Even though the reformists and revolutionists were not always appreciated while they are alive, the pacemakers, whose value is appreciated after many years, carve out a niche in history and are recognized by the society. The physicians, surgeons, and politicians influence the society deeply in the historical process. Dr. Behcet Uz, born in 1893, has been greatly admired for his medical skills, his personality promoting common action with the community when he was a mayor, and his revolutionary health care plans executed when he was the Minister of Health. Dr. Uz has been a recognized and an appreciated statesman by many.

Data from the Republic Archives of the Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry, Archives of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Official Gazettes and private newspapers of the period and face to face interviews performed with the relatives of Dr. Behcet Uz were taken into account.
