3rd Spina Bifida Days: Holistic Approaches to Spinal Problems

On October 25, a special event titled “Holistic Approaches to Spinal Problems in Individuals with Spina Bifida” was held at Emsey Hospital, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Bekir Yavuz Uçar and in collaboration with the Istanbul Branch of the Turkish Spina Bifida Association, as part of the 3rd Spina Bifida Days.

The event began with a live music performance, where 10 specialist physicians answered families’ questions and shared valuable insights on spina bifida and spinal health. Throughout the event, fun activities organized for children added joy and liveliness to the day.

On this meaningful day, with more than 150 participants, volunteer riders from motorcycle clubs also supported Spina Bifida awareness by performing a short show in front of the hospital.

As Emsey Hospital, we are pleased to be part of this valuable initiative carried out in collaboration with the Istanbul Branch of the Turkish Spina Bifida Association, aimed at improving the quality of life of individuals with spina bifida, raising family awareness, and strengthening public awareness.
