TÜSKA Has Benn Participated in the Global Burden of Disease Training Organized in Collaboration between TÜSEB and IHME
Within the scope of cooperation activities carried out under the memorandum of understanding signed between the Presidency of Turkish Institutes of Health (TÜSEB) and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, an important training program was conducted in the field of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD).
On behalf of the IHME delegation from the United States, a two-day intensive training program was held in Ankara by the internationally renowned scientist Mohsen Naghavi and Prof. Enis Barış.
Within the scope of the program, participants were provided with comprehensive information on the methodology of GBD studies, data sources, modeling approaches, and the interpretation of indicators. The training particularly focused on GBD 2023 estimates and recent analyses from the perspective of Türkiye and neighboring countries.
Representing TÜSKA, Prof. Dr. Keziban Avcı, Specialist Büşra Bozkurt, and Cemile Yılmaz Kolat participated in the training program.
During the training, key topics included how to measure the impact of diseases, injuries, and risk factors on public health; methods for analyzing causes of death and improving data quality; and fundamental indicators such as life expectancy, healthy life expectancy (HALE), and burden of disease metrics (DALY, YLL, YLD).
In addition to theoretical knowledge, participants actively engaged in practical sessions and had the opportunity to conduct analyses using real datasets. In this way, the program aimed to enhance the effective use of health data in Türkiye and contribute to evidence-based policy development processes.
Global Burden of Disease studies stand out as one of the most important scientific tools guiding health policies by systematically measuring health losses across age, gender, geography, and time.
In this context, the knowledge and experience gained are expected to further strengthen TÜSKA’s contribution to healthcare quality and policy development processes at the international level.
