Medical applications, which have historically been dominated by human relations, have begun to be replaced by technological applications. Due to new information and technologies, some of the old medical practices lose their validity. In this context, our students graduate as qualified and researcher physicians who are integrated with technology, can develop and apply new technologies. Thanks to this equipment, they will be embarked on a difficult but very sacred task for the health of humanity in our future. Today, when we award diplomas to our students, we reward our country and human health, not them. Bringing new physicians to our country’s health army is undoubtedly one of the most important services for our country. On this occasion, I would like to express once again how proud I am of you. I know that you will serve humanity by representing us and your country in the best way around the world, and you will live to keep it alive.”said.
