Nursing Department’s Special Awareness Event for World Hypertension Day!

28 May 2025 Wednesday

The Nursing Department of Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Faculty of Health Sciences organized a meaningful awareness event on Büyükada as part of the World Hypertension Day on May 17. In this public health-focused initiative, a stand was set up where visitors to the island had their blood pressure measured and were informed about hypertension and circulatory system diseases.

Throughout the event, Nursing students, under the guidance of their faculty members, provided information about the causes, consequences, and prevention methods of hypertension, emphasizing once again the importance of healthy lifestyle habits. It was also highlighted that hypertension is directly linked to circulatory system diseases, which are among the leading causes of death worldwide.

They visited some of Büyükada’s most well-known cultural and historical sites, including Taş Mektep, Aya Yorgi Church, and the house of Reşat Nuri Güntekin, allowing participants to experience both history and nature closely.

Istanbul Gelisim University continues to stand out by strongly supporting projects aimed at public health alongside its academic activities. This event provided students with valuable practical field experience while also significantly contributing to raising health awareness in the community.
