With the regulation made in the Law on the Encouragement of Social Assistance and Solidarity, the provincial center branch presidents and district branch presidents of the Red Crescent will also become members of the Board of Trustees of the Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation in the provinces and districts where Red Crescent branches and representative offices are located.
With the regulation, the Turkish Red Crescent Law has also been added to the exception provision of the Law in order to prevent any inconsistency with the regulations in the Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law.
