The foundation is a non governmental association with no lucrative aim and is recognised of public utility by the Prime Minister decree number 1-99-464 dated July 31, 1989. The foundation serves the following purposes:

• The improvement of diagnostic, therapeutical and preventive tools for the nervous system diseases.
• The acquisition of modern equipment which is not available in our hospitals.
• The training of the medical staff and the scientific research in the field of neurological sciences.

In the foundation, we believe that health is everyone's concern and that it tightly depends on scientific research and continuous training. This is particularly applicable to the nervous system diseases. We also believe that in addition to the nation's efforts in this field, it is essential that we have the assistance from institutions, associations and private bodies to ensure that our patients affected by the nervous system diseases be treated as their counterparts in developed countries. For this reason, we are requesting of national and international associations or bodies and individuals to help our foundation.
