While the heavy destruction experienced after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes and the pain of nearly 50 thousand citizens who passed away broke our hearts, it was revealed that the necessary precautions were not taken in Istanbul after the 1999 Marmara Earthquake.
While the half-century-old Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty was partially closed after the researches carried out in Istanbul, the Kağıthane State Hospital, which was built in 2005, turned out to be not resistant to earthquakes and the relocation process was started.
