Eşrefpaşa Hospital (Turkish: Eşrefpaşa Hastanesi) is a public hospital in Konak, İzmir.

History

The hospital's construction started in 1906. The hospital was opened in 1908, initially named the Venereal Diseases Hospital (Emraz-ı Zühreviye Hastanesi). The hospital was renamed in honor of Eşref Paşa in 1913. The hospital was closed down in 1921, during the occupation of Smyrna, and reopened a year later. The hospital was transferred to İzmir Municipality on 1 February 1950 by the special provincial administration (İl Özel İdaresi) of Izmir.[1] It is the only remaining municipal hospital in Turkey.[2] The hospital was renovated in 1990, and again between 2005 and 2006.[3] According to the Ministry of Health's quality evaluation in 2019, the hospital was assigned 97 points out of 100.[4]
