Health

At Bilfen Primary and Secondary Schools, a school doctor and nurses are available to provide first response to any medical problem. The school infirmaries are adequately equipped to tend to students' needs in case of a health problem.

The students are referred to the infirmary by the vice principal.

Nutrition

In our schools, breakfasts, lunches and all catering services are prepared by Biltur Catering. Catering (www.bilturcatering.com) has been founded within the scope of Bilfen and aims at cooking quality and healthy foods for students in compliance with the rules of hygiene. The menus which are subjected to calorie calculation by dietitians and quality control officers are approved by the school doctor as well and then offered to students. 

Hygiene

Attaching importance to students' health, Bilfen Schools pay attention to hygiene activities in our schools. These activities are carried out under the supervision of Prof Dr Yasar Keskin, the Public Health Specialist and lecturer in Marmara University. Microbiological samples are taken from all critical points and examined accordingly within the scope of the activities conducted in compliance with the HACCP rules (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point).
