IGU's moral support for children with leucemia

“We are trying to crown the hospital visits that we perform with the parties that we organize on special occasions. Children with Leucemia Week is also one of them” said Sinem Altındiş, Chairwoman of the IGU Lösev Club. She added: “Because of the week, we aimed to make all our children laugh, to forget their diseases and to have a pleasant time. Our primary objective is to minimize the traumas experienced by children in the hospital environment and to make the time they spend here pleasant. We hope that all our children will have their health as soon as possible”.

“MORALE INCREASES ADAPTATION TO TREATMENT”

Stating that hospital staff and physicians participated in the party, this kind of activities are very important to raise awareness in the community Specialist of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology of Medical Park Bahçelievler Hospital Prof.Dr. Tunç Fışgın said: “Children receive chemotherapy, go to and from the hospital, their morale is broken and their families are affected. These activities increase their morale. When we bring the children to the hospital to have fun, play games, and see the nurse, doctor and friends, they are increasing their compliance with the treatment. We strive to maximize this harmony”.

Congratulating the IGU Lösev Club for its work Fışgın added: “Being a university student is not just vocational learning and craft learning, but a complete perception of life. One of the most important skills to be learned at the university is to bring together the good people to touch people's lives and to strive for it. This is the difference of being a university student”.
