About Gazi Mustafa Kemal Mesleki ve Çevresel Hastalıklar Hastanesi

Gazi Mustafa Kemal Occupational and Environmental Diseases Hospital (Gazi Mustafa Kemal Mesleki ve Çevresel Hastalıklar Hastanesi) is a Ministry of Health public hospital in the Gazi neighbourhood of Yenimahalle, Ankara. The Ankara Provincial Health Directorate lists it with 155 beds. The hospital began as a railway hospital. Its own history page explains that, as health services for the growing staff of the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) expanded in the 1930s, construction began in 1939, and on 18 January 1943 it opened as TCDD Ankara Hospital, the railways' second hospital after the one in Eskişehir. Founded with 100 beds, it became the railways' largest central hospital. The page describes it as a teaching hospital that trained assistant doctors and housed what it calls Turkey's first psychotechnical laboratory. On 6 January 2003, under a protocol between TCDD and the social security institution SSK, it began working as SSK Gazi Hospital. When SSK hospitals were brought under the Ministry of Health by a 2005 law, it continued as Ankara Gazi State Hospital. A ministerial decision of 4 June 2009 renamed it Ankara Gazi Mustafa Kemal State Hospital, and on 21 October 2021 it received its present name and focus on occupational and environmental diseases. The hospital's emergency service page states that the emergency department is open 24 hours. The hospital is on Silahtar Caddesi; the provincial directorate gives the phone number as +90 312 212 66 66 (with further lines up to 71).
