New Prescription Exemption Preparation for Patients Using Medications with Reports
Patients with a specialist physician's report whose treatment remains unchanged will be able to obtain their medications directly from the pharmacy without having to get a prescription for the duration of the report.
Under the planned new model, patients who possess a drug report issued by a specialist physician and whose treatment undergoes no changes will be able to obtain their medications from the pharmacy during their report periods without having to visit a doctor again for a prescription.
New Convenience in Medication Procurement
Patients who possess a drug report issued by a specialist physician and whose treatment undergoes no changes will be able to obtain their medications directly from the pharmacy for the duration of the report's validity.
According to the planned practice, patients will not need to go back to a doctor to have a prescription written, and medications will be dispensed in monthly doses throughout the report period.
Preparations Continue
This regulation, aimed at providing great convenience to patients, has not yet entered into force, and preparation studies regarding the matter are ongoing.
Home Healthcare Services
While medication and disability reports for citizens aged eight and over are issued in their homes, family physicians are enabled to prescribe an additional one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine medications.
Pilot Implementation Process
The new system is currently being maintained as a pilot implementation in two cities, with the objective of expanding it nationwide across Turkey in the future.
