Prof. Arif Aktuğ Ertekin: "Nurses are a very important role model in society"

Üsküdar University Faculty of Health Sciences Dean Prof. Arif Aktuğ Ertekin made the opening speech of the program. Ertekin stated that "Nurses are the most important pillar of teamwork in the field of health. If you look at the very beginning of the birth of the health profession, starting with midwifery, followed by a group of nurses and physicians. Nurses are a very important role model in society. They take a very strong stance and I believe that this will never be broken. Because its infrastructure, origin, and rules are very clear. In recent years, the understanding of education and the view of health have changed. Especially with the introduction of computers into our lives and the health sector, perhaps business concerns have started to emerge with the recent introduction of artificial intelligence in many areas. When used positively, it will be extremely smart and powerful transactions.”

Prof. Selma Doğan: "A very special profession that touches the birth and death of human beings"

Üsküdar University Faculty of Health Sciences Head of Nursing Department Prof. Selma Doğan made the opening speeches at the symposium. Doğan stated that "Every year, we started to make our voices heard a little stronger. We try to show this power more in our events. Today, the International Nurses Association, as the main representative of the associations of more than 140 countries, wants to identify themes from among the important issues that affect the health of societies at the global level every year and to process these themes. This year's theme is based on the economic power of nursing care with the slogan 'Nurses are Our Future'. Nurses are at the forefront of the most reliable professions. In fact, it is a very special profession that touches the birth and death of man. It is a profession that must be carried out with compassion. Nurses are combative. These developments have been made with great struggles since the past. Nursing will always get better with these efforts."
