Acıbadem City Clinic Tokuda Hospital

Acıbadem City Clinic Tokuda Hospital is Bulgaria's largest private hospital, located in Sofia and operating as part of the Acıbadem Healthcare Group — the Turkish-origin network that spans Turkey, Bulgaria, and the Netherlands. The hospital was originally founded in 2006 as Tokuda Hospital Sofia, rebranded under the Acıbadem City Clinic umbrella following acquisition, and achieved JCI accreditation in 2018. It functions as the primary referral destination for private tertiary care in the country, with particular strength in cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, reproductive medicine, and plastic surgery. The hospital operates a dedicated International Patient Centre that coordinates care for visitors from Romania, Greece, North Macedonia, and further afield, providing interpreter services in English, Russian, and Turkish alongside Bulgarian. It maintains direct-billing arrangements with major international health insurers including Bupa Global and Cigna Global, and also works within Bulgaria's National Health Insurance Fund. Procedure costs are substantially lower than Western European counterparts for equivalent standards: a total hip replacement typically costs USD 6,000–9,000 compared to USD 18,000–28,000 in Germany. Telemedicine consultations are available for pre- and post-treatment follow-up. The hospital holds JCI accreditation and is recognised by the Bulgarian Ministry of Health as a center of excellence for cardiac surgery.
