In the name of Allah, who endowed us in
the way of goodness.
Following a hectic and busy year, we are
very pleased to share with you the
achievements of Doctors Worldwide Turkey.
Our main ambition is to prepare an activity
report that will increase our quality year after
year. Besides the emergency medical
services we deliver in extraordinary
circumstances, we have focused our main
efforts on various medical programs and
trainings in order to serve with greater
capacity. While performing our activities, we
act basing on principles of independency,
accountability, and transparency. Moreover,
as a humanitarian aid organization, we
comply with corporate development
standards in Strategic Planning, Quality
Processes, Corporate Automation, Internal
and Independent Auditing and Internal
Training fields. As we all know, there will
be a need for goodness as long as the
world exists. We will be tested according to
the choices we made in a world where some
people are hungry, while others are full up,
and where some people are powerful while
others are weak. We will either hope and let
sleeping dogs lie; or we will not get into our
beds without feeding our hungry neighbors.
As the people who choose the second way,
we are operating within the framework of
Doctors Worldwide since 2000. As you may
review in details in this report, we have
pushed our limits to be wherever there is a
need.. We have strived to keep up with our
motto: “There and everywhere”.
We have never questioned the identity of
those we help, and have run for help by
considering that all human beings are
entrusted to each other.
Science defines the term ‘healthy’ as
satisfying the physical and moral basic
needs and a well-being where natural
harmony and balance are established.
However, there are various parts of the world
in which people are deprived of an access to
health care which is a fundamental human
right.
In fact, the majority of the World’s population
is struggling with natural or man-made
disasters such as diseases, poverty, war or
drought. Even worse, most of them fall victim
in these conditions without fighting back. As
we are aware of all the events through mass
communication tools, we take on new
responsibilities and become a part of the
event; and eventually our fate coincides with
the fates of others. In comparison with the
previous years, it is clear that we are
striving to increase the number of good
deeds through the rising number of
volunteers and donors who trust in us.
Evidently, we do not claim that we solve all
the problems of the world; but we are
responsible for delivering aid to people in
need and reaching out to them as much
as possible.
Let me express my gratitude to our
volunteers for their priceless efforts, to our
donors who share whatever they have in their
hands with those waiting for help for their
sincere contributions, to our Young Doctors
Worldwide for their enthusiasm combining
the ideals of DWW Turkey and youth, to our
professional field staff working under hard
conditions, to our professional staff working
in the central or representative sub offices for
their dedication, to our stakeholders who we
cooperate with to execute projects for their
confidence in us and to Board of Directors
and Board of Auditing who defines the
strategy of the structure for their generosity
and to whoever shows us a harbor to shelter
during our journey.
We hope that you will be with us in
this journey.
There and Everywhere
Best Regards,
KEREM KINIK
Doctors Worldwide Turkey

WAR AND CRISIS-
STRICKEN REGIONS SYRIAN CRISIS
In March 2011, the Syrian regime responded to public’s
demand for freedom with military crackdown and massive
attacks in Dara province. The number of casualties,
wounded, and refugees who are forced to leave their houses,
are increasing day by day.
Following the clashes that took place during this period and
according to the United Nations data, 200,000 people lost
their lives in Syria. According to The Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) data,
more than 3,200,00 Syrians seek refugee in the neighboring
countries. 1,147,000 of these refugees live in Lebanon,
520,000 in Jordan, 200,000 in Iraq, and 137,000 in Egypt.
While the number of refugees living in the camps in Turkey is
estimated to be 223,921, the number of refugees living
outside camps is more than 891,000. Actual figures are
thought to be even greater as the refugees are not all
registered through UNHCR. In addition, 7.6 million people
became internal refugees in Syria. The exact number of
injuries is unknown because in some cases the regime arrests
them as they reach the hospitals for treatment.
Every day, hundred of Syrians who are injured by firearms
and cannot reach relevant institutions to get health care
services are waiting to be rescued without getting proper
treatment. Doctors Worldwide Turkey began to work in order
to help the asylum seekers in Lebanon as soon as the events
had started. At the Wadi Khaled region on the Syria-Lebanon
border, a Triage Center was established in cooperation with
Islamic Medical Association (IMA) / Lebanon in order to
ensure the safe transfer of the injured people to hospitals in
inner regions by deploying first responder teams. Afterwards,
a blood bank and a laboratory base was formed in Dar El
Shifa Hospital and a considerable amount of medication
shipment was carried out. Furthermore, voluntary health care
teams were also sent to Tripoli. As the ripples of the crisis
were felt on the Turkey border, health stations were set up in
Yayladagi, Hatay, and Suruc and a pharmacy in Syria.
Medical supplies composed of surgical bags and large
amounts of medication were delivered to the region. A
circumcision feast was arranged for the Syrian infants in
Yayladagi, and food aid was provided to families during
Ramadan.

people had to migrate to neighbouring countries such as Cameroon,
DR Congo, Congo, and Chad, due to political impotence arose in
Central African Republic towards the end of 2013; and violent

Doctors Worldwide started their studies in Palestine in 2001 by
organizing advanced diagnosis and treatment trainings on psychic
trauma for pscyhiatric employees. In the following years, they focused
on providing emergency health service during the attacks on Gaza strip,
followed by rehabilitation services. Upon the restart of Israeli attacks on
July 8, 2014, the amount of the aid provided to Gaza is increased as a
part of Disaster and Emergency services. After an initial review,
medication worth of USD 200,000 is purchased and delivered to Gaza

by reaching the miners' families living around the school, and the
children to be treated were determined. Twenty children aged
between 2 and 12 were enrolled in 6-session Children-centered
Game Therapy and Puppet and Art Therapy between June 18 - 26.
Moreover, therapeutic toy sets were distributed to 100 children who
were unable to obtain the therapy. In total, 108 sessions were given to

Ebola disease has a fatality rate ranging between 25% and 90%; and
it is transmitted through direct or indirect contact with the blood or
bodily secretions of the patient or through contact with disintegrated
skin or even with intact skin, although the root cuse is still
unexplained. The West African Ebola outbreak, which began in late
May 2014, was declared to be a third-degree emergency in July and
an International Health Emergency Status in August by the WHO.
Since the outbreak was detected, the number of people suffering
from this disease has been reported to be over 20,000. The number
of people who lost their lives has been reported to be over 9.000 in 9
different countries. 837 of the health workers who played a major role
in the fight against the epidemic caught Ebola virus and 490 of them
lost their lives.
Doctors Worldwide Turkey started a project to send personal protective
equipment in order to support the health workers and treatment centers
in Sierra Leone and Liberia, which are the most affected countries by the
epidemic. By this way, it would be possible to enable the health workers,
who are spread thin, to continue their work and to fight with the
epidemic. In the scope of the project, aid containers consisting of a total
of 740,000 medical equipment including protective masks, isolation
garments, anti-splash masks, Tyvek masked dresses, and Tyvek
protective garments were sent to Sierra Leone and Liberia Ministries of
Health.

Doctors Worldwide Turkey have undertaken the
operating costs of the Gambela Kamina, Lumata,
Lualaba, Ngoy-mani, and Malemba clinics located in the
rural areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo since
March 2014. The common thread to these clinics is that
they are in rural areas where the need for health and
humanitarian aid is at the highest level. The clinics in
these regions, where population density is high, were
established in 2005 with the support of the Doctors
Worldwide UK Office. These clinics, each of which
completes nearly 50 births per month, and serves nearly
150 mothers and babies with health care services, have
started to be supported by the Doctors Worldwide
Turkey starting from 2014.

QURBANI AID
In 2014, as it does every year, Doctors Worldwide Turkey made
Qurban feast organisations in many countries in order to improve
health and living conditions. These organisations were initiated in line
with the needs of the countries in which health care projects were
carried out. In 2014, the crisis-stricken regions and regions with
increasing number of refugees are also included. Kenya,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, Gambia, Somalia, Ghana,
Chad, Cameroon, and Central Africa are determined as countries
that need aid within the scope of 2014 African Qurbani Campaign
prepared by Doctors Worldwide Turkey. The number of qurbani
animals is determined according to the reports on previous projects
and local needs of each country. It has also been observed that the
sacrificial qurbani are primarily delivered to the people living in rural
areas with health problems caused by malnutrition. In addition to
these countries, qurbani meats were distributed in Syria and Bosnia.
Health teams of volunteers were send to Chad, Niger, and Bosnia
and primary health care was provided during the feast.

WATER WELLS
Access to clean water is among the most important
preventive health care services and is often more
important and effective than therapeutic services. In
many parts of Africa, people have trouble reaching clean
water although they have water resources. Every year,
thousands of adults and children get sick and some of
them lose their lives due to diseases.
As part of preventive health care services, Doctors
Worldwide Turkey have drilled water wells in Africa since
2013. In 2014, 15 water wells were drilled in Africa.

In Africa, this rate is 50%. However, it appears that 1/3 of the
antimalarials in Africa are counterfeit. Just by enabling access to
antimalarials, 10 million lives can be saved per year.

SOMALIA DR OSMAN FIQI (CHIFA) HOSPITAL
With the outbreak of the Horn of Africa Crisis in July 2011, Doctors Worldwide Turkey
began to actively work in Somalia. In the first place, food and cash aid was provided in
the region. Then, as a result of the needs analysis, it was determined that a general
hospital was needed in Mogadishu. The Chifa Hospital was opened on March 6, 2012
and provided free health care services to more than 100,000 people until the end of
2013. At the beginning of 2014, the Chifa Hospital was transferred to the FIQI
Foundation, a local partner, on the condition that it will support the hospital's budget and
the patients in need will be treated free of charge. The name of the hospital is changed
as Dr. Osman Hospital which is the only fully fledged hospital in Mogadishu including a
newborn care unit, ultrasonography devices, and two modern operating theaters.

SOMALIA SPECIALIZATION PROGRAM IN MEDICINE
Until January 2013, there had been no specialization in medicine in Somalia,
which had limited medical education at the undergraduate level. Somalian general
practitioners had to improve themselves and get specialised in their field either by
going abroad or by following the examinations and operations of voluntary doctors
who come to their country. In February 2013, in order to help fill this gap, Doctors
Worldwide Turkey started the Somalia Specialization Program in Medicine under
the roof of Benadir University, the only university in Somalia which is almost at
international standards, with the support of Istanbul Medeniyet University and
TIKA.
14 doctors in the General Surgery branch and 7 doctors in the Internal Medicine
branch are continuing their specialization in medicine programs. The 3-year
education program has been conducted in Somalia for 10 months and in Turkey
for 2 months in a year.
ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY IN UGANDA
Uganda Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) was established in 1988 to provide
education for English-speaking countries in Eastern Africa with the support of the
Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC). It has more than 15,000 graduates
from 70 undergraduate programs in 6 faculties ranging from Faculty of Law to
Faculty of Islamic Studies.
IUIU, the first and only university founded by Muslims in Uganda where there are
only 25 universities, has launched the Faculty of Medicine project on
October 27, 2014 with 55 students under the founding partnership of Doctors
Worldwide Turkey. The project aims to increase the number of Muslim
health workers, doctors and specialists in the region.
In the IUIU Habib Faculty of Medicine, supported by TIKA, Doctors
WorldwideTurkey have provided voluntary (free) instructor support to manage the
branch education programs and give department courses and have donated a
large amount of books to the library of the Faculty of Medicine . Within the
framework of the project, it has been planned to increase the number of instructors
and to support the research laboratories.

The World Said “We are with you Syria!”
As we enter the third year in Syrian War, volunteers led by DWWT gathered in Sultanahmet
Square, flew red balloons to symbolise their hope to end the bloodshed soon with the
participation of several non-governmental organizations. In the speech which he made on behalf
of the group, Dr. Kerem Kınık, the chairman of the board of DWW Turkey, said; "We gathered
together to express that we are together with the Syrian people in the 3rd year of this grief.
Together with Doctors Worldwide Turkey and several
other organisations, we will shout out to the world
once again that this dirty war should stop. We will
say 'We are on your side Syria!'". Recalling that
160,000 people have lost their lives in Syria so far
and 2.5 million Syrian are refugees. Kınık has also
reported that two thirds of the hospitals in this
country have been destroyed and providing
medication and vaccination has become a problem.
Kınık, stating that he calls out to the whole world,
said; "Those who have authority and power, those
who have responsibility! The sufferings of Syrian
people is enough! It has been 3 years and these people, away from their homes, are patiently
expecting that this will come to an end". Kınık also said that people who have not lost their
humanity and conscience say "We are with you Syria" in a great geography from America to the
Pacific today, adding that they repeat this as a call of humanity no matter what their religion,
language or color. Stating that they want the war and suffering come to an end, Kinik noted that
the red balloons symbolise freedom and hope. Kınık also said, "We will fly these red balloons in
our hands together hoping that the war and suffering ends, the conscience of mankind returns
back to this direction and the responsible institutions step in." The group, including Syrian refugee
children, then lit the lanterns and flew the balloons to the sky.

Albinism Conference in Tanzania
Doctors Worldwide Turkey went to Tanzania to give health care services to
Albinism patients in Tanzania and to attend a conference on Albinism. Albinism is
a genetic condition that arises when the melanin pigment that gives color to the
skin, hair, and eyes is partly or completely absent. One in every 17 thousand people
in the world has Albinism. This situation, which may affect any human being and
living creature from any race, means a life in more severe conditions for some people.
At the request of the Embassy of Darussalam, DWWT participated in a project
on diagnosis, treatment, and educational support for Albinos in Tanzania. Within
the scope of the project, DWWT, participating in a conference on Albinism
held in Darussalam conducted examinations on 244 Albinism patients and they
distributed protective medication. A voluntary health team of 5 people

miners died in the mine disaster in Soma. The children were aged between 2-12.
The project, which was implemented with the great contributions of the Soma
Psychosocial Support Coordination Office established by the Ministry of Family
and Social Policies, Manisa Provincial Directorate, was carried out at Soma
Kurtulus Elementary School between June 18-26, 2014. Within the scope of the
project, child-centered play therapy was applied to the children. This therapy
created by Virginia Axline and developed to be more systematic by Garry
Landreth. Puppet therapy and art therapy were applied to 2 children instead of
child-centered play therapy, as they were older. Each child received a 40-minute
treatment once a day. A total of 108 sessions of game therapy were applied to 18
children within 7 days. The therapies were made by a pedagogue, clinical
psychologist, psychological counselor, play therapists. In the project, 18 children
were taken on 6 sessions of therapy. Moreover, Therapeutic Toy Sets were given
to 100 children with the contribution of Turkish Airlines employees.

We Crossed Continents for
Refugees
We attended the Istanbul Marathon together
with our vice president Havva Sula, our board
member Muhammed Karabacak, the
president of the Young Doctors Worldwide
Muhammed Atak, and our 142 young
volunteers and we crossed the continents to
draw attention to the problems of refugees
and their health problems..
‘Travel Health Training’
DWWT, who traditionalised the Disaster Manager, First-aid, and Travel Health
trainings organised a 'Travel Health and First-aid Training' which also includes
the measures to be taken against epidemics such as Ebola. The program, which
was attended by 50 people from different occupations and age groups, containes
vital information for businessmen, journalists, and humanitarian volunteers who
travel frequently. Recently, a curfew was announced in Sierra Leone due to the
Ebole virus outbreak and the UN declared that a financial resource of more than
1 billion dollars is needed in the fight against the epidemic. These were the signs
showing that Ebola would continue to occupy the world's agenda as a serious
threat. The Ebola epidemic, which continues rapidly with an average of 70.8%
fatality rate, killed 2,296 people in Africa, particularly in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra
Leone, and Nigeria. Over the past few months, 144 health workers who have
struggled with Ebola virus disease have lost their lives. Particularly in certain
regions of the western African countries where the Ebola epidemic is actively
undergoing and the sub-Saharan African countries, there is a high risk for the
ones travelling to these countries. Whereas in areas where the Ebola virus is not
present, other diseases such as malaria and yellow fever also pose a significant
risk for the travellers.

Central African Mobilisation
The Doctors Worldwide Health Center, which was opened to serve 20,000
refugees who took shelter in the Central Mosque in Bangui, the capital of Central
African Republic, became a hope for Muslims living in the Central African
Republic. The building, formerly a municipal building in the center of the district,
was transformed into a clinic where patients could be examined, inpatient
treatment is provided, and laboratory tests can be made. The clinic also hosts a
pharmacy. The DWWT clinic, where 1 doctor, 3 nurses, 2 midwives, 1 laborant,
and 1 pharmacist serve, includes 1 laboratory, 1 pharmacy, and 6 beds. Up to
now, more than 2,000 patients have been treated in our clinic where an average
of 50 patients are treated daily.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
IT DEPARTMENT
Inline with the enlarging data structure of Doctors Worldwide Turkey, the IT department
developed system and back up solutions and made improvements taking the increasing
personnel number, number of donations, and amount of donations into consideration. These
improvements mainly focused on the creation of a more powerful information system
infrastructure, increasing the efficiency of the existing system, and technology and process
renewal.
PHYSICAL SERVER
Physical Condition; The IT department has expanded the data and back up capacities, and
in order to avoid losing the daily recorded data due to any disruption, they made daily and
weekly backups and increased the sustainability and efficiency of the system. Our systems
(Blade Servers) work with a Failover Cluster (the system continues to work through the
running server in case one of the 2 servers fail) structure. In addition to this, this year we
have also activated Disaster Recovery (the system continues to work, without any data loss,
through the Backup HP server in case both of the Blade servers fail).
WEBSITE
The Quick Donation section of the Worldwide Doctors website has been renewed by a
responsive design, which is compatible with mobile devices like Iphone, Ipad, and Android.
In addition to our existing donation methods, Debit Card usage is also available as well as
credit cards. The "3D Secure" system (payment security system) has also been added,
which was frequently asked by the donators in 2013.
As in 2014, the IT Unit will continue focusing on strategic technology products, the efficiency
of the institution, the continuity of donator and volunteer management, and the recording of
follow-up processes in 2015.
In addition to the licenses worth 60,000USD purchased in 2012, the license donations in
2014 by Microsoft (Bill Gates Foundation) that worth 132,000USD are as follows:
Crm (Customer Relationship Management)
The donator, stakeholder, supplier, volunteer, data, in order words the CRM data, which
grows day by day, developed even more in 2013 and 2014.
Data singularisation (duplicate record clearing) was applied on the CRM data, two times
in the last two years. Qurban Organization Management was taken over CRM,
the deficiencies in 2013 were eliminated, and in 2014, the entire organization was carried
out via CRM. As a result of the healthy results obtained through the Web Donation -
CRM integration, and by integrating with 4 banks this year, the data was transferred to
CRM properly.
Sharepoint
In 2014, the IT department has activated the Sharepoint application and has adapted - and
still continues to adapt- it to our organisation to enable the follow-up of file sharing, content
management, and business process management through a common portal.
Sites were created on the portal of each department. Department specific intelligent forms
have been created and digital approval mechanisms have been established.
