Hand in Hand for Health Project

Türkiye Health Foundation and Bir Adım Sağlık Announce Strategic Partnership: Hand in Hand for Health Project

A New Social Support Model for Access to Healthcare Begins in Türkiye

As a public health innovation established to expand the preventive healthcare approach, Bir Adım Sağlık has signed a strategic partnership with the Türkiye Health Foundation. Within the scope of this collaboration, the “Hand in Hand for Health” project — a social support model aimed at improving access to healthcare in Türkiye — will be launched.

As a public health innovation established to expand the preventive healthcare approach, Bir Adım Sağlık has signed a very important collaboration with the Türkiye Health Foundation. The “Hand in Hand for Health” project will bring together people in need, donors, and healthcare professionals. Within the scope of the project, it is aimed to provide regular medical support, at-home care, and rehabilitation services to individuals who experience difficulties accessing healthcare services.

Positioned as a new model of social solidarity, the “Hand in Hand for Health” project aims to support thousands of individuals who are unable to access healthcare services on time due to chronic illnesses, the need for at-home care, and socioeconomic barriers. By bringing together donors, healthcare professionals, and people in need under one roof, the project offers a sustainable solution and aims to reach 10,000 beneficiaries within its first year.

Emphasizing that they have been working for many years to bring such an important project in the healthcare field to life, Ayşe Şengel, General Manager of Bir Adım Sağlık, stated:

“With our many years of field experience in at-home healthcare services, we will reach those in need through our expert teams. Through this project, we approach healthcare not only as treatment, but also through the dimensions of accessibility, follow-up, and trust. We are proud to contribute all of our teams and expertise to such a meaningful initiative.”

In a statement made on behalf of the Türkiye Health Foundation, Foundation President Dr. Murat Balaban (PhD) said:

“The increasing elderly population and growing burden of chronic diseases in Türkiye have made sustainable healthcare support models critically important. Through the ‘Hand in Hand for Health’ project, we aim both to strengthen access to healthcare services and to enhance social solidarity.”

Within the scope of the project, it is planned to provide regular services in areas such as physician examinations and medical evaluations, mobile nursing practices, physical therapy and rehabilitation, at-home companionship and caregiving services, as well as health education and consultancy.

While the funding and reporting processes of the project will be carried out by the Türkiye Health Foundation, the operational healthcare services will be implemented in the field by the expert teams of Bir Adım Sağlık. In this way, a sustainable structure will be established in line with the goals of a transparent donation model, regular reporting, measurement of health outcomes, and lasting social impact.

In addition to reaching 10,000 people in need within its first year, the “Hand in Hand for Health” Project also aims to ensure regular follow-up in chronic disease management and reduce the burden of at-home care.
