Obituary Professor Nilda Turgut
Farewell, Nilda...
On the night of October 11th, a tragic car accident took the life of our beloved friend, Professor Doctor MD Nilda Turgut.
She was a highly esteemed professor at NKU in Tekirdağ, Türkiye School of Medicine, Department of Neurology. Professor Turgut earned her degree at Ankara University, School of Medicine, from 1986-1992 and furthered her expertise in medicine at Istanbul University, School of Medicine, in the Department of Neurology, from 1993 to 1998. She was a dedicated member of several organizations, including the Turkish Neurology Association, the Turkish EEG-EMG Association, the Turkish Stroke Association, and the European Academy of Neurology.
With a special interest in cerebrovascular diseases, neuroimmunology, and neurophysiology, Professor Nilda Turgut made significant contributions to her field. She held key positions as the Head of the Neuromuscular Center and the Stroke Unit, as well as leading the Health Science Institute. Her extensive research resulted in numerous articles on cerebrovascular diseases, neuroimmunology, and neurophysiology, along with guidance on postgraduate theses and involvement in national and international projects. An outstanding scholar, she received several awards for her work in neurophysiology and neuroimmunology.
She was the mother of a girl and always expressed her ambition by saying “I have ideals beyond my dreams.”
We are never ready to say goodbye forever to the loved one Nilda, even though we know it is a part of life. The purpose of expressing condolences and sympathy is to offer as much compassion, attention, and connection to the bereaved as possible. It is difficult to convey our feelings in such emotional situations.
But the truth is that we have lost Nilda Turgut, a remarkable person whose impact will be felt for years to come.
God bless you, Nilda
