PROF. YİĞİTBAŞI: I WOULD GO TO THE OTHER END OF THE WORLD WITH YOU
In his opening speech, Chairman of the Board of Trustees Prof. Gazi Yiğitbaşı said that the quality of nursing education in Türkiye and specifically in Medipol is far ahead of the world. Stating that he has worked with nurses for nearly 20 years, Yiğitbaşı expressed his trust in nurses, saying “I would go to the other end of the world with you.” Drawing attention to the importance of communication in the nursing profession, Yiğitbaşı added: “Our education mechanism in nursing service is gradually improving its quality. We have great experience in this regard. We train very good nurses in our country. Let them come and ask us how to train the best quality nurses in the world. Our nurses apply their professional skills on patients, but the important mechanism here is your communication dynamic. If the quality communication mechanism does not work, your professional skills are useless. We need to be self-critical on this issue. We are not that good at maintaining quality communication. The biggest actor of communication in the hospital and the main dynamo in the operation of this whole mechanism are nurses. Without them, our healthcare system would collapse. This heavy burden is on nurses.”
