The “Diabetes Camp” organized by Near East University DESAM Research Institute, Near East University Faculty of Health Sciences and Turkish Cypriot Diabetes Association in collaboration was completed with intense participation at Mimoza Beach Hotel. The camp, where 60 participants experienced diabetes management for three days, enabled diabetic individuals to receive direct training from experts on disease management and learn how to integrate this information into their daily lives.
Participants received training on subjects such as diabetes management, physiotherapy and nutrition under the guidance of experts from Near East University Faculty of Health Sciences. Thanks to the interactive structure of the camp, participants had the opportunity to share their own experiences and interact with other individuals experiencing similar health problems. They also experienced a more efficient learning process by communicating one-on-one with experts.
