Health Minister Fahrettin Koca also delivered a speech.
” A strong health system is vital for humanity," said Koca and added, "The importance of it was revealed once again during the pandemic. We are proud to be one of the rare countries in the world to have been able to deal with this. Under the leadership of our president, the point at which our healthcare system stands is appreciated not only by the Turkish people, but also by international organizations.”
Noting that 52 facilities had been opened in Sakarya, Koca said,"The 370-bed obstetrics and pediatrics hospital of the Training and Research Hospital has become operational. 10 other health investments are under construction. The Sakarya city hospital is one of them. These days, when we're trying to get the pandemic off our agenda, our healthcare workers are making a tremendous effort. We are breaking records in vaccination. In order to erase the pandemic from our lives, we must achieve our social immunity, and I urge the Turkish people to act with this in mind. We want to make sure that everyone has received at least one dose of a vaccine before eid. I hope that these facilities we have opened today will yield to fruitful conclusions."
