Turkey decided to open a medical school and a higher institute for health sciences, in the town of Al-Rai (Goban Bay) in the countryside of Aleppo Governorate, northern Syria.

The decision was signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and it was published in the Official Gazette on Saturday.

The decision stated that a medical college and a higher institute of health sciences would be opened in the town of Cobanbey and that they would follow the Turkish University of Health Sciences in Istanbul.

Through Operation Euphrates Shield, which it launched on August 24, 2016, the Turkish army was able to clear 2,055 square kilometers of land in northern Syria, including Joban Bey, of terrorist elements.
