Özet

SARS-COv-2 or a common COVID-19 infection caught all countries off guard. In just a few days, the lives of individuals and the functioning of all societies, starting at the smallest, have changed drastically, their health and lives have been seriously threatened. Many eyes have turned to family doctors who are at the forefront of the fight against the virus. In recent weeks, family doctors have made the highest sacrifice in their lives in the fight. In this extraordinary situation, WONCA Europe made many calls to managers and World Health Organization offices, including our country, wishing that the family doctors in Europe and their academic institutions representing them should not be kept at the lowest possible level. All our knowledge comes from the observations of the doctors, the Ministry of Health and the Media. Talking about Turkey would not be right for us nor for the foreign media because the credibility of the review without seeing and examining all the data will be a question mark. To support the management of pandemic, we need transparent and improved data collection and data delivery in all countries.
