Some professions are professions of performance, while others are professions of sacrifice.

Our health army works at a very high tempo and with dedication, possessing a character that sacrifices the time they would otherwise spend with their families when necessary.

We are striving to stand by our healthcare community by mobilizing all our resources.

Our healthcare system is stronger today than it has ever been in the past."

In 23 years, we have taken historic steps in the field of health with our investments, projects, reforms, and services.

We also condemn those who ignore your efforts and the sacrifices of our healthcare workers to oblivion.

In 2002, we had 379 thousand healthcare workers; with an increase of approximately 4 times, this number has reached 1 million.

In the last 23 years, we have renewed or rebuilt 80 percent of our existing hospitals.

In total, we have put 27 city hospitals with 39 thousand 367 beds into service. The construction of 11 city hospitals with 14 thousand 153 beds is ongoing.
