About Us

Our Mission

In line with WHO's principle that "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity," our mission is to elevate global health standards, support scientific research, and contribute to providing accessible healthcare services for everyone.

Our Vision

Within the framework of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3), to play a leading role in ensuring healthy lives for all at all ages by 2030 and eliminating global health inequalities.

Message from the President

Dear Members and Visitors,

As the Health Federation, in line with WHO's fundamental principles and UN Sustainable Development Goals, we continue our efforts to develop innovative solutions to global health issues and to provide accessible healthcare services for everyone.

Since its establishment, our federation has undertaken significant projects in the fields of medical device development, pharmaceutical research, and preventive healthcare services. Today, with a world population exceeding 8 billion, the increasing health impacts of climate change, and emerging infectious diseases, we are encouraged to be even more innovative and to develop global collaborations.

According to WHO data, while global average life expectancy has reached 73.3 years, inequalities in access to health services can still shorten life expectancy by decades. With this reality in mind, our federation continues its work embracing the principle of universal health coverage.

I invite you to be a part of this important mission and to support the efforts of our federation. Together, we can work towards a healthier world.

Sincerely,
Raşit Dinç
President, Health Federation

Guided by WHO's International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) and drug safety standards, we contribute to establishing high quality and safety standards across healthcare services.

Through active research and development programs, the Federation encourages innovation in medical devices, drug manufacturing, and cutting-edge healthcare solutions. In line with WHO's research priorities and "Vaccines for All" initiative, we organize workshops, conferences, and joint initiatives to advance scientific knowledge.
