Verify our claims

We would rather you check us than trust us. Every accreditation and every “consent verified” date on this site is listed below with a plain-language explanation of what it actually means, and — where the accrediting body itself publishes a public lookup — a direct link to check it on their site, not ours. If a claim below has no external link, that is deliberate: we only link to a verification page we are confident is real, and would rather show you nothing than a guessed URL.

How to actually double-check a claim

  1. Take the hospital’s name and the accreditation it claims (e.g. “JCI ACCREDITED · 2024”) and search for it on the accrediting body’s own public directory — not a page we control. A link is provided below wherever one exists.
  2. Ask us for the hospital’s legal name and, if you want the underlying document, the accreditation certificate — a real certificate carries a certificate/survey ID you can quote back to the accrediting body if you contact them directly.
  3. For a named doctor, ask the hospital directly (by phone or in person, independent of us) whether that physician practices there — a claim that only exists on our site and nowhere else is a red flag, not a convenience.
  4. Treat every anonymized “Hospital A/C” entry below as exactly what it is: not yet independently checkable by you, because the hospital’s identity is only revealed with your personal quote. Don’t assume it is equivalent to a named, sourced claim.

Hospital accreditation claims

The 3 partner hospitals referenced across this site, exactly as listed in our own hospital records — including the ones with no accreditation claims on file yet.

Hospital A (JCI)
JCI
Joint Commission International

A US-based nonprofit that accredits hospitals worldwide against patient-safety standards — infection control, medication management, surgical protocols, and more. JCI accreditation is voluntary, re-surveyed on a cycle, and independently audited; a hospital cannot simply claim it.

Pera Oncology Center
European side
(Hospital B (JCI) pre-quote)
JCI ACCREDITED · 2024
Joint Commission International

A US-based nonprofit that accredits hospitals worldwide against patient-safety standards — infection control, medication management, surgical protocols, and more. JCI accreditation is voluntary, re-surveyed on a cycle, and independently audited; a hospital cannot simply claim it.

TR MoH LICENSE
Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health

The baseline legal operating license every hospital in Turkey must hold to treat patients at all. It is a licensing floor, not a quality distinction — we list it because a patient checking a foreign hospital should be able to confirm it is a licensed medical facility in the first place, not because it is a differentiator.

ISO 15189 LAB
ISO 15189 (Medical Laboratories)

An international standard specifically for the competence and quality of medical testing laboratories — pathology, biochemistry, and diagnostic labs. It is issued by accredited national ISO member bodies after an on-site technical audit, separate from a hospital's general JCI accreditation.

Hospital C

No accreditation is claimed for this hospital on our site. We list it that way on purpose rather than implying a credential it hasn’t shown us.

2 of 3 hospitals in our records carry at least one accreditation claim.

Doctor consent-verification dates

Every named professor on this site has a “consent verified” date on file — the month we last confirmed, with that physician directly, that they consent to being named, quoted, and linked to their case-review numbers on our site. It is not a medical credential; it is our own internal record of consent, shown here so you can ask us to re-confirm it if it looks stale.

8 named physicians. Ask us, or ask the physician directly, to re-confirm if a date looks old to you — we would rather be re-asked than be stale.

We are an independent patient-advocacy service, not the hospitals or accrediting bodies themselves — we cannot issue or revoke anyone else’s credential, and we have no financial reason to want you to stop checking. If you find a claim on this site that doesn’t hold up, tell us at care@oncologyistanbul.com — we will correct or remove it.
