REPORT

## Sayfa 2

In our age, the most crucial misconception created by the societies leading mass
communication tools, thanks to the development of technology, art, and science is the
conception that this development brought prosperity to the whole world. In fact, humanity
suffers under great inconveniences such as starvation, war, natural catastrophe, disease
and poverty. A significant part of these inconveniences stems from the sociopolitical
decisions taken during the formation of welfare societies. Evidently, it is not possible to ease
peoples' suffering by intervening in these political applications, which are widely
implemented, on short notice. For this reason, we believe that being on the side of people in
need of assistance, based on volunteerism, would be the rational choice that would benefit
them. With this belief, we started to work within the framework of Doctors Worldwide in 2000.
For 11 years, we have organized numerous aid projects in our country and the rest of the
world. While executing our projects, we have never made any discrimination based on
ethnicity, geography or faith and strived to be on the side of anyone who needs help. As you
may read the details in our report, we have not only been involved in medical interventions,
but we have also worked within different projects such as education, aid in kind and drilling
water wells, with the contribution of our volunteers of all ages.
In addition to helping people in troubled regions of the world, we have developed projects
aiding local people to overcome these inconveniences. We contributed to the
establishment of a foundation for healthy new generations with new education and health
centers, and by providing preventive health services. We have advanced rapidly and
efficiently since our foundation. Thanks to the increasing number of volunteers, growing
number of donations, our expanding aid geography, and our developing corporate level,
we succeeded in being one of the prominent non-governmental organizations in the world.
Today, we are operating in cooperation with many charities working in Turkey and abroad,
also we are materially and morally supported by these organizations. The confidence we
have won both nationally and internationally gives us strength as volunteers committed
to charity, it grants us the honor to demonstrate the inheritance of being the ‘helping
hand’, which dates back to our history as the posterity of this country. We believe that
charity keeps the world together and nourishes hope. With this faith, we believe that the
services we give as zakat of our wisdom will intensify the kindness despite all the
negative aspects of life. In regions where we provide services, we witness happiness in
the eyes of people we help when they see other people devoted to charity. For this reason,
we maintain to provide services in a more productive and wider scale with the support of
our volunteers, donors, as well as the institutions and organizations working with us as
solution partners, as illustrated in this annual report. While enthusiastically sharing our
projects with you, we are going to infuse kindness into humanity within the framework of
Doctors Worldwide Turkey. Best regards,

SYRIA CRISIS (2011-2013)
Following the conflicts that emerged in Syria after the Arab Spring
upraising and as it developed to be a long-term crisis, DWWT
launched aid activities for the Syrian people who took refuge in other
places since March 2013.
In the Wadi Khaled district, located 700 m. away from the Lebanese
border, a triage center was founded in collaboration with Islamic
Medical Association (IMA) Lebanon to transfer the wounded patients
to the hospitals located in the inner regions. The center is equipped
with 2 fully equipped ambulances, a 4x4 patient transport vehicle, and
necessary medical equipment. In sum, medicines and consumables
conveyed to the center worth around 11,9 million $ and, in addition,
wounded people were treated by 3 voluntary healthcare teams.

services were provided to an average of 50-100 patients per
day in this center, which serves the refugees stationed outside
the refugee camps.
• Surgical kits for medical staff and first aid kits for the public were
prepared and distributed in order to reduce the number of causalities
or injuries due to late intervention.

MATERNITY, INFANT HEALTH AND NUTRITION CENTERS
Doctors Worldwide Turkey develops projects to conduct routine check-ups for pregnant
women in addition to health check-ups of pregnant and nursing mothers as well as
vaccination of children and reduction of the mortality rate of children under the age of 5.
After the "Horn of Africa Crisis" in July 2011, 3 nutrition health centers were opened in 2011
and 2012; and they operated for 1 year to help solve the health issues caused by drought
and malnutrition in Somalia. Furthermore, after the needs were evaluated, it was decided to
open a center in Niger; and services were provided in that center until September 2013.
These centers, which were established in cooperation with the UNICEF, diagnosed
children suffering from severe malnutrition, treated children with therapeutic formulas
under the supervision of physicians and nutritionists, and monitored the children for 3 to 6
months to ensure their recovery. A pharmacy was established in these centers to provide
drugs to the patients. Moreover, primary health care services were provided in these
centers to children having health problems not based on nutrition.
PREVENTIVE
HEALTH SERVICES
• We have co-operated with SOYDA (Somalian Young Doctors Association) in the centers

As a result of interviews and researches carried out during our visits to Mauritania
in 2013, the necessity to support maternity, infant, and nutrition health system has
emerged in that region, also project designing for supporting existing centers was
performed.
An obstetric fistula is a hole between the vagina and rectum or bladder that is
caused by prolonged or obstructed labor, early marriage and early childbirth, and
non-availability of medical care during delivery, etc.
The most apparent symptoms of the obstetric fistula are the continuous urinary or
fecal incontinence and bleeding. Nerve damage caused by the leaking can make it
difficult or even impossible for women to walk. Women can reduce fluid
consumption to prevent constant leaking, however, this may create life-threatening
risks due to dehydration. Furthermore, because of the unavoidable odor caused by
the disease, women become isolated from social life. There are thousands of
untreated women, who are grieving because of the loss of their babies, abandoned
on the other hand by their husbands, and disowned by their families. Only 7,5% of
women with fistula are able to access treatment while millions end up suffering from
the consequences of the disease.
DWWT has contributed by performing surgeries on fistula patients and assisting
them to undergo the surgery. Health care teams have been sent to Niger to provide
treatment for 99 cases by performing operations at Lamordé Hospital, Maradi State
Hospital, and Niamey Fistula Centers. By 2013, DWWT prepared a broader program
to include various preventive and medical services on the subject, and developed
projects for the architecture and management of the fistula center by TİKA (Turkish
Cooperation and Coordination Agency) in Niger.
OBSTETRIC FISTULA
CIRCUMCISION
DWWT organizes circumcision services as preventive health service against
sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. In this context, thousands of
children were circumcised in Kenya, Congo, Georgia, Syria, Turkey,
Macedonia and Bulgaria. “Hatay - Yayladagi Circumcision Ceremony” was
organized for the refugee children in Turkey as a part of preventive health
services and against the inconveniences that may occur because of wrong
circumcision practices. In the scope of “We Circumcise the Syrian
Refugees, Be Their Protector“ campaign, DWWT health care volunteers
circumcised 69 Syrian boys living in tent cities and houses in Yayladagi
district, it also donated 50 TL to each circumcised child.

QURBANI MEAT PROGRAM & FOOD AIDS
There are people in many parts of the world, suffering from starvation for
reasons such as natural disasters like floods, tropical storms, long-term
famines, wars, domestic disturbances, disorders on agricultural
infrastructure, lack of education or overexploitation of the regions. The
programs that are dedicated to proper and balanced nutrition are amongst
the most important preventative health services. DWWT contributes to
balanced and proper nutrition by Qurbani meat donation and food aids in
the regions where it provides health services, particularly in Africa where
the world’s 25 least developed and poor countries are located.
We do not increase the number of countries where we implement
Qurbani meat program, because we work to reach rural parts of
countries like Niger, DR Congo, Kenya, Somalia, Ghana, and Sierra
Leone, where we provide ordinarily health services.
DWWT distributes food and hot meals during the holy month of
Ramadan, mostly in the centers where we provide health care
services.

According to international standards, the amount of water that a
person consumes per day Is estimated to be 50 lt. In many
regions of Africa, even if people have water resources, they
cannot reach clean water due to technical barriers. Every year
thousands of adults and children get sick for this reason. They
lose their lives because of diseases related. Access to clean water
is the most crucial preventive health service and is often more
important and efficient than other medical services. Doctors
Worldwide Turkey drilled three water wells in Niger in 2013.
ROUGAGUIN RABA WATER WELL
The well was drilled in the village of Rougaguin Raba in the
Tessaoua district. There are around 500 people living in the
village along with 3000 animals. Before inauguration of the
well, villagers had to walk 3 km. to reach the nearest well.
KATSINAWA WATER WELL
The well was drilled in the village of Katsinawa. There are 1.250
people living in the village together with 1.350 animals. Before
the inauguration of the well, villagers had to walk 3 km to reach
the nearest well.
DILO PEUL WATER WELL
There are 1.300 people in Dilo Peul village and 2.350 animals.
Formerly, they had to walk 5 km to go to the nearest well.

NUMBER OF VOLUNTARY
HEALTH TEAMS IN YEARS
The number of physicians in underdeveloped countries is very low
compared to our country. The number of physicians, capable of performing
the necessary examinations, surgeries and drug treatment for complicated
cases, is very limited. DWWT’s voluntary health care teams are tailored and
organized according to the needs of the regions they are sent to in order to
treat such difficult cases where they are located with less cost. Moreover,
medicines, surgical supplies and necessary equipment used in the treatment
process are conveyed with these teams.
DWWT provided health care on a total of 163 days (45% of a year) through
organizing 20 voluntary health care teams. With the contribution of 142
volunteers, performed 5,332 examinations and 700 operations which
estimated to worth 846,000$, and costs 740,000$, of which 242,000$ was
the voluntary contribution. Additionally, two of the teams were supported
with technicians while seven teams used need assessment tool.
The contribution percentage of DWWT to the mentioned projects is 46%.
The contribution percentage of TİKA (Turkish Cooperation and
Coordination Agency), the strategic partner, is 34% while the the
contribution percentage of local partners is 20%.

AID FOR MEDICINES AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
1.7 billion people on earth (comprising 30% of the world population) do
not use any medicine along their life. However, it appears that 1/3 of the
malaria drugs used in Africa are counterfeit drugs. Saving 10 million
people per year would be possible by only enabling access to
medicines.
DWWT helps underdeveloped and developing countries with medicines
and medical supplies in line with their needs. Medicines and medical
supplies donated by pharmaceutical companies or purchased with cash
donations are conveyed together with voluntary health care teams to
hospitals, clinics, and maternity, infant and nutrition health centers,
which are opened in the regions, to be used prior in emergency
situations.

SOMALIA AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL
Following the beginning of Horn of Africa Crisis in July 2011,
DWWT began to work actively in Somalia. In the first place,
DWWT provided food and cash aid to the region and it was
determined that Somalia needed a fully equipped hospital in
Mogadishu as there was no social insurance system in the
country and the private hospitals provided health care services
with very high cost while their conditions were lower than
required standards. Consequently, DWWT opened Al-Shifa
Hospital on March 6, 2012. It provided free of charge health
care services until the end of 2013. The quality of the service
was on an unprecedented level, due to the consequences of
the war that has been going on for 25 years in Somalia. By the
end of 2013, DWWT transferred the management of the
hospital to a local partner
The hospital has provided free of charge health care services
to the people who do not have the economic ability. Since, Al-
Shifa Hospital has become a reference point not only in
Mogadishu but in whole Somalia, by giving utmost quality
health care services in the country. The hospital is still the only
hospital in Mogadishu, with two modern operating rooms,
neonatal care unit, and ultrasonography devices.

medicine, after improving their experience by working
in several hospitals in Turkey. In addition, voluntary
health care teams visited the hospital periodically to
provide different polyclinic and surgery services
according to their specialty. Moreover, voluntary
health care teams organized in-house training
sessions to Somalian staff.

Somalian doctors, who are trained by DWWT within
the scope of expertise training organized in
cooperation with Istanbul Medeniyet University and
Benadir University, proceed their practical training at
Al-Shifa Hospital. In this regard, Al-Shifa Hospital has
possibly been the only teaching hospital in the last
period.
Thanks to its equipment, Al-Shifa Hospital has
become the most prominent, hospital, the teams
coming from Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health
visiting Sahara Hospital have occasionally used the
operating rooms of Al-Shifa Hospital. Within the
scope of health week, the surgical team of Republic
of Turkey Ministry of Health performed 105
operations in one week at Al-Shifa Hospital in 2013.
Furthermore, DWWT being a member of Al-Shifa
Hospital Management and Somali Health Cluster, has
played a remarkable role in determining Somalia’s 5-
year health strategy by sharing its opinions and
statistics with Somali Ministry of Health, WHO and
UNICEF.
LEBANON BLOOD BANK
Many wounded patients were transferred to Lebanon from Syria during the ongoing
Syrian crisis, as they are sharing land border. Lebanese branch (IMA) of the
Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA), of which DWWT is a member,
has a hospital in Tripoli, Lebanon, called Dar El-Shifa. However, this hospital,
being the only health center to provide free of charge health service to refugees,
was not equipped with a laboratory and blood bank. Thus, the treatment needs of
the patients were impossible to identify. Consequently, in order to determine the
treatment needs of the wounded patients, equipment consisting of following units
has been conveyed.
• Chemistry Analyzer
• Immunology Analyzer
• Electrolyte Analyzer - Esaylyte Plus
• Apheresis Unit
TİKA funded these units, which are worth 350,000 TL, while DWWT
was responsible for purchasing, logistics and installation.
GAZA EQUIPMENT PROJECT
Due to the ongoing attacks and embargoes on Gaza strip, where
about 1.5 million Palestinians live in a 360-km2 area, also due to the
lack of qualifications in the field of health and its branches, some
cases could only be treated by doctors coming from abroad and
some patients were expected to go abroad for treatment.
Accordingly, DWWT donated the following surgical sets to Gaza
hospitals in order to increase the surgical capacity in terms of war
and trauma surgery, also to establish eye phaco surgery, orthopedic
arthroscopic surgery and neurosurgery microsurgery centers, nonexistent until then in Gaza.
• Eye phaco set- European Hospital
• Orthopedic arthroscopic set – Nasser Hospital
• Neurosurgery microscope set – Shifa Hospital
TİKA funded the sets, which cost 184.000$, the equipment was
purchased in Turkey and DWWT provided training to the doctors in
the relevant hospitals on how to use the devices.

DWWT organizes education, certification and specialization programs at associate degree or
undergraduate, and graduate levels in order to increase the capacity of health workers in the countries it
serves and supports scientific research and activities by coordinating scientific congresses.
Turkey-Yemen Emergency Medicine Congress
DWWT, while maintaining its health education
activities in Yemen in 2013, it organized the 1st
Turkey-Yemen Emergency Medicine Congress

with Istanbul Medeniyet University and Sana’a
Science and Technology University. The
congress tackled the health education need
following the Arab Spring.
Somalia National Health Conference
DWWT organized the Somalia National Health
Conference between 7 and 9 November 2013 in
Somalia, to provide long term support to this area,
suffering from serious health problems due to
humanitarian crises and civil wars. The conference,
held in Mogadishu, the capital city, aims to revive
the health sector as well as to encourage the health
personnel living abroad to return to Somalia.
Moreover, Somalian President Hassan Sheikh
Momaoud, Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdoon and
Minister of Health Dr. Maryan Qasim made a
speech during the conference. DWWT participated
in the conference with three delegates while the
United National officials, civil society stakeholders
and nearly 200 other international and national
academicians participated.
HEALTH EDUCATION PROJECTS
Somalia Specialization on Medicine Program
Until January 2013, no institution offered medicine
specialization trainings in Somalia, where the
undergraduate education on medicine is also very
limited. Consequently, Somalian general
practitioners had to develop themselves by either
going abroad for education or by monitoring the
examinations and surgeries performed by
voluntary doctors who visited Somalia. Hence,
DWWT initiated Somalia Specialization on
Medicine Program established between Benadir
University as the only teaching hospital close to
international standards in Somalia, and Istanbul
University, in order to fulfill this deficiency.
Ten practitioners were elected as assistant
surgeons after passing an exam in Benadir
University in 2013 and started to receive
specialization training in ‘General Surgery’ and
‘Emergency & Trauma Surgery’. Doctors
attended training in the main branch of General
Surgery at Istanbul University Göztepe Training
and Research Hospital for 2 months every year.
Trainings given in Turkey throughout 2013
exceeded 1600 hours in total. Additionally, in the
same year, two separate voluntary health care
teams visited Somalia in short intervals to provide
specialization trainings and evaluating exams and
projects.
Ibni Sina Health Vocational School
One of the educational projects carried out to
contribute and increase the capacity of health
workers in Somalia was to open a vocational
health school in Mogadishu, which have an
estimated population of around 2.5 million. Ibni
Sina Vocational School started education with 3
departments including Nursing, Midwifery and
Laboratory Technician in the academic year of
2013-2014 while the following specialities are
planned to be opened in the academic year of
2014-2015; Anesthetist Technician, Radiology
Technician, Dental Technician, Assistant
Pharmacist and Eye Technician.
The training period of the department varies from 2
to 4 years. Moreover, during the education period,
students are offered internship programs in
leading hospitals of the region such as Somali
Shifa Hospital, Fiqi Foundation Hospital and
Benadir University Hospital.

medicines and medical supplies to Syrian refugees living on the border
provinces of Turkey and to the inner regions of Syria.

diseases was evident, thus the doctors are welcomed with joy by the people of
the region. The team that successfully performed many difficult operations in
Somalia gave training to the local staff working at the hospital and the students of
Benadir University Medical School where DWWT organizes Medical
Specialization exams.
During the suicide attack targeting the Supreme Court building in Mogadishu, the

were cleaned. The third wounded had an outpatient treatment.
Dr. Kerem Kınık, President of DWWT, stated that the incidents in Somalia were
very sad. Kınık mentioned that there was no attack against the Red Crescent or
Turkish people until then, and that it was a great misfortune that the Red
Crescent was crossing from this region; "Red Crescent personnel is working with
great devotion in this area to relieve the oppressed people. We are extremely
upset because of the incident however; we are relieved when we think they are
on safe hands in our Hospital. "

a citizen of Canada. He returned to Somalia to assist his people despite the fact that he
was working in the United States of America in decent conditions. Additionally, he spoke
fluent English, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Shawili languages and was a respectable
maxillofacial surgeon. In addition, Fiqi was the Dean of Faculty of Dentistry at Benadir

received. We could only wish safety for him and for our brothers, working with us. He
could not see his child who would be born 10 days before his death. He was martyred

well. May god bless his soul.

The website of DWWT has been adapted to CRM
application so that the donations made from
website are automatically transferred to CRM.
Consequently, Qurbani organization in 2013 has
been managed on CRM for the first time.
SHAREPOINT
Bill Gates Foundation has donated a file sharing
and content management application, Microsoft
SharePoint. Thus, the file sharing, content
management and management of business
process have been monitored on the same portal
in this process. In this context, sites are created
on the portal based on the departments and
authorized users are defined for gaining access
to departments.
Accounting, salaries, finance and stock
management are operated on ERP program,
enabling the management of corporate finance as
well as human and material resources.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an application
intended for customer relationship management
and has been donated by Bill Gates Foundation.
Thanks to growing number of donors,
stakeholders, suppliers and volunteers, DWWT
continued to develop CRM practice in this
process. Hence, Microsoft Dynamics CRM
product provided significant convenience as well
as productivity that a non-governmental
organization needs in terms of recording
volunteer and donors information. In addition to
keeping voluntary and donors database, CRM
program includes applications such as the
project management of Voluntary Health Care
Teams; call center integration, bank integration,
e-mail and SMS integration.
Thanks to Optimum Server's investment made in
2012, a resource has been provided to fulfill the
needs in this field in the middle term.
Virtualization Technology: Due to the increased
volume of data, the Information Technology
department has been able to take advantage of
Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technologies,
which can replace low configuration servers.
Thus, these technologies provide significant
server, space, and energy savings and ensure
continuous and easy-to-manage structure.
