  "what": "A Turkish private hospital brand with more than twenty locations, whose flagship is the Ulus campus in Beşiktaş, Istanbul. It is one of the few hospitals in this directory that prints prices: fifteen screening packages in US dollars sit on its own international site, each with its test counts and a starting figure. This record is the brand and pins Ulus.",
  "story": "Liv was assembled as an export brand. Its public site is in English before it is in Turkish, its call centre answers around the clock, and its statistics block leads with doctors, patients and locations rather than with beds: 723 or more doctors, more than a million patients, more than twenty locations.\n\n*Inference —* the absence of a bed count from a hospital group's own front page is itself a choice. Beds are the number a ministry counts; doctors and locations are the numbers a buyer counts.\n\nOn accreditation the site names Joint Commission International without a year, ISO certification, the Türkiye international health tourism authorisation, an authorisation from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and a four-star rating from a hospital rating scheme. Four of those five are a licence or a purchase rather than an inspection of care, and this project counts them without weighting them.\n\nWhat separates Liv from every other Turkish group in this batch is the screening page. Acıbadem heads a page \"check-up packages and prices\" and prints no price. Liv prints fifteen.",
  "how": "Screening is sold the way an airline sells fares: a grid of named packages, each with a count of examinations, radiology, cardiology and laboratory tests, and a starting price per person in dollars. LIV STANDARD MEN begins at 600 dollars for three examinations, three imaging tests, one cardiology test and eleven laboratory tests. LIV GOLD CANCER SCREENING FOR MEN begins at 3,200 for seven examinations, four endoscopic and pathology studies, five imaging tests, three cardiology examinations and forty-five laboratory tests. The page states the price includes the medical reports.\n\nEvery figure is a starting price — the word on the page is from — which is a quotation floor and not a bill. Surgery is not priced anywhere on the site.",
  "today": "As of 17 September 2026 the international site states 723 or more doctors, more than a million patients, more than twenty locations, and fifteen screening packages priced from 590 to 3,200 US dollars. No bed count, no foreign patient count and no surgical price is published."
