Stating that our civilizations have guided science and technology for centuries with the great scientists they have raised and the educational institutions they have built, Minister of Health Memişoğlu said, “Undoubtedly, the background of our historical pioneering role in the fields of science is the great value that our civilization and geography gives to science and scientists. Therefore, this academy, our universities, with their professors and the scientists they have raised, is also the lifeblood of our nation.” Prof. Dr. Memişoğlu further stated that academies should not only be pioneering and exemplary centers that produce, process, develop and disseminate information, but should also build the intellectual foundations that the country needs. He added that Hacettepe University will continue to raise successful students who will develop national and international literature in academic terms, work for Türkiye and humanity, as they have done so far, and stated that “As the Ministry of Health, we want to seriously support our physicians not only in terms of surgery and treatment but also in terms of producing science. We will stand by our scientists who are conducting Phase 1 studies, especially with the ecosystem we will create through Health Institutes of Türkiye (TUSEB), and we will support our scientists. We will stand strongly behind our friends who say, “I will say something new, I will produce something new.” In the field of medicine, we have to stand out with a more advanced claim in the field of health. We must now be the main player in the health sector in the world. For this, we will produce health knowledge, health technology, and say new things about health.”
