Universities
The current university and official district sources audited did not verify a large conventional university campus inside Sultanbeyli, so this guide does not invent one. Access to universities along the Ümraniye–Üsküdar/Asian-side corridor improved after M5 reached Sultanbeyli, but university choice should be evaluated by program and actual commute.
Hospitals
Sultanbeyli State Hospital operates as a principal public hospital in the district. Its current Ministry of Health site lists a broad clinical structure including emergency medicine, anesthesia, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, pediatrics and other specialties.
