“That is why, to ensure that Istanbulites of all ages, origins, beliefs and lifestyles, who are the most valuable assets of this city, receive service… This is exactly why we have prepared this facility because we take it as our duty to protect their health and make their lives happily possible here. We attach importance to the concept of 'popular municipality' in this sense. In other words, when we say 'popular municipality', we do not necessarily mean that it overlaps with the concept of 'popular municipality' through the Republican People's Party. We are talking about being a government that believes in the people, trusts the people, adopts social justice and democracy as a principle. Of course, in this concept of populist municipality, as a CHP mayor, we say, 'We are the most ambitious'; it is different. But this concept is important.
The aim of these hundreds of investments and services that we have made without wasting a single penny of our nation; To increase the quality of life of our people, with their women, children, old people and young people, in this cherished city. You live justly, benefit from public services equally; We are working hard so that we can distribute Istanbul's resources fairly to 16 million people. Prior to; We completed the Basilica Cistern Museum, which we opened to visitors after the most important restoration in its history, and we held its ceremony. Next; We put the Ahmet İsvan Halk Ekmek factory, one of the largest in Europe, with a daily capacity of 1,5 million breads, into the service of Istanbul residents. Yesterday, we won our Kartal-Maltepe waste water line and stream improvement project and held the ceremony of putting it into service.” shared information.
Emphasizing that all projects are designed to increase the quality of life of Istanbul residents, İmamoğlu said, “I care very much about home health services. I know that every district municipality is trying to provide this service in this sense. Indeed, such a huge city, a mega-city, unfortunately, is the presence of this warm hand that knocks on their door and meets them in areas that are unfortunately sometimes put in front of us by unhealthy urbanization, sometimes away from the friendly and neighborly feelings we are used to, and in these environments brought by poverty and sometimes demanded by our people in need. It is a very valuable work for the unity and solidarity of our nation. In this respect, the public effort to bring services and opportunities to our people is very important and valuable in terms of municipality. That's why I care about this service.
Our home health service units are currently operating in Edirnekapı, Küçükçekmece, Üsküdar, Kartal and Şile districts. By being here again, it will have gained an area that also serves Gaziosmanpaşa, Kağıthane, Sarıyer, Sultangazi, Şişli and Eyüpsultana. Undoubtedly, the health of our psychology and soul is as important as our body. Nowadays, in our country and in our city, especially the upsetting of the economic balances and especially the fight against unemployment, high cost of living and inflation, and especially the concepts of hope and despair in the researches, the feelings of many of our citizens about some injustices; actually contribute to mental health. Unfortunately, in this environment, we are working hard on the psychological needs of our citizens, who are more tense and more distressed than ever before, as an administration that accepts to be with its people in times of difficulty.”

Indeed, the presence of our citizens against many troubles and obstacles makes us very, very happy. Have no doubt; By adding our night to our day, we will be together in many openings, from our subways to funicular lines, from our energy production facilities to our investments in health, from very large parks to sports fields that will add great value to our city.
