From the very beginning of life, the search for immortality has appeared in the oldest inscriptions. With the development of medicine and technology, the search for immortality has been replaced by the desire to attain a healthy and long life. Therefore, today’s advances in the field of health offer individuals a longer and healthier life, and life expectancy at birth rises further every year. As lifespans lengthen, the increase both in the population and in age-related chronic diseases expands the scope of health service delivery and increases the need for health workers in many fields. The protection, maintenance and improvement of individuals’ health, their care when they fall ill, and their subsequent rehabilitation can be achieved through the interdisciplinary work of health professionals.
Istanbul Topkapı University Faculty of Health Sciences, aiming to train professional groups in the field of health, has brought together the most distinctive fields, namely Nursing, Midwifery and Occupational Therapy.
Our priority goals are to educate our students—who play an active role in shaping the future of our country—as innovative members of the profession who can combine their professional skills with evidence-based practices; who have acquired problem-solving ability, professional values and ethical decision-making; and who possess the ability to work in an interdisciplinary manner.
As the Faculty of Health Sciences, while undertaking the task of training members of the profession, we also expect you, our students, to be conscious, professionally equipped, qualified, research-oriented health professionals with ethical values who are innovative and proactive throughout your lives.
We say welcome to all our students who have joined us.
