Highlights from President Erdoğan's statements are as follows: I would like to express my congratulations and thanks to every member of our health army who works devotedly to provide quality health services to our people all over our country. We will soon cut the ribbons for the buildings of our Istanbul University in Çapa and Esenyurt campuses. I hope that all of these works will be beneficial to our country and nation. We congratulate our Ministry of Health and our university; I would like to thank our workers, civil servants and engineers.
We are representatives of a very serious knowledge in terms of both health services and medical science. Being a doctor has never been seen as an ordinary profession. A physician is considered as a person who attains wisdom. Istanbul Faculty of Medicine is also entrusted to us by our ancestors. This faculty is one of the institutions entrusted to us by the world state, the Ottoman Empire. We see the first traces of medical education in Fatih Darülşiffa, which was established by the order of Sultan Fatih. Four centuries later, Tophane-i Amire, built by Mahmut II in 1827, and our first modern medical faculty were established here. I emphasize this historical flow for this reason. Continuity is essential in our state tradition. Our ancestors, who said "keep people alive so that the state can live", also reflected this understanding in institutions.
The Turkish Flag flown by Mr. Hikmet and his friends on March 14, 1919 was a declaration to the whole world that we would not bow to captivity. Being a doctor has never been seen as an ordinary profession in our history. Continuity is essential in our state tradition. Institutions are the institutions of the nation as well as the state.
Istanbul University Medical campus was built on an area of 44 thousand square meters. There are 186 beds, 39 of which are intensive care units. Polyclinic services began to be provided in our hospital, which was designed in line with the needs of modern medical education. Our Esenyurt hospital has 200 patient beds and 50 newborn and intensive care beds. Once again, I wish good luck to both of our hospitals.
We did not come to this point in health easily. There were days when people who didn't have money couldn't get service and couldn't access prescribed medicines. We managed to reverse this situation in health in 24 years. We saw the period when the patient was taken hostage. Nowadays, hospitals offer quality service to our people. Now, our public hospitals, city hospitals, foundation, private and university hospitals provide health services to our nation. In particular, we rebuilt the health infrastructure of our Istanbul.
