"Let's Come Together with Goodness"

Eczacıbaşı's new health ecosystem evital launches long-term psychological support for earthquake survivors under the initiative "Meet with Goodness". evital, which aims to make remote health services accessible to everyone, has begun providing online psychological support to citizens in earthquake-affected regions through its platform under a project implemented in collaboration with the Turkish Psychological Association and Need Map. Nearly 500 psychologists have volunteered to participate in the project launched by the Turkish Psychological Association, with the goal of touching the lives of citizens affected by the earthquake. Eczacıbaşı Group is adding psychological support to in-kind and financial aid it has delivered to the region following the earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaraş and affected 11 provinces. Eczacıbaşı Evital, which offers a new health ecosystem through an inclusive and holistic approach, came together with the Turkish Psychological Association and Need Map to provide psychological support to earthquake survivors. Under the "Meet with Goodness" project, psychologists who are members of the Turkish Psychological Association will meet with earthquake survivors through the evital platform via Need Map and provide psychological support. The project, which will include nearly 500 volunteer psychologists, aims to provide psychological support through more than 4,000 online sessions per month. "At the core of Eczacıbaşı Evital's mission is the belief that every person has the right to healthy living," said Emin Fadıllıoğlu, CEO of Eczacıbaşı Pharmaceuticals Industrial and Financial Investments and Chairman of Eczacıbaşı Evital. "As evital, one of our most fundamental objectives is to bring together stakeholders who need health solutions and those who provide these solutions. During these difficult times for our country, we have decided to combine our efforts with the Turkish Psychological Association and Need Map to support our earthquake survivors through evital. We believe that by bringing our volunteer psychologists who are members of the Turkish Psychological Association together with earthquake-affected citizens on our platform, we will multiply goodness. I thank the Turkish Psychological Association (TPA) and Need Map for their valuable collaboration in our 'Meet with Goodness' project."

Support from hundreds of volunteer psychologists

Cem Şafak Çukur, Chairman of the Turkish Psychological Association, said: "Since the first day of the earthquake disaster that has plunged our country into mourning, the Turkish Psychological Association has been actively working in the field. It is of great importance to us that all our work is long-term and sustainable. During our support journey, our paths crossed with evital, the digital application of Eczacıbaşı Health, and Need Map. "Under the 'Meet with Goodness' project, hundreds of psychologists who are TPA members will provide psychosocial support to earthquake survivors through evital. Our volunteer psychologists made their statement hoping to meet with goodness at the end of this journey where evital and Need Map come together."
