Health developments in Turkey cover migraine-related vertigo and digital medical services

Neurology specialist Dr. Nevin Çokpınar has noted that dizziness and loss of balance, often attributed to vertigo, may actually be caused by painless migraines, known as vestibular migraines. While vertigo can stem from ear diseases, neurological issues, or vascular blockages, patients experiencing persistent sensations of swaying or instability should seek neurological consultation if ear-nose-throat examinations yield no findings.

In the digital health sector, Allianz Türkiye has expanded its health services through the ‘Dr. Allianz’ solution. This service allows health insurance holders to access 24/7 online medical consultations and remote examinations via video call. Depending on the medical assessment and applicable regulations, doctors can provide diagnoses, issue e-prescriptions, and generate rest reports. This digital service is designed to assist individuals with busy schedules, elderly patients with limited mobility, and those living in areas with difficult hospital access.
