Bayer Turkey Bringing Together Women and Specialist Physicians

According to statistics, 76 percent of women in Turkey do not regularly visit their gynecologist. With the aim of raising awareness among women, Bayer Women's Health has signed on to numerous digital projects aimed at bringing together women and specialist physicians in the field. Taking on the mission of serving as a bridge between women and specialist physicians, Bayer Turkey Women's Health became a sponsor of Albert Health's telemedicine application, particularly during the pandemic period, for women who have questions about women's health and are reluctant to go to the hospital, marking a first in the sector. Under this initiative, 1,000 women have downloaded the Albert Health Health Assistant application and are able to receive free consultations from gynecologists and obstetricians. Women's Health TV, which first launched as a website in 2017, continues to raise awareness among women by sharing through its YouTube and Instagram accounts scientific and reliable answers to all frequently asked questions about childbirth, pregnancy preparation, infertility, menopause and women's health provided by specialist physicians in their respective fields.
