La Blanche Island Bodrum
Welcome from Chairs
All valuable health professionals dedicated to childbirth education,
We have organised our traditional "3rd International 5th National Childbirth Education and Educators Congress" for three years. After a break, we are delighted to be organising the Congress in Bodrum, the Pearl of the Aegean.
The main theme of our congress is "Starting Life with Pleasant Traces": Holistic Childbirth Education". Pregnancy and childbirth are not only the beginning, but also the beginning for the newborn baby and the whole family, a meaningful process that leaves deep traces in their lives.
In this context, our aim is to provide families with a pleasant birth experience on this special journey. To share our experiences by bringing all childbirth educators together to share the process with us as health professionals, while making this process as satisfying and enjoyable as possible for families expecting a baby. To support them to live in such a way.
To this end, our congress will be rich in course content, evidence-based knowledge, practice and experience. Making childbirth a pleasant experience for all family members has public health implications. We will discuss the implications. We will also continue our tradition of awarding the "Best Childbirth Education Class" at our congress.
With a holistic approach, we aim to make future human beings healthier and happier by comprehensively addressing every aspect of childbirth, with the awareness that pregnancy and childbirth leave deep traces not only in the life of the woman, but also in the life of the baby and the entire family, and with the awareness of transforming these traces into positive ones.
In the unique nature of Bodrum, all valuable health professionals who dedicate themselves to childbirth education, in the comfort and convenience of La Blanche Island Hotel, in a peaceful environment,
5th National and 3rd International Congress on Preparation for Childbirth we will be happy to see you among us. Hope to meet you at our congress...
Sincerely...
Prof. Dr Merlinda Aluş TOKAT
