Our name, formerly the “Housekeeping Coordination Office,” was changed to the “Housekeeping Directorate” in November 2012, when the tenured support staff group of the Adult Hospital was also attached to our Coordination Office so that uninterrupted service planning could be run from a single point.
With the start of purchasing cleaning services within Hacettepe University Hospitals in 2000, a Housekeeping Unit was established for the first time in Türkiye within an institution to audit and supervise the Contractor Company. With its success in practice, the Hacettepe Housekeeping Unit has over time set an example for other institutions and contributed to the establishment of similar units in many institutions across Türkiye. It continues to manage the assignment and administration of staff who moved to permanent worker status by the relevant decree-law on 1 April 2018.
Today the Housekeeping Directorate continues to manage a total staff group of 1034 people in all our Hospitals: 342 cleaning staff, 418 support staff, 121 tenured staff, 121 food service staff and 32 administrative staff.
