CTP Health Policy Statement: Goal of Universal Health Insurance

The Republican Turkish Party (CTP) Health Committee announced its health policies, titled "Step-by-Step Transformation in Health," at an event held at the KTÖS Hall.

The Republican Turkish Party (CTP) Health Committee stated that if they come to power, they will reduce the burden of health expenditures on families by ensuring a gradual transition to Universal Health Insurance (GSS). The event held at the KTÖS Hall was attended by CTP General President Sıla Usar İncirli and committee members led by Member of Parliament Filiz Besim.

Filiz Besim emphasized that health is a fundamental human right and noted that if they come to government, they will share a strategic plan containing 158 targets with the public in the first months. The committee stated that they aim to implement full-day service in public health institutions and are working to strengthen physical and personnel infrastructure within this scope.

With a five-year national program, it is planned to screen the society for diabetes, heart, cancer, and kidney diseases, to establish an elderly care home in every region providing medical care, and to create a system where medications can be tracked. Additionally, the aim is to expand 112 emergency services and establish a referral chain between health centers and hospitals where the patient's next appointment is scheduled by the system.
