Healthcare law and malpractice in Istanbul
Treatment that starts in a public hospital on the Asian side and continues in a private clinic on the European side creates two files. One is the hospital archive. The other is the private provider’s consent and invoice record. The Istanbul Provincial Health Directorate lists these institutions. The Cerrahpaşa site is the university hospital’s own door. Which court is competent is not stated before the hospital’s status and the kind of legal relationship are read.
The office of Konar Hukuk is in Çankaya, Ankara. There is no physical office or branch in this city. Suitable files can be reviewed remotely. Representation follows the procedure of the authority that holds the file. This page does not promise an in-person meeting in the city.
The patient, the doctor and the private provider do not melt into one petition
For a patient, the epicrisis, the images, the consent and the operation note are requested. For a doctor or another health worker, the record kept about them and the internal letter are separate. The contract of a private hospital operator is not treated as the same route as an administrative act of a public hospital.
An expert and forensic medicine do not produce an Istanbul-only result
A forensic medicine review and an expert report are not an automatic finding based on the city where the treatment happened. An objection period does not run before the report is served. This page does not give an opinion about a named hospital or doctor.
Papers that stay before an application
The discharge summary, the imaging disc and the signed consent can be requested without changing city. The document checklist marks which paper is missing. The list does not say the claim will be accepted.

Questions
If the clinic is on the European side and the surgery was in Kartal, is there one case?
Not automatically. The public record and the private provider’s record are requested separately. The competent court depends on the kind of relationship.
Does the provincial health directorate impose a criminal penalty on a doctor?
This page states no such result. The directorate is an official directory and an administrative door. A criminal investigation is the prosecutor’s work.
Is the Cerrahpaşa site itself the patient file?
No. The site is the university’s door. The file is requested from the hospital’s records unit.
Is an in-person hospital review in Istanbul promised?
No. The papers can be read at the office in Ankara. No promise is made to attend the hospital.
