'Complementary Medicine in Cancer' was discussed at the symposium organized by the Health Working Group, which continues its activities within the body of Bursa City Council. In the event organized in cooperation with Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, BTSO and Cancer Control Association, experts in their fields talked about complementary medicine 'through scientific data'.
The event held at Atatürk Congress and Culture Center; Bursa City Council President Şevket Orhan, Bursa Cancer Control Association President Ümit Ermiş, academics, health workers and citizens attended. Bursa City Council President Şevket Orhan, who spoke at the opening of the symposium, drew attention to the fact that the method used as a way out should be presented to the use of the citizens 'in the light of scientific data'. Emphasizing that scientists should not ignore the issue, Şevket Orhan said, “Our doctors should make this service, which we see as a transfer service in the market, scientific. People are pushing there to look for a cure. Of course, scientists have to show resistance against these places. If scientists are not worried about this, other segments will use the market as they wish. I believe that such meetings will continue to develop and a business that will benefit the public will emerge.”
Stating that Turkey has come a long way with health investments in the last 20 years, City Council Health Working Group Representative Prof. Dr. Sedat Demir said, “We have advanced universities and hospitals. We can easily convey the treatment opportunities brought by modern medicine to our people. This geography is a place that has reached advanced levels in the field of medicine. Very important physicians who "became an example to the world" have been trained in this geography. Although traditional medicine methods are forgotten as modern medicine develops, there has been a significant trend towards traditional medicine recently. Today, departments related to complementary medicine are established in universities in many countries of the world. There is serious work being done on these. Efforts are being made to bring traditional medicine methods 'based on evidence' to modern medicine. The aim of this symposium is to prevent integrative medicine from remaining in the fields of rent and non-physician. If we physicians take ownership of this job, tell the truth of the job, and work on basing it on scientific data, the job will be on the right footing," he said.
After the opening speeches, academicians who are experts in their fields explained the complementary medicine practices to the audience and shared scientific data.
