Dear Colleagues,
Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, a large complex in Istanbul was opened in May 2020. The hospital complex consists of eight special hospitals including six blocks of pediatrics, general medicine, orthopedics & neurology, obstetrics & gynecology, cardiac & vascular surgery and oncology. In addition, there are two adjacent buildings of physical medicine and rehabilitation and psychiatry hospitals. The capacity of the hospital include 725 clinics and 2,682 beds. More than 100 academic staff has been working in our hospital. It has an affiliation with Health Sciences University. Currently, 52 different specialities and subspecialities serve as educational departments for residents and fellows. In addition to training and research activities, we start to publish our official Cam&Sakura Medical Journal (CSMJ) to improve educational facilities. We established a large Editorial Board from all over the world to provide scientific collaboration.
Our primary aim is to establish CSMJ as an indexed journal to share recent improvements from all departments of general medicine. Several kind of manuscripts including invited reviews from experts, experimental and clinical original studies, case reports, letters to the editor, and others will be published in CSMJ. I believe that CMSJ will make important contributions in the scientific literature. Therefore, to achive these goals, we need your help for submission of original manuscripts. I want to thank to all editors and editorial board for their assistance in publication of CSMJ.
I hope you will read the first issue with great interest. I thank to the authors of the manuscripts in this issue. We will be waiting your contributions for the future issues. I wish healthy days for all readers during Covid-19 pandemics.
Mehmet Emin Kalkan
Chief Physician
Cam and Sakura City Hospital
