Distance Health Service Era Begins at DEU

Dokuz Eylül University (DEU) Research and Application Hospital, one of Turkey's important brands in health sciences, is preparing to add a new one to its pioneering practices in the field of health. Thanks to the remote health service application that will be implemented soon, DEU Research and Application Hospital, which will provide treatment to patients by providing video conferencing with doctors, will achieve a first in Izmir and the Aegean Region, as well as deliver health services to Turkey and countries around the world.

WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON

Rector of Dokuz Eylül University Prof. Dr. Nükhet Hotar announced that the application, which will be provided to patients in a wide range of activities at DEU Hospital, which is deemed to comply with the 'Remote Health Service Delivery' conditions of the Ministry of Health, will be put into service very soon. Stating that they will provide health services to all Turkey and the world within the scope of the application, Rector Hotar said, “Our Research and Application Hospital, which continues to implement pioneering practices and investments in health, has made another important development. Thanks to our remote health service application, which will be a first in Izmir and our region, patients from all over our country and the world will be able to reach our hospital. Our doctors, who will meet with patients, will instantly convey information about their health problems to those seeking healing. Thanks to the system that will be implemented by appointment, our specialists will meet with patients face to face and, when deemed necessary, will invite patients to our hospital and continue the relevant examination there. "Our system will also provide an alternative solution to the problem of not being able to find an appointment at our Hospital, which is a large health institution that caters to the region, due to density," he said.

“WE HAVE MADE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR REPUBLIC”

Rector Hotar, who announced that the necessary permissions were provided to DEU Research and Application Hospital by the Izmir Provincial Health Directorate with the approval of the Ministry of Health regarding DEU's new service, said: “We have been continuing our infrastructure work for our system, in which we will start accepting patients online, for a while. We have made another important development in this field with our system supported by modern medical technology, which we have prepared for the 100th anniversary of our Republic and which we anticipate will make positive contributions to our citizens by ensuring patient and physician communication. Thanks to our system, we will make a significant contribution to our elderly citizens, especially those who have difficulties in reaching our hospital. We will continue to support scientific research and investments in the field of health in the coming period. I would like to thank all our members who contributed to bringing this investment to our University and Hospital. "We hope that the application will be beneficial to all our citizens and the people of the world," he said.

HEALTH SERVICE FROM LOCAL TO UNIVERSAL

Stating that the online system that will bring together DEU's specialist doctors with patients will be put into service very soon, DEU Research and Application Hospital Chief Physician Assoc. Dr. Sefa Kurt said, “Our new system has a vision worthy of our Research University and will produce valuable studies and treatments. We have come to an end with the infrastructure works in our system, which we are extremely happy to have completed in time for the 100th anniversary of our Republic. Our system, which can be used by our follow-up patients as well as those who apply to our hospital for the first time, is unique in Izmir and the Aegean Region. We talked about the system to all units and departments within our hospital; We will make announcements on this issue again. Our system, which we think will provide a great expansion to our DEU Research and Application Hospital, not only in our region and Turkey; It will appeal to patients with international healthcare needs. In this sense, we will also support the internationalization mission of our University with this application that attracts attention as a health service from local to universal. “Our hospital will continue to offer solutions to local and global health problems with its competent human resources.”
