Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals is a major Turkish private hospital chain based in Istanbul, Turkey — not in Singapore. This listing was incorrectly categorised under Singapore during legacy data migration and has been retained for transparency. All Florence Nightingale Hospital locations are in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals traces its origins to a Florence Nightingale Nursing School established in the 1960s, named in honour of Florence Nightingale, the English nursing pioneer and founder of modern nursing practice. The group expanded significantly with the establishment of the first private Cardiovascular Disease Hospital in Turkey in 1989 at Şişli, Istanbul, which grew to 300 beds.

The group subsequently established Avrupa Florence Nightingale Hospital in 1994 at Fulya, Şişli, Istanbul; Gayrettepe Florence Nightingale Hospital in 1996 at Gayrettepe, Beşiktaş, Istanbul (the first private comprehensive cancer centre in Turkey); and Istanbul–Kadıköy Florence Nightingale Hospital in 2007. Together, the group operates 484 patient beds, 26 operating rooms, 83 intensive care beds, and 32 emergency care beds across its Istanbul locations.

Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals serves as the teaching hospital for Istanbul Bilim University (Istanbul Science University) Medical School, reflecting its academic and research mission alongside clinical care. The group is a well-established presence in Turkey's private healthcare sector with a focus on cardiovascular surgery, oncology, and comprehensive multi-specialty care.
