About

Dr. Kemale Musayeva

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist · IVF and Embryology

An obstetrician and gynaecologist trained at Cerrahpaşa, caring for women at her Nişantaşı practice — from pregnancy and IVF to gynaecological and pelvic-floor health.

“Every reality begins with a dream.”

— From an interview, 2022

She graduated from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 1997 and completed her specialty training in the faculty's Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, with a thesis on women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

In the years that followed she worked on active birth and water birth, wrote about exercise in pregnancy and ran prenatal education programmes. She trained in robotic surgery (IRCAD, Strasbourg), advanced laparoscopy (Birmingham) and urogynaecology.

From 2014 she turned to assisted reproduction and in 2017 trained in embryology at the American Hospital in Istanbul. Today she sees patients at her private practice in Nişantaşı.

Approach

  1. I

    Science from the very first cell

    Adding embryology to her obstetric training came from wanting to see reproduction as one continuum — from the first cell in the lab to the birth itself.

  2. II

    Lifestyle is part of care

    She wrote her specialty thesis on polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition she has lived with herself. As a doctor and an athlete she gives nutrition, movement and stress management real weight in women's health.

  3. III

    The right birth for mother and baby

    Having worked on active birth and exercise in pregnancy, her aim is simple: whatever the mode of birth, a healthy baby in the mother's arms.
