Edirne Sultan Bayezid II Hospital.

The health and education institutions that were established based on Foundation tradition starting from the Umayyad and Abbasid, and especially in the Seljuk and Ottoman periods in the Turkish-Islam civilization where the patients were treated without expecting anything in return and health information based on practice and observation were provided were named “Darüşşifa”. It is derived from words of Arabic origin, dar (door, house, place, locus) and şifa (treatment, recovery), and means door of cure or house of cure. Ferit Devellioğlu describes “darüşşifa” as a “Home of Cure” in the OttomanTurkish Encyclopedic Lexicon.
