Hit the Road for Healthy Turkey!
It is our roadmap to develop individuals' individual knowledge, attitudes and behaviors and to contact thousands of people in more than one place for this purpose, in order to make healthy living a culture. We know that this responsibility will be fulfilled not only by "contacting more people," but by "always standing with them." With our current projects all over the country for this, we continue to work for a Healthy Turkey.
We are on board to make healthy living a culture!
We know that protecting public health is primarily the responsibility of the individual. We set out to not just be aware of this responsibility, but to take action and make a difference. We continue to work to encourage each individual to be healthy and to protect and develop public health for a healthy Turkey.
