USAF President, Ekrem Yeter, in a press conference, said they adopted the motto “Wherever life exists” and, in accordance with that, carry out efforts to serve humanity.
Yeter noted that they operate on voluntary basis in every engagement. “USAF is comprised of 24 institutions aimed to carry out projects to offer remedy to health problems inflicted on humanity. It involves thousands of volunteer medical professionals such as doctors, dentists, psychologists, physiotherapists, vets, pharmacists, who actually work for public or private institutions.
USAF operates within the body of its parent organization International Vefa Health Confederation (VESKON), comprised of five federations, Yeter said.
