Public Health Week activities in Turkey

Overview

During early September 2026, various regions in Turkey conducted activities for Public Health Week to promote preventive healthcare and healthy living.

In the Havza District, the Health Directorate held an event at Kevser Square focusing on early diagnosis, nutritional counseling, and cancer screening. Dr. Merve Doğan Uygun, the Havza District Health Director, noted that public health is maintained by “taking necessary precautions before illnesses emerge.”

Similar initiatives took place in Kahramanmaraş and Kayseri. In Kahramanmaraş, a collaboration between the Metropolitan Municipality, Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, and the Provincial Health Directorate provided screenings for blood sugar and body mass index, while also honoring physicians for smoking cessation support. In Kayseri, the Provincial Health Directorate organized programs under the theme “Public Health Every Day,” focusing on maternal and child health, vaccinations, and chronic condition management.
