1.5 Tesla MRI Department
The structure of this department complies with the latest international standards. With sterile air supply systems and the use of natural lighting, a suitable and comfortable environment has been provided for patients.
The ICU department is equipped with advanced medical equipment and central monitoring systems and is ready to admit and provide services to critically ill and unstable patients 24 hours a day. The experienced and compassionate staff of this department regularly receive necessary training through internal hospital conferences, external training programs, and public medical conferences.
Patient admission is performed in coordination with the department supervisor (on-call specialists) through the Emergency Department, physician referrals, or transfers from other hospital departments.
One of the outstanding features of this department is the continuous presence of specialist physicians who are responsible for supervising the medical and care processes of ICU patients, assessing the condition of critically ill patients in other departments, and making decisions regarding their transfer to intensive care.
