Public Health Week activities held in Kahramanmaraş and Kayseri
Public Health Week activities were held across Turkey, with notable events in Kahramanmaraş and Kayseri between September 3 and 9.
In Kahramanmaraş, the Metropolitan Municipality, Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University (KSÜ), and the Provincial Health Directorate collaborated to host awareness and screening programs at the KSÜ Faculty of Medicine. The initiative provided citizens with information on preventive measures, healthy living, and the importance of early diagnosis. Health screenings included measurements of height, weight, body mass index, blood sugar, and carbon monoxide levels. Additionally, five physicians were honored with plaques for their significant contributions to smoking cessation support.
In Kayseri, the Provincial Health Directorate organized events at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Millet Bahçesi under the theme “Public Health Every Day.” The program focused on several key areas, including maternal and child health, vaccination awareness, and managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Health officials conducted blood pressure, blood sugar, and body measurements, referring individuals in high-risk categories to family physicians or Healthy Life Centers for further care.
