Providing a healthy and safe education environment is vital for the success of education. Being aware of this, our university provides its health services by a physician, a nurse and two health officers in the 2-storey health centre located on the Marmara Education Village campus. In addition, when necessary, support is received from Maltepe University Faculty of Medicine Research and Training Hospital located in Maltepe centre.
Medical Centre
World Health Organization (WHO) defines health: as " Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” Our university, which takes universal values in every field, aims to carry out health services with an understanding that fits this universal definition. The basic approach of the health services we carry out in this context is to protect the person from diseases, to increase the health capacity and to provide a full primary health care service if a disease occurs despite of these, and to follow up the patients who are referred. Our work for this purpose can be grouped under 3 main headings.
A) Preventive Health Studies
1- Environmental Health:
- Periodic Examination: It is determined whether there is any obstacle to work in terms of health and hygiene by making recruitment and annual general health examinations of all personnel, especially kitchen, dining hall and canteen employees related to food. When such a situation occurs, they are dismissed until the treatment is completed. Operations related to examinations and treatments are processed Operations related to examinations and treatments are processed in the personal health files of the employees.
- Porter Examinations: The relevant personnel have lung films taken once a year and porter (carrier) examinations are performed.
- Our relevant employees are regularly trained on personal health information, food hygiene, and health information in mass nutrition systems, surface hygiene and ambient hygiene.
