Abstract

The fist newspaper of the Independence
War and issued in Sivas under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, İrade-i
Milliye Newspaper published articles, advertisements and announcements as well
following a publication policy to promote the National Struggle. Informative
and warning articles and texts were published to inform the public about
infectious and venereal diseases such as plague, syphilis and gonorrhea. With
the informative and instructive publications about the causes, signs, remedies
for protection and treatment methods of syphilis, the public was tried to be made
conscious of the disease. It also published articles to encourage public and
authorities to materially and spiritually support hospitals trying to provide
health care services with limited equipment and personnel so that they could
work more effectively and intervene in every type of disease. İrade-i Milliye Newspaper also supported the campaign
started against the national disaster with its responsible publication policy
and attempted to mold public opinion for healthy population and generations.
