Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Head of Public Health Department and Ministry of Health Social Sciences Board member Prof. Dr. Mustafa Necmi İlhanIn a statement to DHA coronavirus Since the beginning of the epidemic process of cases in health workers in Turkey and said it was much less of the death of his labor. Ilhan, “even so much of death in Turkey need to connect the less direct health care workers and health care system. Health workers if necessary, making up to 36 hours duty, 12 hours standing at home, working 36 hours to come back. All of our friends, nurse colleagues, janitors, There are people with permanent mask marks on their faces. We have many friends infected during this process. We have nearly 30 doctors who lost their lives and many more healthcare workers. “Employees know how the coronavirus is transmitted, they are trying to protect themselves, but all of them are infected during the services they provide in the hospital. All healthcare professionals work wholeheartedly,” he said.

Professor Dr. İlhan stated that the photographs of the citizens taken in Istanbul on the 3rd day of Eid al-Adha in the news of DHA and who ran to the island ferry from the Kabataş pier violating the social distance rule broke the health workers, “Sometimes they are very broken while seeing the images. There was a very negative photo on the weekend.”Run to the ferry‘photographed. It was featured in the media, you gave it. When we talk about this photo, believe me, all of our friends are heartbroken. My professor, they say, ‘We are working so hard, we work devotedly’. Think about the clothes in which healthcare workers are currently working. They wear very thin clothes in them, they dress in layers. They cover their heads with double masks, goggles on their faces, they really work under very difficult conditions. There is a lot of burden on them. You just say ‘we reduced the cases’, we passed the 1000s again. The environment of uncertainty affects healthcare professionals more than anyone else. Healthcare professionals are also considering the service to be provided for patients in other areas. There is coronavirus today; but we also have other patients. Naturally, we are afraid that our patients who come to get service in other areas are infected with coronovirus. Some of the healthcare professionals saw their families during the feast, some could not. There are healthcare professionals who pass their children and families without seeing them. There are healthcare workers who spend the holiday in bed, there are those who lost their lives. For this, our citizens need to support healthcare professionals. Actually, the job is very simple; physical distance, masks and hygiene rules. If our citizens comply with this, we would be grateful to them, we applaud them, “he said.
