Dear Friends, “The most valuable thing within the universe is life. The most valuable mission is to serve to life.” As medical professionals, we have a unique role in society, which also comes with unique responsibilities. We all try to do our best while caring for our patients in hospitals and clinics. However, our duties do not end there. I am very honored to have an opportunity to lead a group of medical professionals who dedicated to the same goal with enormous compassion. TAPRO is founded by a group of medical professionals to serve more to the society. Providing additional platforms and more opportunities to medical professionals who want to gather around the same table to come up with new ideas for the benefit of general public is one of TAPRO’s essential priorities. Like all other society based volunteer organizations, those efforts will be more efficient and contributory to the community as much as medical professionals join and support the events, educational activities and the projects of TAPRO. I would like to welcome you to TAPRO and look forward to seeing you in our upcoming events! Sincerely, Cihan Duran, MD
