With more than 15 years in medicine, his practice centers on newborn follow-up, routine healthy child monitoring, common childhood infections, and a range of everyday pediatric concerns that families bring to a general pediatric clinic. He consults in Turkish and English.

Dr. Baghırov graduated from Azerbaijan Medical University Faculty of Medicine in 2011. He then completed his specialty training in child health and diseases at Health Sciences University Tepecik Training and Research Hospital Department of Child Health and Diseases, finishing in 2020. From 2016 to 2020 he worked in the Tepecik Training and Research Hospital / Department of Child Health and Diseases, and in 2023 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Baghırov’s work concerns the first weeks and months of life. He carries out newborn follow-up, coordinates and interprets newborn screening tests, and manages neonatal jaundice treatment. He also evaluates infant colic and feeding-related discomfort, offering parents guidance on what is expected in a healthy newborn and when further assessment may be appropriate. As children grow, he continues to provide healthy child monitoring and broader child and adolescent health care, with attention to growth, development, and preventive measures.

For older infants, children, and adolescents, Dr. Baghırov assesses and treats febrile seizures, childhood infectious diseases, and upper respiratory tract infections in children, including cough and upper respiratory symptoms as well as skin rashes. He evaluates iron deficiency and anemia in children, constipation in children, and childhood urinary incontinence. In each case the aim is an age-appropriate pediatric assessment, a clear explanation of the likely diagnosis, and a treatment plan that families can follow at home, with follow-up arranged where it is clinically indicated.

How Dr. Baghırov works with international patients

Dr. Baghırov consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory results, ultrasound or X-ray reports, newborn screening records, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of existing investigations and any previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options with the parents. Families can expect clear communication regarding diagnosis, treatment, newborn screening follow-up, and preventive child health care. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be suitable for an initial discussion of a child’s records or for follow-up after a hospital visit, while any decision on treatment is made after an appropriate clinical assessment.
