Be?ikta? - Municipality Public Health Digital Management Center

As soon as the coronavirus outbreak started spreading massively, as Be?ikta? Municipality, we carried into effect our ‘Public Health Digital Management Center’ through which we organize all our efforts from a single center. Be?ikta? Mayor Mr. R?za Akpolat said that this center will be actively operating in cases of disasters, outbreaks, earthquakes and any situation related to public health. Even before the coronavirus spread to other countries from China, we had already started disinfecting the schools in our district as of January 31 in case the virus arrived here. So far, we have disinfected more than 500 various locations and buildings in Be?ikta? including all the schools, places of worship, nursing homes, parks and consulate buildings. Stating that the struggle against the pandemic threat will be organized from a single center thanks to our new Public Health Digital Management Center; Mayor Akpolat said: “We have carried out many efforts since the very first days when the news about the New Coronavirus started spreading globally. As the Be?ikta? Municipality, we had already started disinfecting the schools within our district before the end of January and established our crisis center. We improved our online services. We prepared our hygiene kits for our elderly citizens when it was not even on the global agenda. We are at a new stage at the moment. We will continue our fight against the Covid-19 through our Public Health Digital Management Center, which has a digital infrastructure capable of operating even in cases of disasters, outbreaks, earthquakes and any situation that threatens public health. Thanks to this center, we will be able to perform crisis communication, administration and inter-institutional coordination from a single center. All the data relating to our district flowing through this center will be processed here; risk groups and areas will be determined. This way, we will be able to operate in a much more effective way. And personally I will be performing the coordination of all our units from this center day and night. We are here, doing our job for our citizens. And I am sure that we will succeed altogether in the light of science, mind and technology.
