Description:

This Turkish first edition of Let's Protect Our Children from Diseases (Çocuğumuzu Hastalıklardan Koruyalım) was published by Doğuş Limited in 1953. Printed in Turkish, the booklet was prepared as a public health and educational publication aimed at informing families, especially mothers and rural communities, about child health, hygiene, and disease prevention.

The work was produced within the framework of American Marshall Plan aid programs provided to Turkey during the postwar modernization period, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Health. Its primary goal was to help reduce infant and child mortality rates by educating the public about childcare, nutrition, sanitation, vaccination, and the early symptoms of common childhood illnesses.

Themes such as public health, maternal education, child welfare, hygiene, vaccination, and rural modernization appear throughout the booklet. Written in a simple and accessible style, the publication reflects the broader modernization and healthcare campaigns carried out in Turkey during the early Republican and Cold War era.

The booklet also serves as a historical example of mid-twentieth-century public health propaganda and educational outreach designed to improve living standards and healthcare awareness among the general population.
