Earthquake analysis results of Near East Enterprises Hospitals announced
Near East Enterprises Chairman of the Board of Trustees Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel, in the article he wrote for the foreword of the journal, announced the results of the earthquake analyses completed for the buildings of Near East University Hospital, University of Kyrenia Hospital and the Near East University Yeniboğaziçi Hospital. Prof. Dr. Günsel, “The core concrete samples taken from Near East Hospital, Suat Günsel University of Kyrenia Hospital and Near East University Yeniboğaziçi Hospital buildings and our dental hospitals were subjected to compressive strength tests by the Near East University Structure and Soil Analysis Laboratory experts. Tests with core and Schmidt-hammer methods once again demonstrated the safety of our hospital buildings against earthquakes, which we are sure of because they are very new buildings. The earthquake performance analysis, on the other hand, showed that in a possible earthquake, our hospitals can continue to provide health services without interruption, even in the event of an earthquake, without the need to go out. I am happy to share with you that experts evaluate our hospitals as ‘earthquake buildings’, which are used to define the highest level of security in terms of earthquake safety.
A lot of content about child health!
In the last issue of the magazine, which is published semi-annually in Turkish and English, the content about children and sibling relations draws attention.

Pediatric Nephrology Specialist Prof. Dr. İpek Özunan, on the other hand, enlightens the readers about the common misconceptions about urinary incontinence in children with her article titled “Genetic, not psychological”. In her article, Prof. Dr. Özunan warns that the problem of urinary incontinence brings along problems such as a decrease in the child’s self-esteem and incorrect development of body image, and states that “Contrary to what is thought, there are genetic causes behind urinary incontinence, not psychological.”
Dr. Suat Günsel University of Kyrenia Hospital Neurology Specialist Assist.
