The diabetes camp, which will be followed by a group of 60 participants staying at the Mimoza Beach Hotel for three days, aims to train and provide the participants with updates on diabetes management, physiotherapy and nutrition by specialists from the Near East University Faculty of Health Sciences. The camp, which will be full of educational programs and workshops for the participants, will also create practical opportunities for the effective application of the information conveyed in daily life.
