Erdoğan: 38,000 non-physician staff recruitment notice to come before end of 2026

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said a recruitment notice for 38,000 non-physician health personnel will be issued before 2026 ends. He made the announcement at a joint groundbreaking and opening ceremony for the Çapa and Esenyurt campuses of Istanbul University Hospital, held on the Çapa Faculty of Medicine campus in Istanbul.

At the ceremony, the Internal Medicine Hospital and Esenyurt Hospital were opened with a ribbon cutting, and foundations were laid for the Orthopedics, Traumatology and Surgery-2 Hospital and the Deniz Abdal Mosque. Erdoğan thanked the Health Ministry, the university and the contractor, and wished success to the doctors, surgeons, nurses and administrative staff who will work in the new hospitals.

Erdoğan also recalled the history of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, saying its roots lie in the Fatih Darüşşifası established by Sultan Fatih and that the Tıphane-i Amire was built by Sultan Mahmud II on 14 March 1827. He noted that the faculty will mark its 200th anniversary next year.
