ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors, Philanthropist and Businessman Asaf ATASOY, published a congratulatory message on the occasion of March 14 Medicine Day.

ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors Asaf ATASOY included the following statements in his message;

My dear fellow citizens;

As Suleiman the Magnificent concisely emphasized with his famous lines, “There is no object as esteemed among the people as the state, there is no state in the world like a breath of health,” health is one of the most valuable assets that human beings possess.

Our understanding of civilization that we have inherited from our ancestors has always been based on people. The principle of “Let people live so that the state can live” best expresses this understanding. One of the prerequisites for being a prosperous, modern society and a strong state in every field is to have healthy individuals.

Our valuable physicians and healthcare professionals at all levels, who have earned the trust and appreciation of the Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk with his words, “Entrust me to Turkish physicians”, who have put human health above all else by coping with all dangers with their passion for working everywhere and under all conditions, regardless of summer or winter, war, epidemics or disasters, are beyond praise for their meticulous and superhuman efforts in protecting the most fundamental human right, the right to life, and in helping us use this right.

With these feelings and thoughts, I wholeheartedly congratulate all our healthcare professionals who serve with great devotion on March 14 Medicine Day; I wish God’s mercy upon our martyred healthcare professionals, and I greet you all with my love and respect.
