How our medical information is created
Voumed's encyclopedia is built from the clinical information published by the hospitals in our curated network. Our editorial team consolidates and standardizes that information into one clear, neutral, institution-agnostic reference, written in plain language for international patients. Every medical page is then reviewed and approved by Dr. Mahir Turan, MD, before publication, and is revisited as our network and the underlying clinical information evolve.
Our medical review board
We are expanding our medical review with specialist physicians across the fields we cover. As named specialists join, their reviews and credentials will appear alongside Dr. Turan's on the relevant pages.
