Two More Bodies Donated to Our Faculty

There has been another good development at our University in the field of body donation, which is a very limited number of cases in Turkey and is not seen especially in newly opened medical faculties, where medical faculty and medical specialty students have gained a great deal in their practical education. Two more body donations were made to our Faculty of Medicine, which received its first body donation a short time ago.

A certificate of appreciation presentation program was organized for our body donors. The program held in our Senate Hall was attended by our Dean Prof. Dr. Nureddin Cengiz, our Deputy Dean Dr. Instructor Member Engin Aydın, Head of the Department of Anatomy, Dr. Instructor Member Muhammet Bora Uzuner and members of the press attended. Thank you certificate and donation card to body donor Fehmi Demirhan, Dean of Faculty of Medicine Prof. Dr. While being presented by Nureddin Cengiz, the other body donor Ahmet Yurtkök could not attend the ceremony.

Our Dean Prof. Dr. Nurettin Cengiz thanked the donors for their sensitive behavior and said that as the Faculty of Medicine, they reached 3 in body donation and this is a record.

Fehmi Demirhan, who stated that he died due to work accidents he had twice before and was saved thanks to the doctors, said that he wanted to pay his debt to the doctors by donating his body as a cadaver. Demirhan said, “I came back from the dead twice. Who saved me? Doctors… I owe doctors. My moral debt lay within me. I decided to donate the cadaver with the thought that if I donate the cadaver, I will pay a little bit of my debt to the doctors. I did it to pay off my debt to medicine.” used the phrases.

We would like to thank body donors Fehmi Demirhan and Ahmet Yurtkök for their meaningful and important support to Science and our University's Faculty of Medicine.
