Contribution to Diabetes Awareness from Altınbaş University
Altınbaş University Faculty of Health Sciences organized an event to raise diabetes awareness among students and academics.
As part of Diabetes Week and World Diabetes Day, celebrated annually on November 14, the Turkish Ministry of Health, the General Directorate of Public Health, and the Ministry of National Education published various written materials, informative visuals, and videos to raise awareness about diabetes in society.
Altınbaş University Faculty of Health Sciences also organized an awareness event led by faculty members of the Nursing Department in line with its goals of improving public health on this important day.
During the event, informative documents about diabetes were shared, and students and participants had the opportunity to have their blood sugar measured free of charge. In addition, faculty members and students from the Nursing Department answered questions at consultation points, providing information about the symptoms of diabetes, ways to prevent it, healthy eating recommendations, and lifestyle changes.
Altınbaş University Faculty of Health Sciences will continue its awareness campaigns on chronic diseases such as diabetes in the coming periods as part of its approach that prioritizes public health.
