Another significant deficiency observed during the feasibility studies had been the lack of a separate space between the X-Ray command and X-Ray operation areas for the patients.

The suspended ceiling of the operating room had been entirely damaged and could not have provided an sterile environment. The ceiling lamps used to be clamped on the ceiling by gauzes as their mechanical components had been broken. The walls used to be ceramic coated in the old system, therefore, they had not been able to ensure antibacterial ground particularly because of the seam interspaces.

All Turkish people, regardless of their names, are “Mehmet” at the same time. All Turkish stories have a character named “Mehmet”, don’t they?
Our story has a character named “Mehmet”, too.
Without any hesitation, without questioning “Where is Ankara, where is Kalakla?”, with all his dedication, he accomplished the best in his assignment. He stayed in Sudan for many months.
He was not accustomed to the climate conditions and nutritional behaviours. Despite that he worked with his utmost efforts. He made his contribution to a meaningful work.
As you can understand from the photographs, he has made very good friends. He came back from Sudan but Sudan will always have a part in his heart. Thanks to your heart and your hands, MEHMET!
Mehmet Özer, the engineer.
