Contrasted with the world&#8217;s poorest nations, in Turkey today death and suffering from infectious diseases and mother-newborn complications are now largely controlled.

The greatest disease challenges are the mushrooming lifestyle-related disorders of HTN, DM, CAD, and neuro-psychiatric concerns including substance abuse, depression, and dementia. The leading health system challenges in Turkey shortages of nurses and doctors and slow development of primary care services.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s greatest threat of all against Turkey may well be the ongoing civil strife just across that nation&#8217;s southern boarder. Such conflict has potential to very rapidly reverse the wonderful gains in health, education, and economic life enjoyed by Turks. In such a setting can be vividly demonstrated the powerful role of skilled diplomats in defending the health and humanity of people emerging from extreme poverty.
