Young medical officers and health technician petty officers graduated from here.

Higher education units affiliated with GATA were transferred to the University of Health Sciences. Today the hospital is affiliated with the Gulhane Medical School.
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 in 1941, and all the goods and personnel packed into a 28-wagons from Istanbul were transferred to Cebeci Central Hospital via Sirkeci, Istanbul.
