TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his March 14th Medicine Day that all humanity is indebted to the practitioners of the medical profession. Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We can never repay doctors and medical sector workers who serve humanity with their accumulated experience and knowledge gained through hard work from studying night and day.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his message:

“The representatives of the medical community work to ensure the health of society selflessly. This selflessness is doubtlessly greatly admired by all.

Society’s emphasis on the medical sector and its level of advancement in medicine is the most important indicator of the country’s value on life and international prestige.

In this regard, as the umbrella organization of the business community, we’ve always put great importance on medicine. To this end, we greatly value the opening of the TOBB ETU School of Medicine and the TOBB ETU Hospital. Our goal is to make these into two of the finest institutions in Turkey.

A strong and well established health sector is the herald of healthy and good days.

It is with these thoughts and feelings that I celebrate this day dedicated to the medical community.”
