Implemented by the Ministry of Health, the new model combining home healthcare, palliative care, telehealth, and family medicine is being applied in Kayseri and İzmir.
Minister of Health Kemal Memişoğlu announced in his speech at the Turkish Parliamentarians Association Program that the new health system integrating home healthcare, palliative care, telehealth services, and family medicine has been launched as a pilot in Kayseri and İzmir.
Minister of Health Kemal Memişoğlu made evaluations regarding Turkey's priority health issues, ongoing efforts, and new projects during the Turkish Parliamentarians Association Program. Within this scope, it was reported that a new system has been established that combines home healthcare, palliative care, telehealth services, and family medicine under a single roof.
Within the framework of the new model, it is aimed to direct patients discharged from intensive care units to appropriate care units according to their conditions and to monitor them remotely in a home environment. Minister Memişoğlu stated that this practice, currently being implemented as a pilot in Kayseri and İzmir, will be expanded across all of Turkey in the future.
