Connected Care: Slemani & Istanbul
Two Cities. One Standard of Excellence.
Connected Care: Slemani & Istanbul
At First Class Hospital, we believe that healthcare should be continuous, accessible, and collaborative. Our Slemani branch is not just an extension of our Istanbul hospital — it’s an integrated part of a shared vision: providing world-class care to patients in Kurdistan and beyond.
How Are the Two Hospitals Connected?
Unified Medical Protocols and Quality Standards
Both branches follow the same treatment guidelines, safety protocols, and ethical practices. All procedures — from diagnosis to post-operative care — are based on internationally recognized standards, ensuring consistency in quality, whether you are treated in Slemani or Istanbul. Staff in both locations are trained and evaluated using the same performance metrics.
Centralized Digital Patient Records
Patient files, imaging, lab results, and treatment plans are stored in a secure, cloud-based system shared by both hospitals. This allows doctors in Istanbul to instantly review your test results done in Slemani — and vice versa — with no need for you to carry physical documents. It ensures faster decision-making and eliminates duplicate testing or delays.
Seamless Referral & Treatment Coordination
If a patient in Slemani requires a procedure or test not available locally (e.g., MRI, cardiac catheterization, dental implants), the hospital will: Book your appointment in Istanbul, transfer all necessary records automatically, assign you a coordinator to manage your travel and hospital entry. Once you return, the same doctors in Slemani will continue care exactly where it left off — with full access to your Istanbul treatment records.
Visiting Doctors from Istanbul
Every month, specialist doctors and consultants from Istanbul travel to Slemani to:
- Provide in-person evaluations and second opinions
- Perform advanced diagnostics or minor procedures
- Support local teams with complex case planning
Examples of visiting specialties include:
- Cardiology (e.g., advanced echocardiography or stress testing)
- Orthopedics (surgical evaluations, spine assessments)
- Pediatrics (specialist allergy, growth, or neurological cases)
- Dental implantology and orthodontics
- Dermatology and aesthetic consultations
These visits are scheduled in advance and are available for local and international patients.
Easy Referral to Istanbul for Advanced Treatment
For procedures not available in Slemani — patients are directly referred to the Istanbul branch with:
Priority booking at the Istanbul facility
Medical coordination between both teams
Full access to diagnostic reports and prior consultations

Return to Slemani for Recovery & Follow‑Up
After receiving surgery or treatment in Istanbul, patients can return home and continue care at the Slemani branch:
- Follow-up exams and imaging

This means you don’t need to travel back for every check-up — your recovery can be done safely and locally.
