Ankara City Hospital Pathology is the first digital pathology model among all city hospitals in Turkey. A digital pathology project has been launched in Ankara City Hospital through the partnership between ViraSoft and the Ministry of Health. ViraSoft provides an integrated digital pathology system including image management system, quantitative analysis system, AI-based solutions, consultation system, and education system. Four academic studies are completed, and three academic studies have been continuing since the establishment of the digital pathology system in Ankara City Hospital.

Center of Excellence: Consultation Services Provided by ViraSoft
Ankara City Hospital aims to be the center of high-quality health services for international patients. To serve this purpose, ViraSoft has started contributing to health services with the consultation systems developed by the company.
Pathologists can analyse any specimen with the help of digital pathology technologies and provide consultation services to another pathologist in another hospital, city, or country.
National Pathology Database Project in Collaboration with the MoH
The partnership between ViraSoft and the Ministry of Health aims to archive pathology reports and images digitally in a nationwide network. It is intended for all pathologists in Turkey to access the cases in the National Pathology Database provided by ViraSoft. This database can serve as a source of rare cases and a guide for scientific research and pathology education.
