Abstrakt:	Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical structure, design, management, and organization of two emergency hospitals built in Istanbul within 45 days in the COVID-19 pandemic and the role played by these hospitals during the pandemic. A further aim was to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the emergency hospitals by comparing them with similar organizational models in other countries. Methods: The pandemic hospitals established for the COVID-19 pandemic in Istanbul were investigated in a multi-faceted manner. The parameters investigated were physical structure, bed, and intensive care capacity, mechanics and infrastructure, medical equipment, personnel, organizational structures and management, and the medical services provided by both emergency hospitals during the outbreak. Results: The pandemic hospitals were built on an open area of 125.000 m 2 as a hospital building of 75.150 m 2 . Each hospital has a total bed capacity of 1008, with 576 being clinical and 432 being intensive care beds. The management of the pandemic hospitals is connected to two different hospital management structures, which are experienced in disasters and have all kinds of training, research clinics and academic personnel in this regard. Conclusion: The healthcare services provided by both the pandemic hospitals fulfilled the purpose of those hospitals during the pandemic. As it is most likely that the world will face other serious disasters and epidemics in the future, the construction of multi-purpose and permanent emergency hospitals instead of emergency temporary hospitals would be more advantageous in terms of economy, medical service, and environment.
