OUR GREAT DOCTORS: PROF. DR. FERİDUN NAFIZ UZLUK (1907 - 27.September 1974)

Konya is the capital of the Anatolian Seljuk State; Seljuk is the leading city in the medical world. Just like Sivas, Kayseri and Çankırı, which have an important place in the S21çuklu medicine, Konya has brought famous personalities and made important contributions to the history of Turkish medicine. Among the institutions operating in the field of medicine in the capital city of Konya, we know especially Kemaliyye and Şadi Bey Dar'uş - Healing. It is certain that there are other large and small institutions. With the exception of Kemaliyye, who can only show his existence with his "iwan" today, all of them have disappeared. The excavation to be made after the determination of the location will provide information, documents and support suitable for restoration. Medical establishments have immunities today, even during war days. They are immune and immune from all kinds of rape and attack. But this principle has been abandoned from time to time in history. As a matter of fact, despite all humanitarian principles and agreements, in distant and recent conflicts, medical institutions, albeit from time to time, could not save themselves from various rape and assault. We are of the opinion that such attacks and rapes suffered in their past of seven hundred years had a great effect when the Seljuk medical institutions in the capital Konya were destroyed and could not survive today. Because Konya has a very important and key position in both the capital and Anatolian strategy. It is the crossroads of Anatolia's political, military and commercial roads. Throne and crown fights, religion and sect conflicts, rebellions, internal rebellions, siege and rape of Mongols and Beyliks were staged in Konya and its vicinity for this reason.
