Medico Social

Hello, I'm Doctor Metin Sabuncu. I work as the branch manager in charge of health services in our Mediko-Social Center, which is affiliated to Yalova University Health, Culture and Sports Department. Our Mediko-Social Center is a unit providing health services for students, employees and their relatives, established in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Higher Education Council (YÖK). In addition, according to the latest guidelines, we, as Mediko-Social Center, work as an authorized Family Health Center, thanks to the Family Medicine license authorized by the Ministry of Health. Let me talk about the general framework we have, in two parts. The first is protection, i.e. prevention efforts, and secondly, control, treatment and follow-up services for people who have an illness. In addition, within the scope of prevention studies for the improvement of health, we also carry out training about issues that may affect and worsen health in the working life with all our employees in occupational health and safety. The second most requested services are for patient examinations. As you know, according to the laws of a Family Health Center and YÖK (Higher Education Council), we carry out the procedures within the institution of Mediko-Social Center. We carry out examinations for people who come to us with a medical condition. As a result of the examination, we evaluate the diagnosis of the disease by performing the examinations for the patient's complaint, plan the treatment of the patient, and provide them with a prescription. We also made a 3-bed section for bedridden patients, which could be needed for the students during the semester. Thanks to these rooms, we can take care of patients. So we're trying to solve these kinds of problems here so that our students won’t be required to go to hospitals. We provide endoscopic check-ups . With a simple ultrasound, we're able to respond to potentially urgent cases here. We have a respiratory function test. So there are tests where we track the progress of the treatment we provide to a person with asthma or a lung problem. Of course, we can perform some examinations such as ECG (electrocardiography). We can do 24-hour blood pressure follow-ups with Holter, which is recommended by the World Health Organization and is very, very important for monitoring. In addition, we are able to perform hemogram (blood count) tests in our laboratory and we can easily perform the examinations for diagnosis, and relative follow-ups, for the success of the treatment. In addition, we evaluate our patients by looking at approximately 30 parameters such as liver function, kidney function, heart function, fat lipid profile in biochemistry examinations. We also have a urine tester. With this, we also carry out our examinations on urinary tract infections that we encounter frequently. The examinations I mentioned and these techniques used are constantly being developed and as the management, we are working for our Mediko-Social Center for student health and employee health. In this respect, we always welcome our employees and students for consultation.
