Television, which is one of the most used communication tool today, has become one of the important tool used by individuals and institutions in the field of health, due to its structure that provides mass communication in the media sector. The early days of television were, of course, the years when there was limited access to healthcare and information. Accessing to the hospital or doctor was also limited. People watched health-related information on their television and began to convey what they saw and obtained to their families, relatives, and friends. They were impressed by these programs and even continued to treat themselves. Over the years, the structure of health programs has changed. Many elements of the program and the outfits of presenters have improved.
