Etlik City Hospital (Turkish: Etlik Şehir Hastanesi) is a city hospital complex project of Turkey, located in Etlik neighbourhood of Ankara. The groundbreaking ceremony was held in Ankara on 22 October 2013.[1] City hospitals are larger healthcare complexes in Turkey. The complex is Ankara's second city hospital after Bilkent City Hospital.
The complex will include 3,566 beds,[2] 100 surgery rooms, ~1,350 doctors and ~2,500 nurses. Complex is planned to serve 50,000 people daily.

- Physical therapy and rehabilitation hospital

Criticism
One of the concerns over city hospitals is the closure of other hospitals. Some argue that new shopping malls or more profitable buildings will be build after shutting down the hospitals.[4] Another concern is the lack of infrastructure, where the complexes will be built. Some argue that the roads are insufficient to carry the traffic of so many people.[4]
