by severe health problems. As a part of the Project, Semey Medical University and Başkent University became strategic partners to

Başkent University Medical Education Model, the modernization of the defined clinics as well as the development of the financial and
strategic decision making of the governance were the main tasks of the project. The success of this partnership leads to new projects
