"Inclusivity and Accessibility in the Digital Health Era: Sustainable Solutions for All"

May 6-7, 2025 | Istanbul, Turkey

Dear Colleagues,

In the digital health era, inclusivity and accessibility have become key priorities in health sciences. While the integration of technology into healthcare facilitates individuals’ and communities’ access to a healthier future, it also necessitates the development of equitable and sustainable solutions. In this context, bringing together academics, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders to exchange knowledge and experiences, discuss recent advancements, and propose innovative approaches for the future is of utmost importance.

With this awareness, we are honored and delighted to invite you to the 1st International & 2nd National Health Sciences Congress, which will be held at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University on May 6-7, 2025. Our congress aims to evaluate digital health applications from the perspectives of accessibility and inclusivity, while also addressing health equity and sustainability through both academic and practical dimensions. In addition to discussing the digital transformation in healthcare, the environmental, social, legal, and economic aspects of sustainability in healthcare will be examined with up-to-date insights.

This is an international congress, and participation is free of charge. The presentation languages will be Turkish and English.

Our congress will host leading national and international experts who will share their knowledge and experiences. Through scientific presentations, competitions, panels, and discussion sessions, we will explore ways to make healthcare services accessible and sustainable for all in the digital health era. Accepted papers in the scientific program will be presented in both face-to-face and online sessions and will be published electronically in full text.

We invite all academics, healthcare professionals, industry stakeholders, and students to join our congress. For detailed information, please visit our congress website.

Looking forward to meeting you at a productive and insightful congress.

With my best regards,

Prof. Dr. Ayşe Nefise BAHÇECİK
