The COVID-19 epidemic, which swept the whole world, has brought the health systems of almost all countries to the point of collapse. According to scientific data, it is known that face-to-face meeting and contact are one of the biggest factors affecting the spread of this epidemic. For this reason, people now rightfully avoided going to the hospital. Thus, people could not cure their diseases and were deprived of health services. It is known that hospitals all over the world have problems with both bed problems and health services. Although people wanted to go to hospitals, they could not go due to the contagiousness of the pandemic, but as a result, many people died at home due to their illnesses. In addition, hospitals in many parts of the world have had problems treating their patients due to excessive workload. As a result, the epidemic caused by the COVID-19 virus has significantly affected health systems all over the world, reducing both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patient treatment opportunities. In order to overcome this bottleneck and to ensure the survival of the health systems of the countries, it has become necessary to rapidly create alternative health services and treatment methods that can distribute the health service burden.
While this is the case for developed and rich countries, it is also a frightening fact that poor and low-income people cannot receive adequate or no health services anyway. There are 107 middle and underdeveloped countries that cover almost more than half of the world's geography, and most of the people living here cannot receive adequate health services not only during the pandemic but throughout their lives due to financial difficulties. 5.7 billion people living in these countries (this number constitutes 76% of the world's population) live in multidimensional poverty (A., Sabina et al., The 2020 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), University of Oxford, 2020). This rate is a tragedy, especially in terms of human health and importance. Although countries allocate a large part of their income sources for health care, unfortunately, more than half of the world's population cannot receive adequate health care.
Therefore, the main purpose of this project; With the DYL-HP platform that will be created, people will be able to get health services by meeting with volunteer doctors who are experts in their fields on the internet without going to the hospital. In the volunteer doctor pool of the platform, from psychiatrist to dietician, from obstetrician to pediatrician; Specialist doctors from all fields of health such as otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dermatologist, internal medicine, neurologist and chest diseases will be available. In addition, for those who cannot go to gyms or do not have the opportunity to do quality sports due to the Covid 19 pandemic, users will be able to take live or video recording lessons from volunteer yoga-pilates-fitness and sports instructors who are experts in their field, with the DYL-HP platform. Thus, with the DYL-HP platform, health and sports services will be offered to all people from all over the world, whether rich or poor, with the awareness of a healthy young life, which is their greatest right to life.
As a result, DYL-HP will be a non-profit digital platform that will offer health and sports services live and free of charge, with the awareness of healthy young life that all humanity needs during and after the Covid-19 pandemic, as an alternative to established physical hospitals.
