Rector Çomaklı: “Symposium Outputs will Light the Future”

Making an evaluation about the symposium, Atatürk University Rector Prof. Dr. Ömer Çomaklı stated: "Today's medicine is advancing rapidly with new developments and changes every day. As a result of this progress, many diseases can be diagnosed at an early stage, on the other hand, treatment possibilities and options are developing. As a result, we see patients with complicated co-morbid problems more often, and developments bring changes with them. Pregnant women with additional and serious diseases have started to be followed in obstetrics, and different problems have started to come to the fore both in terms of obstetricians and anesthesiologists. Preventing possible complications due to these problems has become one of the most important issues. I believe that the outputs of the symposium organized with the TARD Black Sea Branch will shed light on these issues, and I wish it to be beneficial.”
