Dispensary, No. 1 Health Center, and Group Directorate buildings into its structure.
At the end of 2006, the hospital was included in the “Right to Choose a Physician” program and began making significant progress in this regard starting in 2007.
Our new hospital building, constructed with modern infrastructure and advanced equipment, became operational on May 6, 2013.
As of today, Silifke State Hospital continues to provide modern, safe, and high-quality healthcare services to the residents of Silifke and surrounding regions with:
Over 600,000 outpatient visits annually,
230-bed capacity,
155 patient rooms (101 single, 50 double),
