Surp Agop Hospital (Turkish: Surp Agop Hastanesi) or Saint Jacob Armenian Hospital is a hospital in the Elmadağ neighborhood of Şişli district of Istanbul which was established in 1837 and continues to be operated by the Armenian Catholic community of Turkey.[1][2] The hospital also owned all rights of the Pangaltı Armenian Cemetery which was destroyed in the 1930s.[3][4][5][6][7]

The hospital was widely noted before and after the World War I for its work. 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 the 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]
