Our
women have helped the sick and the poor with their hospitals (hospitals) and
social aid institutions throughout history. One of them is the Hasekisi of Suleiman
the Magnificent, II. Selim's mother is "Hürrem Şah", that is,
"Haseki Sultan." Haseki Sultan had Mimar Sinan built a mosque,
madrasah, imaret, primary school, and hospital in Avratpazarı where Haseki
Hospital is located. When the fame of the district exceeded the name of the
district, the region began to be called "Haseki".
The
construction of Haseki Sultan Hospital was completed in 1550. It changed its
name per its changing function over time. In his foundation dated 1551; It is
clearly stated that Darussifa is a general treatment institution. As health
personnel in the foundation, Two doctors, one kehhal (ophthalmologist), one
surgeon, one pharmacist, four nurses, and two attendants are envisaged.

the hospital, together with the administrative and auxiliary staff, is 28 and
this number has increased over time.

center were evacuated and turned into a thirty-bed hospital, and the sick
prisoners were divided into women. In official correspondence, the name “Nisa
Hospital Located in Haseki Tevfikhanesi” was used. Patients hospitalized in the
years when they were affiliated with the Registrar's Office were treated by
police officers and from time to time female patients who applied from outside
were given polyclinic services. During this period, physicians could not
provide regular treatment because they could come to the hospital every 10-15
days due to other duties. First, a pharmacist and Dr. Kiyako were appointed in
1871, and in 1872 a second physician was assigned a permanent status.1869, it

Şehremaneti
bought and repaired the mansion of Ali Sefik Bey, Moralı, in 1884.
Thus,
in 1885, the bed capacity increased to 100. After a while, this mansion, which
was an old building, could not meet the needs and was demolished in 1889. A
part of the garden of the Salih Pasha Mansion next to it was expropriated.
According to the plan of Architect Patrocle Kompanaki on this plot, a modern
hospital was started to be built in the pavilion system, which was very popular
in Europe in those years.
According
to the plan, the hospital would include twelve wooden wards, an operating room,
a sterilization room, a two-story civil servants' office, and a pauper's
pavilion.
In
January 1891, internal medicine and external diseases pavilions, operating
room, civil servants' office, and some outbuildings were put into service. The
highly modern operating room was built with a domed ceiling, painted with oil,
and the walls were covered with glass, very suitable for sterilization. Asepsis
and antisepsis were applied here for the first time in our country. The number
of beds increased to 200 and in 1893, patients were accepted to the pavilions.

number of beds was increased to 250. The area between Sulu Konak was included
in the hospital and the kitchen on the street was turned into a polyclinic.

historical hospital building was started to be used for the observation and
isolation of mentally ill patients with the name of "Haseki Meccanın Müşahedehanesi".

Bey Pavilion, the foundation of which was laid in 1911, could not be completed
due to the intervening Balkan and World Wars; it was only able to enter service
in 1924.
With
this fifty-bed pavilion, the number of beds increased to three hundred.
A
fire in 1918 ruined the historic Darussifa building again. It was repaired in
1946 with the efforts of Lutfi Kirdar, the Governor and Mayor of the period,
and it was put into operation again in 1948.

Haydarpasa, was transferred to the Istanbul side, the faculty's obstetrics,
treatment and pharmacology, and 2nd External Clinics were placed in Haseki

and Gynecology Clinic from here until it moved to Cerrahpasa in 1967, gave the
hospital the appearance of a maternity hospital.
To
understand the Claxon Ban that was put into practice in Istanbul in 1951 (in
1952 when Fahrettin Kerim Gokay was the governor and mayor), a building whose
construction started in the hospital garden was symbolically called the
"Klakson Ban Pavilion". The construction was completed in a short
time with the donations added to the fund from the municipality. The Klakson
Ban Pavilion was put into service on 23 November 1953 with a ceremony.
In
1962, a second floor with sixty beds was built on this pavilion. When Istanbul

foundation of the Additional-Service building, which was opened at the
beginning of 2006, was laid in 1985, during the period of Op. Dr.Alaattin
