Perinatology

The Perinatology department is a subspecialty of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department dealing with high-risk pregnancies.

Approximately 10% of pregnancies fall into the high-risk category due to a higher predisposition to adverse pregnancy outcomes. By anticipating risks from the moment of pregnancy detection and performing necessary interventions or treatments, it is possible to reduce the risk of negative outcomes. A comprehensive evaluation of the mother and fetus before planning pregnancy or during pregnancy is very important.

We will be happy to offer you all the possibilities of modern medicine on an evidence-based basis for any problem detected during your pregnancy.
