  • Filiation: a Historical Term the COVID-19 Outbreak Recalled in Turkey
    354 Erciyes Med J 2020; 42(3): 354–8 • DOI: 10.14744/etd.2020.54782 HISTORY OF MEDICINE – REVIEW – OPEN ACCESS This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. Filiation: A Historical Term the COVID-19 Outbreak Recalled in Turkey Türev Demirtaş1 , Halil Tekiner2 ABSTRACT Originally derived from the Medieval Latin word, fīliātiō (from fīlius, son), filiation literally means paternity, descent-from- father, or line of descent. Concerning medicine, however, it refers to the connection of things resulting from one another, or contact tracing. The core idea behind filiation as a measure of precaution against outbreaks is to prevent the disease by interrupting the chain of transmission with a systematical tracing and isolation of susceptible individuals having contact with any confirmed cases. Filiation became a widely used medical term in the first quarter of the 19th century, primarily in French medical literature, soon adapted to English and some other languages. In the Ottoman Empire, it appeared in medical journals in the 1850s, used primarily by some European physicians practicing in the country. As part of various measures that have been taken to tackle the current pandemic of COVID-19, the method of filiation was also recalled by the medical community. Soon after the observance of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Turkey on March 11, 2020, the index case and its contacts were identified and the Turkish Ministry of Health launched the procedures of filiation at a national level with ad-hoc medical teams established around the country. Aiming to shed light on the etymological and historical aspects of filiation, the current review discusses the concept based on original resources.

  • Turkey Vaccinates One Million People in First Week 20 January 2021
    Turkey vaccinates one million people in first week 20 January 2021 Tuesday. But while Turkey has signed up for 50 million doses of CoronaVac, it is due to receive just three million by the end of the month, limiting the potential pace of the rollout. In December, Turkey also reached a deal to receive 4.5 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab by late March. Ankara has officially registered 24,328 COVID-19 deaths and nearly 2.4 million virus infections but has never seen its daily death toll exceed 300, avoiding the grim death rates recorded in European Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain countries such as Britain and Italy. © 2021 AFP Turkey has vaccinated more than one million people against the novel coronavirus in the first week of a national inoculation drive, according to health ministry figures issued Wednesday. But the drive has lost some of its momentum after more than 600,000 people were inoculated in the first two days. Turkey began the campaign with the CoronaVac jab produced by China's Sinovac last Thursday. On Tuesday, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca called Turkey's progress "one of the fastest in the world". In comparison, France had vaccinated around 585,000 people by Tuesday, after starting its campaign on December 28. Turkey has now given a first shot to more than one percent of the population of more than 83 million people. The campaign kicked off with healthcare workers and moved on to those over the age of 80 on 1 / 2 APA citation: Turkey vaccinates one million people in first week (2021, January 20) retrieved 27 September 2021 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-01-turkey-vaccinates-million-people- week.html This document is subject to copyright.

  • Turkey Ministry of Health
    REPUBLIC OF TURKEY MINISTRY OF HEALTH 74th World Health Assembly Transcript of Video Statement of Minister of Health of Turkey H.E. Dr. Fahrettin KOCA for the General Debate 24 May 2021 Theme: “Ending this pandemic, preventing the next: building together a healthier, safer and a fairer world”. Distinguished Chair, Esteemed Director-General, Distinguished Participants, I would like to begin by stating that I find this Assembly, which brought us together under the theme of "Building a healthier, safer and a fairer world" during the COVID-19 pandemic, historical and of vital importance. Even though we endeavor to protect human health and the right to health, we have been experiencing very tragic developments wiping out all these efforts in recent days. We are painfully observing how a country, which sits at the table of the Executive Board of this Organization that is responsible for protecting and building global health and preaches on human health, poses a threat to human health by mercilessly targeting hospitals that offer healthcare services without paying any regard to the right to life of even children. If we ignore this inhumane approach, do not raise the necessary awareness as the health community to what is going on in Palestine, and do not react, the idea of building a fair and a healthy world cannot go beyond mere words, and these meetings will be devoid of any meaning. Esteemed Participants, The pandemic we are in has revealed from the very first day how much the international system needs to be strengthened in many areas such as supply chain, information sharing, response, data collection and global cooperation.
