The journey which led us to the establishment of Baskent University, has started with Turkish Transplant and Burns Treatment Foundation established in 1980, continued with the first dialysis center coming into operation on March 12, 1982. After the foundation of the first hospital on September 16, 1985, we have launched Baskent University in 1994, for the purposes of educating individuals who stand to Atatürk’s principles, embrace the science as their guide, has a national consciousness, have an inquisitive, productive, analyzing and integrative frame of mind, and are respectful to human rights and the nature, creative and innovative.

Perseverance, self-sacrifice and confidence have led us to an impressive progress in a short period of time. Baskent University provides services through its employees and facilities according to “a week is 7 days, a day is 24 hours” principle which aim at offering a high quality of service.
