Pediatrician

Dear Parents,

First of all, we congratulate the new parents on this joyful and exciting period.

During this happy and exciting time, the information you receive from your immediate surroundings and social media can cause confusion and sometimes irreversible harm.

In addition to up-to-date information in the follow-ups of our babies and children, there may be differences in our treatment and follow-up approaches based on age and clinical condition. Therefore, we recommend that you obtain the most accurate, up-to-date, and individual information about your baby or children from your healthcare providers.

Our hospital provides inpatient services, neonatal intensive care, and pediatric outpatient clinic services in the pediatric health and diseases department.

From the moment of birth, routine checks for the baby are started in the delivery room or operating room, and 24/7 health services are provided with our fully equipped 3rd Level neonatal intensive care unit when necessary.

In our outpatient clinics, routine checks for healthy newborns, developmental monitoring, nutrition, and vaccination follow-ups are performed. Additionally, Rotavirus and meningococcal vaccination programs are planned according to the baby's age.

Follow-ups for babies and children, routine checks, and outpatient services for diseases are also provided through the appointment system.

We wish healthy, happy, and long lives for our babies and children...

Pediatric Diseases
Our children are our future, our hope, and providing them with the best healthcare services is our primary responsibility. At Ata Health Hospital, we showcase our distinction by offering comprehensive healthcare services to children of all age groups, including newborns.

Our experienced specialists perform regular health check-ups for children and implement all necessary treatments in case of a diagnosis of a potential illness. We start preventive treatments as soon as we detect the risk of diseases, preventing more serious problems from occurring.

Childhood Diseases
Children are susceptible to different diseases from birth to adulthood. Their relatively weak immune systems and greater susceptibility to environmental changes create a suitable ground for diseases. Even seemingly minor health problems, if left untreated, can lead to serious complications and reduce the quality of children's lives.

The most common childhood diseases include cold, flu, otitis media, pneumonia, diarrhea, and conjunctivitis.

At Ata Health, we have the technological infrastructure and an experienced team of doctors to perform treatments for all potential diseases in children. We closely follow technological developments to ensure the highest efficiency in our treatment processes and pay attention to the advanced equipment of the devices used in treatments.

In addition to newborn incubator care, we shape all our outpatient services according to the needs of children and their families. If necessary, we offer inpatient treatment options, allowing us to provide emergency intervention in case of potential complications. By using all the resources of our hospital to improve the health of children, we can keep their vital values constantly under control.

We provide the highest quality service to children with ear, nose, and throat problems, allergies, digestive problems, neurological symptoms, or therapy needs.

We also perform surgical interventions for children aged 0-16 with our experienced specialists. We use all the conveniences provided by technology to ensure that our children's treatments are completed smoothly. We make our service policy, which we associate with beautifying and changing the lives of children, felt in all our units, from our neonatal care unit to our ENT clinic.
