Detailed Paediatric Check-Up in Turkey
A comprehensive health screening for children, extended blood panels, allergy testing, growth assessment, and specialist paediatrician review. All completed in one day from £367.
When your child needs more than the basics, this detailed check-up provides a thorough, comprehensive assessment. It expands on the standard paediatric screening with additional blood panels, allergy testing, and more in-depth specialist review, giving you a complete picture of your child's health.
Whether you have specific concerns about allergies, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal development, or simply want the most thorough screening available, this package covers it. Everything is completed in a single day at a government-licensed hospital by a team experienced in paediatric care.
A private paediatric assessment of this scope in the UK would typically cost between £600 and £1,200. Your package starts from just £370. Many parents book this alongside their own treatment in Turkey, making the most of the trip for the whole family.
What Is Paediatric Detailed Check-Up?
This is an enhanced paediatric health screening that goes beyond the essential tests to provide a more comprehensive assessment of your child's health, development, and any specific concerns.
Your child's detailed check-up typically includes:
- Complete blood count (CBC) with differential
- Extended blood chemistry panel
- Iron studies and ferritin (comprehensive anaemia screening)
- Vitamin and mineral panel (D, B12, folate, calcium, zinc, magnesium)
- Thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4)
- Allergy screening panel (IgE levels and common allergens)
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Blood glucose
- Urinalysis
- Growth assessment (height, weight, BMI percentile, growth trajectory)
- Physical examination
- Detailed paediatrician consultation with comprehensive report
The paediatrician reviews all findings with you in detail, addresses any concerns, and provides written recommendations in English.
Am I Suitable?
This detailed check-up is suitable for children of all ages who would benefit from a comprehensive health assessment.
This check-up is particularly valuable if:
- You suspect food allergies or intolerances
- Your child has recurrent infections, fatigue, or unexplained symptoms
- You want to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies comprehensively
- You have concerns about growth, development, or hormonal balance
- Your child has a family history of allergies, autoimmune conditions, or metabolic disorders
- You want the most thorough paediatric screening available
The standard Paediatric Check-Up may be sufficient if:
- You simply want a basic health overview and essential blood work
- You have no specific concerns and want a general baseline
What Happens During the Procedure?
The detailed check-up follows the same child-friendly approach as the standard package, with additional tests and a more in-depth consultation.
Before you arrive
You complete a detailed questionnaire about your child's medical history, symptoms, dietary habits, suspected allergies, and family health history. This allows the paediatrician to focus the assessment on areas most relevant to your child.
On the day
You and your child are collected from your hotel. Your personal translator accompanies you. The paediatric team uses age-appropriate techniques and numbing cream to make the blood draw as comfortable as possible.
The check-up includes the extended blood draw, physical examination, growth measurements, and any additional assessments the paediatrician considers relevant based on your questionnaire answers.
Results and consultation
Most results are available within a few hours. Some allergy panel results may take 24-48 hours. The paediatrician reviews all available results with you in detail, explaining what each finding means and providing specific, actionable recommendations.
After the check-up
You receive a comprehensive written report in English to share with your child's GP or paediatrician at home. If allergy results are pending, they are sent to you electronically as soon as they are ready.
Recovery & Aftercare
No recovery is needed. All tests are non-invasive or minimally invasive.
On the day:
- The blood draw may require a slightly larger sample than the standard check-up, but it is still a single draw in most cases
- A small bruise at the blood draw site is common
- Your child can return to normal activities immediately
No restrictions on activity or diet after the check-up.
Risks & Considerations
Paediatric health screenings carry virtually no risk.
Minor considerations:
- Brief distress during blood draw (managed with numbing cream and experienced staff)
- Small bruise at the blood draw site
- Allergy screening results should be interpreted by a specialist, our paediatrician explains all findings in context
Important to know:
- Allergy panel results can occasionally produce false positives. An elevated IgE to a specific allergen does not always mean a clinical allergy. Your paediatrician will explain the significance of each result and recommend follow-up testing or dietary trials if needed.
All tests are conducted by qualified paediatric staff in a government-licensed hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions
The allergy panel measures IgE antibody levels for common allergens, which may include cow's milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, dust mites, pet dander, grass pollen, and mould. The specific panel can be adjusted based on your child's symptoms and suspected triggers. Results show the level of IgE response to each allergen, helping to identify potential sensitivities. Your paediatrician will interpret the results in the context of your child's symptoms and dietary history.
NHS allergy testing typically involves a referral to an allergy clinic, which can take months, followed by skin prick tests for a limited number of allergens. This package includes a comprehensive blood-based allergy panel covering a broader range of allergens, combined with a detailed paediatrician consultation, all completed in a single day. Blood-based testing is also easier for young children who may struggle with skin prick tests.
It can provide valuable information. The detailed blood work checks for vitamin and mineral deficiencies that are common in fussy eaters, iron, zinc, B12, vitamin D, and others. Allergy screening can also identify whether certain foods are causing physical reactions that may be contributing to food avoidance. Your paediatrician will discuss the findings and provide dietary recommendations or suggest referrals if needed.
Yes. Both parents or guardians are welcome to attend the consultation. Having both of you present means you can both hear the results directly, ask questions, and discuss recommendations together. Your personal translator ensures clear communication throughout, regardless of how many family members are present.
For older children, fasting for 8-10 hours is recommended for accurate blood glucose and lipid results. For younger children, the fasting requirements are adjusted based on age, our team will advise when you book. Water is always permitted. Morning appointments mean the fasting period falls overnight, which is usually manageable. If your child finds fasting difficult, please let us know and we will schedule accordingly.
