Congratulations to Dr. Tunç Tiryaki for Receiving the Humanitarian Excellence Award

The UK Parliamentary Society for Arts, Fashion, and Sports awarded Dr. Tunç Tiryaki the Medal of Honour & Outstanding Contribution for his exceptional humanitarian efforts with ISAPS. This award acknowledges his delivery of life-changing medical care to those in crisis.

On what it means to have received the award, Dr. Tiryaki said, "It's a privilege to have been granted a Medal of Honour at the Parliamentary Society Assembly 2024. Being surrounded by leaders, experts, and change-makers, all committed to advancing meaningful dialogue on key societal issues, was inspiring. This honour reflects the efforts of many, and I accept it for all who have stood with me. We must continue to fight for a future where every human—no matter their background or struggles—has the opportunity to live with dignity and health."

As Chair of the ISAPS Humanitarian Task Force, he is part of the committee responsible for advising the Board on opportunities for humanitarian response and to develop a strategy to increase ISAPS' activity in this area.

We are privileged to have Dr. Tunç Tiryaki as an esteemed leader and active member. He is an excellent example of what it means to devote one's time and effort to a philanthropic purpose.
