Registry methodology
How Turkey Health Hub compiles, verifies and updates the facility registry — and what the registry does not claim.
Sources
- Ministry of Health authorised-facility lists (last list date: 5 October 2026): hospitals, medical centres, medical practices and other authorised facilities.
- HealthTürkiye registry (retrieved 5 November 2026): facility inventory, licence numbers, accreditations, languages and contact details.
- Facility declarations submitted through the claim flow, with evidence checked by the registry team.
Matching
Records are normalised for Turkish characters and legal suffixes, then matched on city plus facility name; phone, address and licence number are used as secondary signals. Exact matches are accepted automatically; uncertain matches go to a human review queue. We prefer leaving a record unmatched over merging two different facilities.
Verification states
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
sb_and_ht | Appears in both the Ministry list and the HealthTürkiye registry. |
sb_listed | Appears in the Ministry list; no matching HealthTürkiye record yet. |
portal_listed | Appears in HealthTürkiye; no matching Ministry list record yet. |
unverified | Information only; not verified against an official list. |
“Listed” means the facility appears in the cited official source on the stated date. It is not a Ministry endorsement, a quality rating, a ranking or medical advice.

- Ministry lists are re-checked when a new list is published.
- HealthTürkiye data is refreshed daily where access is available.
