During these challenging times, Turkish Cargo continues its mission to act as a bridge that transports the much-needed medicines and medical equipment to Turkey from across the world and from Turkey to the countries that needed them.
With that in mind the global cargo carrier transported the rapid test kits that can give results in 15 minutes to Turkey from China.
