Bupa Turkey continues its support and investments in the region after the devastating February 6 earthquake. Having touched thousands of people in the region so far, Bupa Turkey aims to continue its efforts for the development and recovery of the region in the future.
Bupa Turkey, which has been supporting the region since the first day of the earthquake, did not forget the earthquake region in its second year. So far, Bupa has provided health services to more than 2 thousand people in its mobile health truck in Kahramanmaraş, and also met the basic nutrition needs of more than 10 thousand citizens in Malatya through its mobile kitchen truck.
Within the scope of the “Sustainable Living Project” realized with Habitat Association, an educational and supportive training area was established for children and their parents who were most affected by the earthquake, supporting the social development of both parents and children. Within the scope of the same project, Bupa Turkey planted 1,000 saplings in the Gaziantep region for “regeneration”, revitalization and greening.
oral and dental health check-up from senCard Dental
On the second anniversary of the earthquake, senCard Dental, Bupa Turkey’s brand in the field of oral and dental health, conducted oral and dental health checks for children in different container cities in Adıyaman. SenCard Dental, which was in the region with volunteer dentists, conducted oral and dental screenings for more than 500 children in order to protect their oral and dental health and raise awareness.
Believing that oral and dental health is one of the cornerstones of general health, senCard Dental aims to raise awareness about oral and dental health by continuing these screenings in Adıyaman and other regions throughout the year.
Health center for Adıyaman
Continuing its investments in the region since the first day of the earthquake and taking steps for the welfare of the people of the region, Bupa Turkey is signing another joint project with Adıyaman University. Aiming to both contribute to public health and add value to educational life, Bupa Turkey is establishing a new health center at Adıyaman University. The health center, which is under construction in the university area and spreads over an area of approximately 140 square meters, is designed to meet the health needs of students.
Stating that they continue their efforts to help people live longer, healthier and happier lives and to create a better world, Ebru Keskin Kulalar, Strategy and Transformation Group President of Bupa Turkey , said: “Since the first day of the earthquake, we have been continuing our efforts to respond to the needs in the region and to increase the welfare of our people. While we aim to spread the awareness of individual health, being healthy and staying healthy in the society, we also wish to contribute to the healthy sustainability of our country and our future. Our oral and dental health project in Adıyaman is a step that reinforces not only our responsibilities in the field of health, but also our contribution to social development. Our new health center, which we will soon launch with the same vision, also means a great deal to us. We will continue to support the region until all wounds are healed. We will continue our projects with the responsibility of providing long-term support to the earthquake region and leaving a better future for our children.”
