Marko Paşa (a.k.a. Dr. Markos Apostolidis Pitsipios -- Μάρκος Αποστολίδης Πιτσιπιός) -- Served as Physician-in-Chief to Sultan Abdulaziz and at the Sultan's Court (1861-1876) and director (Dekan) of the Imperial Medical School (Mekteb-i Tibbiye-i Sahanes-Yi) in Constantinople/Istanbul, as well as one of the co-founders of Kızılay, the Ottoman Red Crescent. Specifically, on 14 April 1878 he founded together with Dr. Abdullah Bey, Kirimli Aziz Bey and Serdar-I Ekrem Bey, the Hilal-i Ahmer Cemiyeti, later named Red Crescent (Kizilay) serving as the organization's president for 10 years, that is, until his death in 1888.  http://www.omogeneia-turkey.com/id/id/markopasa.html

N.B. The connotation of the Turkish proverbial idiom "derdini Marko paşaya anlat" (tell your trouble to Marko Paşa) begs the question of whether it portrays a caring and compassionate listener of people's problems and grievances (including those of medical students) or is a parody of a nonchalant individual who never actually listened to anyone’s problems :-)
