Hos Geldiniz :-)
Firstly, welcome to “Women in Turkey” or “WIT” for short.
WIT is not a feminist group so there will be no bra-burning on the streets of Altinkum! Nor is it solely a social group for girly chats and get-togethers. WIT is an information portal for all women - both old and new to the area - where they can find details of doctors, health clinics, dentists, legal information & childcare to name but a few.
When we arrive on these shores, we unpack our hopes and dreams of a better life in the sun. What we leave behind are our local GP, NHS, Well Women Clinic, GUM clinic, teenage advisory clinic, freephone helplines, local crèche, and for some people, the Samaritan's helpline. Things that were so easily taken care of in the UK become somewhat scary - for example, taking a nice cold shower after a day on the beach and as we soap ourselves down, feeling the pea-sized lump in a breast, or remembering our Mirena coil needs replacing …..
It is the intention of WIT to compile a directory of health care practitioners, and services in the area; to hold monthly meetings for its members with guest speakers in attendance, and to act as a friendship/support group for any woman in Turkey.
You are welcome to join us :-)
Countdown to next meeting
