Athlete Health Package Introduced with a Spectacular Launch

<p><strong>The "Athlete Health Package", which was realized in cooperation with Atakent Cihan Hospital and DIO Group and with the participation of Kocaeli Amateur Sports Clubs Federation, was introduced with a well-attended launch at Izmit Ramada Plaza. </strong></p> <p>The launch, where the Athlete Health Package was explained in every aspect, started with an opening cocktail. Deputy Mayors, Provincial Health Directorate Officials, District Branch Managers of Youth Sports, President and Board Members of the Federation of Amateur Sports Clubs, Dean and Faculty Members of Kocaeli University Faculty of Physical Education and Sports, President and Board Members of Kocaeli Sports, Board Members and Coordinators of Kağıtspor Club and Club Presidents attended the launch.</p> <p>The opening speeches of the launch were made by Latif Sezgin, General Manager of Atakent Cihan Hospital and Murat AYDIN, President of Kocaeli Amateur Sports Clubs Federation. The launch, in which the details of the project, which was shaped based on the benefits that the athlete health package will offer to clubs and athletes, continued with a question and answer session.</p> <p><strong>"We are perhaps the only city in Turkey with such a plan"</strong></p> <p>Murat Aydın, President of Kocaeli Amateur Sports Clubs, who made the first speech about the project, expressed the following words;</p> <p>"Today, we will explain this system, which is related to the work and planning on health that has been done for a long time, to our entire community. Health is actually the thing we talk about the most. Even though it is a situation that we realize at that moment, it is in our lives. Especially the health problems of our athletes have to be addressed by sports clubs. Health in sports is one of the issues we care about the most. When health problems occur during competitions, we immediately focus on them. In fact, the planner of this issue is first and foremost football. The preparer of football has planned instructions for the process; he has put the phrase that everyone is responsible for this work. In other words, sports clubs are responsible for health measures. It is not possible for our amateur clubs to take health measures on the fields or in their own clubs. The Federation and the Ministry of Health or Sports are obliged to take these measures, this is my opinion. Of course, health is a bleeding wound not only in Kocaeli but also in Turkey. Especially athlete health is a bleeding wound everywhere. We are trying to do our best to ensure that all clubs take health measures. We are trying to reflect what we have within the impossibilities. This impossibility is not a local impossibility but a general impossibility. We think about health instantly. You will decide here to be in this planning. Perhaps we are the only city in Turkey to make such a plan."</p> <p><strong>"No Doctor Understands Athlete's Health"</strong></p> <p>Latif Sezgin, General Manager of Atakent Cihan Hospital, made a speech after Murat Aydın's speech,</p> <p>"There are many doctors related to athlete health, but it is very difficult to find a doctor who understands athlete health. Our aim is to guarantee the health of athletes in all amateur branches. It is really difficult to find a doctor who understands athlete health."</p> <p><strong>"This is a New Project"</strong></p> <p>Speaking later, Atakent Cihan Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Specialist Muammer Kocatürk said</p> <p>"The most important thing in athlete injuries is the chaos after the injury. We have embarked on a project to see if we can eliminate the information pollution on this issue and standardize the process management from a single source. Athlete injuries are unpleasant issues. But we encounter them frequently. We came up with such a project to see how we can standardize the process of this work. We will try to see how club officials in particular can be less preoccupied in the field of health. This is a new project. It is not an event that will set an example, where we can add mistakes, pros and cons. It is a project that we realized with good intentions to contribute to the sports of the province, but maybe I will need to add something on top of it in the times ahead. We will have some mistakes and we will learn from them. But with the support, let's move towards more positivity in the future."</p> <p><strong>What is the Athlete Health Package?</strong></p> <p>The athlete health package, created in cooperation with Atakent Cihan Hospital and DIO Group, is a comprehensive system designed to protect the health of athletes of all ages and levels.
