Pendik Bolge Hospital International (Private Pendik Bolge Hospital) Эргометрия

Pendik Bolge Hospital International is a private medical facility in Istanbul's Pendik district. Established in 2010, the hospital operates as a multi-specialty center with 17 departments in a single building. The facility has 160 beds and treats up to 1,400 patients daily.

Accreditations and Standards

The hospital holds Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. It has received this certification four times, showing long-term commitment to global safety standards. The Turkish Ministry of Health also granted the facility the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate.

Physiotherapy and Spinal Care

The Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation department uses robotic rehabilitation and a specialized therapy pool. Specialists treat movement disorders from injury or illness, including multiple sclerosis. The clinic offers Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) for spinal cord injuries.

This EES treatment combines neurosurgery with intensive rehabilitation. Surgeons implant an electrode array that delivers programmed electrical impulses to the lower spinal cord. This activates motor networks, so patients can regain voluntary movement below the injury level.

The department also manages a wide range of chronic conditions:

• Scoliosis and posture disorders
• Herniated disks and slipped disks
• Spinal pain in the neck, back, and lower back
• Shoulder osteoarthritis and joint pain

Patients receive individual programs planned by specialist physicians and applied by trained physiotherapists. The hospital also has dedicated centers for cardiac and athlete rehabilitation.

Neurosurgery and Neurology

The neurosurgery unit treats nervous system disorders in adults and children. Surgeons remove tumors from the brain, pituitary gland, or spinal cord. These procedures address tumors that cause secondary issues such as epilepsy.

Neurology specialists manage Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Prof. Dr. Ufuk Utku leads care for these conditions. He trained at Ankara University and Hacettepe University. The department uses MR imaging to diagnose complex spine and brain problems.

Specialized Medical Services

The Mouth and Dental Health unit provides smile design and restorative care. Dentists install porcelain and zirconia crowns or bridges to restore tooth function. For aesthetic cases, the clinic offers Hollywood Smile packages using high-tech porcelain veneers. Plans are created after reviewing intraoral photographs and panoramic X-rays.

The Cardiology and Radiology departments perform coronary angiography and stenting. These procedures use DSA X-ray devices to visualize vessels without general anesthesia. Patients typically need six hours of hospitalization and 12–24 hours of bed rest after angiography.

Pediatric care serves patients from birth to 18 years old. The facility includes an 18-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for Level 3 admissions. A 24-hour Pediatric Emergency Polyclinic handles urgent childhood conditions.

Diagnostic Technology

The hospital has a full suite of imaging and diagnostic tools for treatment planning:

• Whole-body MRI and targeted MRI of specific areas
• Doppler sonography for vessel scanning
• EEG, EMG, and Polysomnography for sleep studies
• Endo-ultrasound and urodynamics
• Gastroscopy and colonoscopy with biopsy

Clinical planning starts with general and pre-operative health checks to confirm patient safety.

International Patient Coordination

Pendik Bolge Hospital has a structured pathway for patients traveling from abroad. The coordination team reviews medical reports and typically responds within 24 hours. Health counselors meet patients at the airport to help with arrival.

The hospital provides free transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic. Support is available 24/7 in English, Spanish, Russian, Georgian, French, Italian, and Saudi Arabic. The team also helps arrange hotel accommodation when requested.
