Obesity Center
Çorlu State Hospital Obesity Center, T.C. The Ministry of Health has the title of being the 16th obesity center registered throughout Turkey within the scope of the 'Turkey Emergency Action Plan to Combat Obesity'.
Individuals with obesity, that is, with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2, are followed up and treated by this multidisciplinary team for 1 year in the obesity center, and then they are included in the protection program.
An important part of obesity treatment is therapeutic patient education. Each patient is evaluated by a team of physicians, nutritionists, exercise specialists, nurses and psychologists with a multidisciplinary approach, and individual and/or collective training increases patient compliance and increases the success rate with the active participation of the individual in the treatment.
The purpose of our center; It is to realize that the weight of people is not only a physiological but also a psychological disorder, to lose weight with behavioral changes and trainings, and to gain the ability to maintain their weight after weakening. In short, it is to focus on permanent lifestyle change. For this reason, the existence of specialized centers where individuals with obesity can be allocated enough time and followed for a long time by the same team gains importance. Our hospital's Obesity Center also serves this purpose.
Our team consists of 1 responsible physician, 1 nurse, 1 dietician, 1 psychologist, 1 sports trainer. In addition, we receive support from different branches with our consultant physicians.
