Istanbul UAV, DHA – President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that our citizens used to go abroad for diagnosis and treatment, now millions of people from all over the world come to our country for the same purpose and next year we have a target of 10 10 billion in health tourism revenue.
Erdogan delivered the following message at the inauguration of the Candili Science Technology and Research Building on the Campili campus of Bogazisi University yesterday:
The foundation of deep technology: This center will give energy to our country by converting the generated knowledge into technology. With the help of our Ministry of Industry and Technology, some infrastructure of deep technology base was established. For example, one of them is a study that will reduce our country’s dependence on fossil fuels, which have the potential to be applied in many fields, from biofuels to food supplements, from animal feed to fertilizer. Studies for the efficient use of natural resources, which will support the goal of zero waste, will be conducted in this unit.
Support Laboratory Project: Another supported study is the Research, Development and Assistance Laboratories project that SMEs manufacture drugs, vaccines and medical devices for the healthcare sector … The rapid development of the healthcare sector in both our country and the world makes such research even more important. We have all seen that the health sector during the epidemic is as critical as the defense industry. We want to reduce the current account deficit and improve the export of such products by meeting the demand of the health sector with domestic and national resources … Our deep technology base includes many activities like production of natural gas from coal, emergency response to earthquakes. Systems, Earthquake Safety, Genetic Research, Nanomaterials and Robotics Research.
We survived the epidemic with minimal damage: The coronavirus epidemic and the post-Russia-Ukraine war have sent a very important message to all humanity. Countries that do not have health infrastructure, no matter how rich or prosperous, have been vulnerable to serious threats … Thanks to Turkey’s investment in the health sector, it has been able to overcome this catastrophe with the lowest losses in the last two decades. Infrastructure. I believe that those who ridicule our city hospitals and slander investments labeled wasteful are grateful to us for these opportunities, although they did not explicitly disclose this when the epidemic began.
Millions of patients are coming: Beyond protecting the health of our own citizens, we aim to become the most important health care center in our region and in the world. Earlier, our citizens used to go abroad for diagnosis and treatment. Now millions of people from all over the world come to our country for the same purpose. He spends billions of dollars here. Next year, our goal is to get a share of 10 10 billion from the global healthcare market by serving 1.5 million overseas patients. When we combine the quality of our services with the ability to develop and manufacture technology, our revenue will grow rapidly.
‘In all cases our country will be a safe haven’
At a time when the food crisis is threatening the world, the importance of production and technological development is increasing. Beyond becoming self-sufficient in the food sector, we want to go our own way with a capacity that will feed all humanity and meet the needs of the entire world. It is clear that the global crisis is likely to be severe in the near future, especially in developed countries. In each case, Turkey has seized it, despite obstacles we can scarcely imagine. ” In this climate, everyone will benefit by investing in their own country and trusting their own people and people. Those who constantly humiliate their own country, humiliate their own nation and insult their own state, their social media propaganda to cover their complex. Those who, with their scientific achievements, try in vain to capture the agenda of our country in an ideological obsession and to cloud the minds of our nation. Because there is ultimately support, incentives and programs for anyone who wants to work, produce and innovate in this country.
