In older individuals, we try to reduce their pain more lightly and enable them to adopt a healthier lifestyle. We tried to find a solution by giving the necessary guidance about their complaints about their pain. For the purpose of early diagnosis of our elderly individuals, perhaps undiagnosed people, 'do they have diabetes or blood pressure diseases?' We performed simultaneous glucose and blood pressure measurements in order to follow up people with diseases or diseases.

We've never come across anything like this before. God bless Vahap Seçer. There was a lot of good stuff about health today. I am already sick, there is a disturbance in the vessels in my brain. I went to the psychologist, I will go there again. It was said that there will be a free treatment. So how could it be? I say for myself, 'dream'. It was something I hadn't even dreamed of. It happened. It gave us strength. I used to say 'If you don't have money, you're dead'. So even if you don't have money, God bless you, there is Vahap Seçer. He really offers everything to our feet.”
“The event has been healing for us”
Bayram Bulut, a member of the Retirement House, said, “It was a beneficial presentation for our health. Of course, there are some diseases and bodily malaises that are shown by old age.
