Women In Turkey

Come back and visit us in a week for a completely updated Site

Firstly, welcome to “Women in Turkey” or “WIT” for short. 

WIT is not a feminist group and there will be no bras burning on the streets of Altinkum! Nor is it solely a social group for girly chats and get togethers. What it is is an information portal for all women both old and new to the area where they can find details of doctors, health clinics, dentists & childcare to name but a few.

When we arrive on these shores we unpack our hopes and dreams of a better life in the sun. What we leave behind are our local GP, our NHS our Well Women Clinic, our GUM clinic, our teenage advisory clinic, our freephone helplines, our local crèche, even for some people, the samaratins helpline. Things that were so easily taken care of in the UK become somewhat scary like taking a nice cold shower after a day on the beach and as we soap ourselves down we feel the pea sized lump in a breast, or remembering our Mirena coil needs replacing….

It is the intention of WIT to compile a directory of health care practitioners and services in the area, to hold monthly meetings for its members with guest speakers in attendance and act as a friendship/support group for any woman in Turkey.

You are welcome to join us :-)
