Erdem Sağlık Grubu Brings 38 Years of Quality to the Global Stage with TURQUALITY®

Erdem Sağlık Grubu, winner of Turkey's prestigious brand support programme TURQUALITY®, shared this important milestone with its employees at a special celebration ceremony.

What is TURQUALITY®?
The TURQUALITY® Programme, administered by the Ministry of Commerce of Turkey, is a state support scheme based on selective criteria designed to expand Turkish brands with international competitive strength in global markets. Acceptance into the programme requires an intensive evaluation process in terms of quality systems, corporate governance and internationalization capacity.

38 Years of Experience, International Standards
Founded in 1988 on the principle "Service to humanity is Erdem's purpose," the group today delivers healthcare services in over 20 languages, building the international patient experience on a systematic foundation. TURQUALITY® acceptance carries the weight of independent validation of this structure's global relevance.

Success Celebrated with Employees
TURQUALITY® acceptance was announced at a special ceremony attended by employees. Teams supporting the programme were honoured with certificates and plaques; the ceremony concluded with an event reflecting the institution's collective effort and strong corporate culture. Management board members, led by Board Chair Abdurrahman Külünk, shared with employees the institution's progress in medical tourism, quality and patient experience, as well as corporate objectives.

"TURQUALITY® is not merely a certificate for us. It is validation of the 'Service to humanity is Erdem's purpose' principle we established in 1988 transforming into a system operating at world standards. We see this success not as an endpoint, but as a starting point for a more disciplined, more robust and more sustainable future."

Touching on the development process of the international patient structure, the fieldwork of the teams forming the hospital's invisible backbone, and the corporate discipline that renews standards every day, the executives extended their gratitude to all employees who contributed to this journey.
