The devastating effects of February 6th, 2023 earthquakes have been documented for many types of
building systems located in the disaster region. Another important aspect of the region is that there are several
seismic base-isolated hospital buildings that were constructed or is under construction. In this study, the
performance evaluation of the base-isolated hospital buildings is discussed based on the data gathered from a
field study conducted after the earthquakes. Several conclusions regarding the seismic performance of the
isolator devices and behaviour of the isolated superstructure are made from these observations.
