The Pathology department of Koç University Hospital started admitting patients in 2014 and has been providing high-quality service at global standards with a team of 15 pathologists - 9 of them professors-, 7 pathology/medical technicians, 5 medical transcriptionists and 4 biologists since then. Boasting a team of physicians recognized in the national and international arena and the top-of-the-line technology, the department soon became a frequently visited center in Turkey for pathology consultations, offering services not only within the hospital but also to healthcare institutions around and outside İstanbul. All patient needs are effectively met thanks to available facilities, including digital pathology, molecular pathology and electron microscopy. Our team of expert pathologists are each specialized in almost all specific branches of pathology.
Since its launch, the department of Pathology has increased the number of patient admissions by about 40 percent and annual molecular pathology evaluations up to one thousand. As of the year 2019, over twenty thousand specimens were analyzed at the department.
