Dohuk, Iraq

The Acıbadem Health Point office in Dohuk, Iraq is the representative office in Iraq of Acıbadem, the healthcare group based in Türkiye. It is the first point of contact for people living in Dohuk and elsewhere in Iraq who are considering treatment in Türkiye, whether for themselves or for a family member. The office answers questions, collects medical records so that a physician in Türkiye can review them, passes on the treatment plan and cost estimate, and organises the journey to the hospital. First consultations and second opinions are free and carry no obligation.

Acıbadem Health Point is the international patient service of the group, which operates 45+ hospitals and clinics, including JCI-accredited hospitals, and receives patients from 90+ countries with 24/7 multilingual coordination. The Dohuk office is the local part of that structure: you can speak to it near home, in person or by telephone, before any decision about travelling is made.

The office does not give medical advice and does not decide on treatment. Treatment decisions are made with the treating physician in Türkiye after your records have been reviewed. If you or the patient has urgent or worsening symptoms, contact your local emergency services first.

What the Dohuk office helps with

• Medical records and second opinion. The office explains which reports, images and test results are needed, collects them and sends them to the relevant physician in Türkiye for review.
• Treatment plan and cost estimate. After the physician has reviewed the file, the office shares the proposed plan and the accompanying cost estimate with you in writing.
• Appointment scheduling. Once you decide to proceed, the office arranges the hospital appointment and the dates with the department concerned.
• Travel and accommodation guidance. The office helps you plan the trip and explains the accommodation options the hospital’s international patient team can guide you towards.
• Airport transfer and interpreter coordination. Airport transfer and interpreter support during hospital visits are coordinated through the hospital’s international patient team in Türkiye.
• Visa and travel requirements. Because these change, the office confirms the current requirements with you before departure.
• Follow-up after you return. Follow-up once you are home again is arranged through the office together with the treating physician.

How do patients from Iraq plan treatment in Türkiye?

1. Get in touch. Call, send an e-mail or visit the office in Dohuk and describe the medical situation and the question you want answered.
2. Send the records. The office lists the documents that are needed — reports, imaging, laboratory and pathology results — and collects them from you.
3. Physician review. A physician in Türkiye reviews the file and prepares a treatment plan. This first review and second opinion are free.
4. Plan and cost estimate. The office explains the plan and the cost estimate, and answers your questions about what the hospital stay would involve.
5. Appointment and travel. If you decide to go ahead, the office books the appointment, confirms the current visa and travel requirements, and coordinates transfer, interpreter support and accommodation guidance with the hospital’s international patient team.
6. Return and follow-up. After you return to Iraq, the office keeps the link between you and the treating physician for any further review.

Hospitals and specialties patients from Iraq ask about

Which hospital is proposed depends on the diagnosis and on the physician’s review, not on a preference chosen in advance. The hospitals patients from Iraq most often ask the Dohuk office about include:

• Acibadem Altunizade Hospital, İstanbul — JCI-accredited
• Acibadem Atakent Hospital, İstanbul — JCI-accredited
• Acibadem Maslak Hospital, İstanbul — JCI-accredited
• Acibadem Ankara Hospital, Ankara
• Acibadem Adana Orthopedia Hospital, Adana

The consultation handled through the office covers these specialties: oncology, cardiology, organ transplantation, robotic surgery, orthopaedics, neurosurgery, plastic surgery and check-up. The office can explain what a department offers and how an admission is organised, but it cannot say what the result of any treatment will be. That discussion belongs to the treating physician, after the records have been read.

Travel, language and practical support

Visa and travel requirements change, so the office confirms the current requirements with you before departure and prepares the hospital documentation you may need. Nothing about the trip is booked until you have seen the treatment plan and the cost estimate and have decided to proceed.

In Türkiye, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates airport transfer, interpreter support during hospital visits and accommodation guidance. The Dohuk office stays in contact with that team, and with the group’s 24/7 multilingual coordination, so that questions raised in Dohuk and questions raised at the hospital reach the same file.

After discharge and the journey home, follow-up is arranged through the office and the treating physician. You can send new reports or images from Iraq and ask for them to be passed on for review.
