The educational and research hospital Gülhane (Turkish Gülhane Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi ) is a medical research institute in 1898 in Istanbul as the military medicine Military Medical Academy Gulhane (Turk. Gülhane Askeri Tıp Akademisi, GATA was founded) and since 1941 Ankara has its seat.

history

In 1852 a German hospital opened in Constantinople . After Abdülhamid II's birthday , Wilhelm II visited the city in October 1898. On December 30, 1898, the Gülhane Military Medical Academy was officially opened in Fatih (Istanbul) . German doctors played a key role in its founding; for on the one hand, German medicine was world-renowned at that time; On the other hand, the German military mission in Turkey campaigned for not only the Ottoman armed forces but also the medical service to be reformed based on the German model.

German doctors played a decisive role in the construction of the Gülhane, namely Ernst von Düring , Robert Rieder , Georg Deycke and Julius Wieting . The surgeon Rieder was appointed general inspector of the imperial Ottoman medical schools and head of the Gülhane hospital, which is yet to be built. According to his plans, the house near Topkapı Palace was built in four months on the foundations of the dilapidated building of the former war school. It was put into operation on the opening day. According to Rieder, the academy should serve for theoretical and practical training. It was equipped according to the German model and moved the entire hospital facility, including an electricity system and X-ray equipment, from Germany. In 1903 the academy relocated to a palatial new building on the eastern bank of the Bosporus . Rieder headed it until 1904. The internist Georg Deycke had also come to Istanbul in 1898 as Rieder's deputy and successor. He was followed by Wieting, who had headed the surgical department since 1902. In 1915 Theobald Selling (1873-1946) took over the management of the hospital and Emil Morath (* 1875) took over the newly created dental service there.

In 1941 the academy was relocated to Ankara. It has been on the outskirts of the Turkish capital since 1971. In addition to generous training and research facilities, there is a hospital with 1,150 beds. Currently (as of February 2017) another building is under construction which would increase the number of beds to over 1,800. The Haydarpaşa Clinic in Istanbul with its 800 beds has been under the Gülhane Academy again since 1985.

"Anyone who visits the Gülhane Academy in Ankara today will find an impressive university facility in which the most modern medicine is taught and practiced, staffed by highly qualified teachers who understand how to combine science and military service in an exemplary manner."

- Heinz Goerke

For the 90th anniversary (1988) the Turkish army and the academy commander (general doctor Necoti Kölan ) invited German medical historians who were associated with the Bundeswehr reserve as medical officers . With Heinz Goerke , Hans Schadewaldt and Hans Becker , the army , navy and air force were also represented.

After the failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016 , the academy was transferred to the Ministry of Health. It was also renamed Gülhane Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi and has been a civil research institute since then.
