The first official visit of the leaders of medical service of the armed forces of Ukraine to the Republic of Turkey in April 1997 and familiarization with the organization and functioning of the medical service, as well as the training of military doctors for the armed forces of Turkey as a NATO member country, had a defined value in the development of military medical training system in Ukraine.

Due to the intensity of the political dialogue on topical security issues in the foreign policy of Ukraine and Turkey, the further development of relations between the armed forces of Ukraine and the Republic of Turkey, in particular in the military medicine field, is very relevant and can raise them to a qualitatively new level, subject to effective scientific and practical cooperation.
