DOST Agency Successfully Concludes Health Week

DOST Agency has concluded Health Week, an initiative organized to support employees’ health and well-being and promote a healthy lifestyle.

The initiative aimed to raise employees’ awareness of health issues, encourage preventive healthcare practices, and make health-focused activities an integral part of the workplace.

Throughout the week, awareness sessions and medical screenings were held on eye health, healthy eating, early detection of breast cancer under the “Pink Ribbon” initiative, basic first aid, stress and metabolic syndrome, mental well-being, and hidden hypertension among young people.

As part of the initiative, eye examinations were conducted in cooperation with Batı Göz Clinic. Specialists from various healthcare institutions also provided information on the importance of preventive screenings, healthy eating, and psychological well-being.

Nearly 200 employees took part in the awareness sessions and medical screenings organized during Health Week.

One of the highlights of the week was a mini-challenge held under the slogan “5 Days. 5 Healthy Habits. A Healthier DOST!” The challenge encouraged employees to make time for daily physical activity, drink enough water, eat healthily, take regular breaks from screen use to rest their eyes, and take short well-being breaks.

Health Week contributed to strengthening DOST Agency’s commitment to employee well-being and fostering a healthier work environment.
