Acıbadem Adana Hospital and Acıbadem Ortopedia Hospitals, which are located within the earthquake zone, were also activated to receive survivors, while ambulances and healthcare trailer truckers were mobilised to provide on-site medical care.
Beyond medical support, our Acıbadem team as well as colleagues from Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong also provided humanitarian aid in the form of hot meals, warm clothes, and cash.
Acıbadem Healthcare Group subsequently constructed a housing quarter for displaced victims of the quake. Aptly named Solidarity Quarter, the 40,000-square-metre housing project consists of 260 self-contained houses which were shipped from Istanbul to Malatya.
Solidarity Quarter comes complete with healthcare services, laundry facilities, a dining hall, gardening plots, and social areas, as well as a playground, classroom and library for the children.
This project provided much-needed respite for the residents of Solidarity Quarter, many of whom had been living on the streets after the quake. You can learn more about the Solidarity Quarter Project here.
