Clinical focus

Dr. Allahverdıyeva’s work centers on inpatient care, with a particular emphasis on pediatrics and child health and diseases. Her earlier roles in pediatric intensive care ambulance services and emergency medicine inform her approach to hospitalized patients whose condition may change quickly and who require close observation. In an inpatient setting, this typically involves monitoring the patient’s clinical course, reviewing laboratory and imaging findings as they become available, adjusting supportive treatment as needed and coordinating with the other specialties involved in the patient’s care.

Neonatology is a further area of her expertise, reflected in her membership of the Türk Neonatoloji Association. Her experience in emergency medicine and pediatric intensive care also supports her role in recognizing and responding to acute deterioration in children admitted to hospital. As with any inpatient care, the specific approach depends on the individual patient’s diagnosis, age and overall condition, and is decided together with the treating team.

How Dr. Allahverdıyeva works with international patients

Dr. Allahverdıyeva speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients and families who speak other languages. Before a hospital visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the practical aspects of the visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling or to follow up after a hospital stay.
