Allergic / Immunological diseases affect more than 20% of the society and take the first place among chronic diseases. Although the discipline of allergy and immunology diseases is a relatively new branch of science, it is rapidly being developed all over the world. It is estimated that approximately 12 million people in our country have allergic diseases. In contrast, there are very few allergy and immunology doctors in our country.
