There is no doubt that the Corona pandemic was and still is a difficult test for all systems and societies around the world, some of which failed in that and some who succeeded, but there is no doubt that Turkey has succeeded in limiting the spread of the epidemic and controlling it and turning the ordeal into a gift, while The world's most powerful and most advanced systems have failed, and the question remains: What is the formula for Turkish success?!!!
The equation was simply an advanced health system that provides the best services without distinguishing between the poor and the rich, a dedicated medical army, wise administration, and a strong economy in addition to popular awareness, and with the combination of all these factors, the formula for Turkish success appeared in the face of the most dangerous pandemic to hit the world after World War II, and here are the details:
With the first moments of the emergence of the first disease cases in Turkey, the Turkish government initiated the closure procedures and announced the general mobilization of its medical army, numbering 110,000 doctors, nurses and civil servants, and put all hospitals and medical centers under service around the clock.
It imposed a quarantine on all patients returning to Turkey from abroad in designated places where all the necessary needs of the residents were provided.
Then the Turkish government formed a medical scientific body to manage the crisis, follow up on all developments, and provide the necessary recommendations. Then, the Turkish government managed the crisis with high transparency, explaining to the people the most accurate details about the developments in the spread of the epidemic, and placing the people before their responsibilities.
Then it allocated the entire scientific research budget allocated for the year 2020 to find a treatment and a vaccine for the epidemic, and the Turkish government provided more than 50,000 free daily examinations throughout Turkey to detect infections.

It also imposed a curfew at the end of the week, ranging between two and four days, while providing all the life necessities for the people, while controlling the markets in order to protect producers and Consumers alike, the Turkish people met these decisions with full commitment and awareness.

In terms of national medical technology, Turkey has manufactured 3,626 medical respirators with local capabilities and national expertise, 1,000 of which have been exported to various countries of the world.
The Turkish government also launched an economic support package amounting to 250 billion Turkish liras, to support the Turkish economy, companies, workers and all families affected by the closure.
The advanced communications infrastructure and the group of satellites owned by Turkey provided the possibility of remote work for companies, which allowed the continuation of the wheel of production and export.
The Turkish government also launched a campaign calling on citizens to support and social solidarity among themselves, and the results were satisfactory, as the value of donations approached two billion Turkish liras (approximately 295,000,000 US dollars).
In the real estate sector, the Turkish government launched the electronic real estate registry portal, Webtapu, which made it possible to carry out real estate transactions remotely, without the need to visit Turkey to complete the procedures for transferring property ownership.

The Turkish Minister of Treasury and Finance, Berat Albayrak, came out to say that the second half of this year will witness the recovery of the Turkish economy, due to the policies implemented by the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank during the Corona crisis.
This was confirmed by the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christina Georgieva, when she said that the Turkish economy is one of the fastest economies in the world recovering from the consequences of the Corona pandemic.
Perhaps one of the most indicative of the strength of the Turkish state during the management of the crisis is that it sent medical aid to more than 100 countries around the world, led by the United States of America, which is still groaning under the weight of the virus.
What this crisis added is that it revealed the ethical standards and values by which governments and regimes run the world. While we witnessed the death of elderly people in nursing homes in Europe without any intervention from governments or their health systems, even for burial procedures, the Turkish medical and military cargo fleets roamed The sky of the world from the China Sea in the east to Latin America in the west and the far north of Scandinavia in the north to the far south of Africa in order to transport the injured Turks and even non-Turks to receive treatment in Turkey or transfer medical aid to countries suffering from the pandemic, and here the question began, what does it mean to be a Turkish citizen? !! ....
