The recent words of the new Minister Kemal Memişoğlu will enchant healthcare professionals.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan appointed Kemal Memisoglu as the Minister of Health, replacing Fahrettin Koca. Memisoglu, who has been serving as the Istanbul Provincial Health Director for approximately 8 years, made striking evaluations on Haberler.com screens as a guest during the pandemic period.

"THE VALUE OF OUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED"

Memisoglu emphasized the importance of citizens recognizing the value of their health, stating, "I especially express this for Turkey; it is necessary to recognize the value of our healthcare professionals as much as health itself. We provided healthcare services much better than many countries praised during the pandemic. No one was left on the streets, we did not fail to reach anyone, and we did not deny healthcare services to anyone due to lack of money. We provided one of the best healthcare services in the world. The healthcare professionals of this country are one of the world's leading healthcare armies."

MINISTER KOCA RECEIVED CRITICISM

Fahrettin Koca, who handed over his duties to Memisoglu, made a money counting gesture in response to the question "Why are doctors emigrating abroad?" during the Turkish Grand National Assembly Planning and Budget Commission last year, saying "It is not because of us." This gesture by Koca drew significant criticism from both the opposition and healthcare professionals.
