Overview and Definition
When a child is ill, the entire family is affected. The anxiety, the sleepless nights, and the desperate search for the right answers can be overwhelming. As parents, you want the absolute best medical expertise, but you also want a team that treats your child with profound compassion, patience, and understanding.
At Liv Hospital, we operate on a fundamental medical principle: Children are not miniature adults. Their bodies respond differently to illness, their developing organs require precise, specialized dosages, and their minds process the hospital environment entirely differently than we do.
Because of this, our Department of Pediatrics is designed as a comprehensive, “hospital within a hospital.” We are recognized as a premier pediatric hospital in Turkey, drawing families from the Middle East, the Balkans, Central Asia, and beyond. We combine the world’s most advanced medical technologies with a deeply human, Child-Friendly Ecosystem. Whether your family is welcoming a premature newborn who requires our Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or seeking a multidisciplinary council for a complex congenital heart defect, Liv Hospital provides a safe, technologically advanced, and emotionally supportive haven for your child’s healing.
General pediatrics involves routine care—vaccinations, growth tracking, and treating common childhood infections like strep throat or earaches. While we excel at foundational health, Liv Hospital’s true strength lies in Pediatric Subspecialties.
Specialized pediatrics handles the rare, the complex, and the chronic. It involves intricate surgical interventions on tiny organs, managing lifelong genetic conditions, and utilizing highly advanced diagnostic tools calibrated specifically for pediatric physiology. When a general pediatrician encounters a condition that requires advanced intervention, they refer the patient to a subspecialist. At Liv Hospital, we have all these subspecialists under one roof, allowing them to collaborate instantly.
Medical excellence is only half the equation. The other half is the environment. A hospital can be a frightening place for a child, filled with strange noises, bright lights, and unfamiliar faces. We actively work to eliminate this fear.
No single doctor can be an expert in every organ of a child’s body. Our multidisciplinary model ensures your child sees the specific expert they need.
Congenital heart defects (heart problems present at birth) require extraordinary precision.
Our Expertise: We perform complex open-heart surgeries, valve repairs, and minimally invasive catheterizations (fixing heart holes without opening the chest) for infants and toddlers. We utilize 3D echocardiography to map the heart before making a single incision.
The developing brain requires delicate handling.
Fighting childhood cancer is our most solemn duty.
When surgery is unavoidable, our goal is to leave the smallest possible footprint.
The birth of a premature or critically ill baby is a profound crisis. Liv Hospital features a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), equipped to handle the most fragile infants, including micro-preemies born as early as 23 weeks.
Traveling across borders with a sick child is a daunting logistical and emotional challenge. We have designed an international patient journey that removes the stress of travel so you can focus entirely on your child.

A Level 3 NICU is the highest standard of neonatal care recognized internationally. It means the hospital is equipped and staffed to care for babies born at any gestational age (including extreme micro-preemies) and any birth weight, and can perform advanced neonatal surgeries and sustained life support.
At Liv Hospital, our Pediatrics department generally cares for patients from the moment of birth (Day 0) up until their 18th birthday. For certain chronic congenital conditions that began in childhood, our pediatric specialists may continue to coordinate care as the patient transitions into young adulthood.
Absolutely. We encourage it. Through our International Patient Center, you can upload your child’s current medical reports, X-rays, and MRI scans to our secure portal. Our pediatric subspecialists will review the file and arrange a video consultation with you to discuss whether our treatments offer a better outcome.
Minimizing pain and anxiety is a core philosophy here. We use child life specialists to prepare children psychologically. Medically, we use numbing creams for IV insertions, “laughing gas” (nitrous oxide) for minor procedures, and safe, pediatric-administered sedation for longer scans like MRIs, ensuring your child remains comfortable and still.
Yes. We strongly believe in family-centered care. Every pediatric inpatient room at Liv Hospital is private and designed with comfortable sleeper sofas or adjoining spaces so that at least one parent can comfortably stay overnight with their child at all times.
