Gülhane Academy, which was attached to the Turkish army until 2016, has been a command training for the Turkish Armed Forces in the field of health sciences. Young medical officers and health technician petty officers graduated from here.[1] However, after the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt, it was affiliated to the Ministry of Health together with the health units with the decree having the force of law issued by the current government on 31 July 2016 and its name was changed to Gülhane Training and Research Hospital. Higher education units affiliated with GATA were transferred to the University of Health Sciences.[2]

After Bulgaria's alliance with Axis and the Axis invasion of Greece; when the government were discussing possibility of entering World War II, the government was decided to move the military schools and Gülhane from Istanbul to Ankara, and all the goods and personnel packed into a 28-wagons from Istanbul were transferred to Cebeci Central Hospital via Sirkeci, Istanbul.[3][failed verification]
