Child health in the first 100 years of Republic of Türkiye: a story of hope, labor and success
2024
Overview
The Republic of Türkiye commemorated its 100th year in 2023. Within one century, a battle weary, poor country has changed into a powerful, game changing leader in the world. This was accomplished by the motivation and overwork of the Turkish nation and a great leader, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The status of child health in 1923 can be summarized as high infant and under-five mortality rates, epidemic diseases and hardly any healthcare facilities and health-care professionals. Since a healthy, well educated workforce was one of the main requirements for the development of the young republic, child health was given a great emphasis. With the efforts of the whole nation, many children’s hospitals were established, infant mortality decreased, and malaria, neonatal tetanus, polio and diphtheria were eradicated. In this article, the progression of child health in the first 100 years of the Republic of Türkiye will be reviewed.
