Hospitals, NGOs offer psycho-social support to coup victims

State hospitals and nongovernmental organizations around Turkey are offering psycho-social support to individuals affected by the failed coup attempted on July 15, especially relatives of civilians killed in clashes or who are in intensive care at hospitals. A psycho-social support unit set up at Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital is helping both patients and their relatives to overcome the psychological impact as much as possible through emotional and spiritual support. Around 70 patients are under treatment at hospitals, some of whom are receiving intensive care. Professor Nurullah Zengin of Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital said that patients' relatives are regularly informed about their loved one's health status. "They need to take psycho-social support, though. The support unit tries to relieve their trauma. This is part of our responsibility," Zengin said.

Yeryüzü Doktorları (Doctors Worldwide), a nongovernmental organization that sends medical and humanitarian aid to dozens of countries around the world, also announced its psycho-social support service following the failed coup attempt. People who need to receive emotional support can contact Doctors Worldwide about its service. Some experiences with such incidents can leave a lasting impact, especially on children, but psycho-social support services can help overcome it more easily.

On July 15, a small military junta linked to the Gülenist Terror Organization (FETÖ) attempted to topple the democratically elected government in Turkey. At least 246 people and 20 coup servicemen at the lowest estimate were killed and more than 2,100 people were injured overall. Since then, people across the country from diverse political, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds have shown support to democracy and the democratically elected government by remaining on streets.
