Using the names of the districts of the time it was known as "The hospital Sourp-Agop of Pancaldi above Pera."[8][9][10][11][12] Armenian fundraising for the hospital continued after World War II.[13] Today it is a private hospital which caters also to the Turkish Social Security Agency (Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu - SGK) continuing to serve the public in Istanbul.[1]
