At the same time, it aims at specialized surgeries such as kidney transplant surgery, stem cell transplant, diagnostic techniques, intervention and fetal surgery, spinal surgery, neurosurgery...

The Neonatal Center of Children's Hospital 1 was established 17 years ago and has become a specialized neonatal treatment center that meets the standards of level IV neonatal resuscitation (the highest level according to international standards) in the Southern region for many years.
