Altındağ Municipality continues to provide Altındağ citizens of all ages with free health services. In cooperation with Altındağ Municipality and Ankara Training and Research Hospital, a free eye screening program was launched for children in Altındağ. Within the scope of eye screening; Strabismus, amblyopia and eye misalignment tests were performed on children aged 6-7. After the scan, specialist physicians gave the necessary guidance and recommendations based on the results. Expressing their satisfaction with the free eye screening service, parents from Altındağ expressed their gratitude to Altındağ Municipality and Mayor Tiryaki. “EYE HEALTH SCREENING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE SCHOOLS OPEN” Stating that they pay great attention to the health of Altındağ citizens of all ages, Altındağ Mayor Dr. Veysel Tiryaki said, "As Altındağ Municipality, we have signed very important collaborations in the field of health throughout the year. We have brought important health services such as diabetes screening, eye health screening, cancer screening, geriatric screening to our citizens of Altındağ free of charge. Now, just before the opening of schools, we have introduced our children of Altındağ to free eye health screening." Emphasizing that eye diseases and eye disorders must be detected before starting school, Mayor Tiryaki said, "The school success of children with poor eye health and who cannot see well also decreases. The child cannot see well, and if he cannot see well, he cannot read well. I have been using glasses since a very young age. I know it can be difficult for children, but it should never be neglected. It is very important for children to have good eye health and see well in order for them to adapt to school and be successful..." “OUR EYE HEALTH SCREENINGS WILL CONTINUE” Mayor Tiryaki also said, "I would like to thank all our parents from Altındağ who showed interest in eye health screening and brought their children, Ankara Training and Research Hospital and our valuable physicians who cooperated with us." Mayor Tiryaki added that free eye screenings will continue in all Youth Centers and nurseries affiliated with Altındağ Municipality.
