What to Bring

Identification Documents

Make sure to bring valid identification to verify your identity and complete registration:

• For Turkish citizens: National ID (T.C. Kimlik Kartı)
• For international patients: Passport (with valid visa, if required)
• A copy of your passport is also recommended in case it’s needed for insurance or billing purposes

Health Insurance Documents

If you’re using health insurance:

• Bring your insurance card or certificate
• Any authorization letter, treatment guarantee, or claim form issued by your insurance company
• Contact information of your insurance representative in case the hospital needs to confirm coverage

Note: If you’re unsure about insurance coverage, our patient coordinators can assist you before your appointment.

Medical Records and Test Results

To avoid duplicate testing and help your doctor fully understand your medical history, bring:

• Recent blood tests, imaging results (MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound)
• Specialist reports or surgical history from other hospitals
• Medication prescriptions
• Allergy test results
• Vaccination records (especially for children, international travelers, or surgery patients)

If your records are in a different language, having a translated summary in English or Turkish is helpful but not mandatory.

Medications

• Bring a list of all medications you currently take, including:
  • Dosage and frequency
  • Brand or generic name
  • Herbal or over-the-counter supplements
• If you’re staying overnight, bring your own medications in original packaging

Important: Let your doctor know if you take blood thinners, insulin, heart medications, or anything that may affect your procedure.

For Surgical or Overnight Patients

If you’re scheduled for surgery or an inpatient stay, pack:

• Comfortable sleepwear and a change of clothes
• Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, towel, hairbrush, etc.)
• Slippers or indoor shoes
• Phone charger and necessary personal devices
• Glasses or contact lens supplies (if used)
• Any mobility aids (cane, walker, etc.) if needed

The hospital will provide bedding, hospital gowns, and meals.

For Pediatric Patients

If you’re accompanying a child:

• Bring the child’s ID/passport and health records
• Their favorite toy, blanket, or book for comfort
• Diapers, baby bottles, or formula (if applicable)
• Legal documents for guardian consent if the parent is not present

Items You Should Not Bring

To maintain safety and prevent loss:

• Do not bring valuables such as large sums of cash, expensive jewelry, or luxury electronics
• Avoid wearing metal items or accessories on the day of imaging or surgery
• No flammable, sharp, or hazardous items allowed inside hospital rooms

The hospital is not responsible for lost or stolen belongings.
