Turkey has been an attraction center and a

leading country in his own region within the
field of health.
In the upcoming period, we will transform our country into a health base not only
for our own people but also for the countries in the region. In order to increase
the health quality and set the costs and effective health services balance, we will
extend the city hospitals, the construction of which we have started, to the four
winds of the country.
Recep Tayyip ERDOAN

Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey
Prof. Dr. Recep AKDA
Minister of Health of the Republic of Turkey
Turkey will be number one in the field of Health Tourism all around
the world.
Turkey is ready to get the share it deserves in world health tourism market thanks
to the improvements and regulations of reformative character it has realized in
the field of health in the last ten years.
Turkey, in respect of its geographical location in the midst of the Middle East,
Europe, the Balkans and Africa, is in a position to become a leading country in
health tourism thanks to the well trained doctors and health staff it has, its accessibility, its visa-free travel opportunity for 62 countries and its high health technology. We are far more ahead particularly in terms of countries with which we have
historical and cultural ties.
While providing quality health service for our citizens in hospitals belonging to the
public and private sectors, all kinds of preparations have been made to enable
citizens of regional countries to take advantage of the same service. While foreign guests who come to Turkey for treatment are being treated without facing
any problems, they can in the meantime find the opportunity to take a beautiful
vacation.
Turkey, which ranks first in Europe also for its healing thermal waters, stays the
course of becoming the first target country in the provision of thermal tourism
services. With its hospitable culture, Turkey will distribute cure to more people.
Besides traditional patient care, care of the elderly, physically or mentally disabled patients is also significant. Regarding the elderly and patient care, I think,
social accumulation is also important. Our society is very hospitable and we have
a deep-rooted culture about serving people. These features provide convenience our country in the fields of health care, elderly and disabled patient care.
A great number of patients arrive our country from Europe, USA, Middle East and
neighbor countries. I believe that, in the near future, Turkey will be number one all
over the world because of the fact that Turkey provides both quality and confident service offer and the prices are low.
Hoping that with this Guide you will find the chance to get closely acquainted
with Turkey and the healthcare services standard offered here, I wish you healthy
days ahead.

TURKEY, A Very Colorful Mosaic Culture

Turkey is one of the worlds enumerated tourism heavens, which has been able to
bring history, culture and unique beauties from past into the present.
Turkey is a privileged country with its four seasoned regions, green forests, mountains suitable for ski sports, its clean seas, strands, hot springs, web of hospitable
people and its world famous cuisine.
This privilege also comes to the forefront in Health Tourism. Thanks to the transformation of our health system in the last years and the important investments in the
private sector, services have started to come into offer at a level on which it can
compete with the health services in the developed countries. Health tourists from
all quarters of the world continue to come to our country for treatment purposes.
Turkey, which also ranks first in Europe with its healing thermal waters, proceeds
on the way to becoming the first ranking country also in the provision of Thermal
Tourism. Turkey will distribute cure to more people with its hospitable culture.
We hope that you heal in Turkey, a very colorful mosaic culture with its splendor
in simplicity and magnificence in tranquility

Great Potential in Export of Services: Health Tourism

Health Tourism is a notion which contains both vacation and treatment opportunities. Turkey has an important potential in the sense of reconciling these two
elements.
When the tourism and health service facilities necessary for Health Tourism are
perfected by necessary professional organizations, our country will become an
important brand in this field.
Health Tourism can gain an important foothold in our countrys export of services.
The export of services is one of the important means to contribute to financing
primary deficit by increasing our exports without increasing imports. Within this
framework, health tourism, by meeting the demand of foreign exchange, is a
highly value added sector in closing the balance of payments deficits. Health
tourism is of considerable importance especially within the scope of Turkey Tourism Strategys target of reaching 50 million tourists, 50 billion USD in tourism income
and 1350 USD in per tourist income in 2023.
It is seen that, the number of health tourists who travelled to Turkey in 2010 has
reached an approximate 110 thousand people. A brand will be created in the
name of our country by means of the quality service to be provided with competitive prices in the Heath Expertise Free Zones, which are planned to be established.
I hope that the Turkey Health Tourism Guide will be beneficent for our country.
Prof. Dr. Nihat TOSUN
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health of

the Republic of Health
In parallel with the Health Conversion Programme, Health Tourism

has Started to Develop Quickly in Our Country
Today, quality health service is being provided in our private and public hospitals at
a level which can compete with the west and most of our hospitals are equipped
with high technology. The health institutions in our country, especially those in Ankara,
Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya and Adana admit and treat a great number of patients from
abroad.
The private health sector has rapidly developed in the last years and perfect facilities
have been opened. Today, our 42 health establishments have international accreditation. Each year more than 100.000 foreign patients are being treated in our hospitals.
After the health conversion programme has been launched in our country, quality,
fast-paced and economic health services have transgressed our boundaries and
have been offered to all people in the world. Erstwhile, thousands of people used to
travel from our country to western countries for treatment. Nowadays, however, we
hardly have any citizen who travels to western countries for treatment.
As will be seen throughout works, especially Cardiovascular Surgery, Oncology, Brain
Surgery, Orthopaedics, Plastic and Esthetic Surgery, Ophthalmics and Orthodontology
are very much in the foreground in our country. In western countries, patients waiting
time is very long, health services are very expensive and the insurance covers have
started to be restricted. In Africa and many of our neighbor countries, there are no
quality health services, well trained human resources and advanced technology. For
these reasons, a lot of patients come from this nearby geography to our country for
treatment purposes.
The private health sector plays a locomotive role in Health Tourism. The private health
sector provides for % 95 percent of Health Tourism services. However, foreign patients
are admitted to public hospitals as well. Within the scope of the Tourists Health, the
role of the public hospitals gains great importance in regions and processes in which
tourists cant get Emergency Health Service by the private sector. On the other hand,
many foreign patient applications especially in Ankara and Istanbul will be inevitable
when health campuses are launched.
Health Tourism, especially Medical Tourism, is rapidly developing in our country. As
Ministry of Health, all kinds of infrastructure and regulatory works have been taken up.
The Health Tourism Coordinatorship, which has an important role in the exercise of this
work, has also been established for this purpose. Following the Health Conversion Programme, we will continue to provide the most perfect and economic health service
to both our citizens and our surrounding neighbors.

General Overview
of Turkey
1. HISTORY
1.1. State Rule in Turkish States during the Islamic Period
Turkic tribes such as the Qarluks, Yagmas and Chigils
which took sides with the Arabs during the Battle of Talas
between the Chinese and the Abbasids in year 751, converted to Islam and from that time until the 10th century
Turks have substantially become muslims.
Conversion to Islam has not only affected the social and
cultural life but also state rule. Expeditions named as the
Turkish world rule ideal and embarked on with reference
to the idea that Turks were, by taking the authority to state
rule (kut) from God, heaven sent to bring order and
peace to the world, were embarked upon for spreading
Islam with the embracement of Islam and the notion of jihad.
Karakhanids were the first turco-islamic state. Ghaznavid and Seljuqi sovereigns
have used the title of Sultan.
1.2. The importance of the Seljuqi State from the Viewpoint of Turkish History
After the gates of Anatolia were opened by the Great Seljuqs, the idea that Turks were
the new patrons of Anatolia was imposed upon the Byzantine Empire by the Anatolian
Seljuks. Without sufficient progress being made, the Crusades had begun. These raids
corroded the state but the Seljuqis still knew how to survive. Welfare and happiness
continued in Anatolia until the Mongolian Incursion. With the architectural artifacts
built, the Turkish mark was left on Anatolia. This is why Anatolia has been named Turkey since the 12th century.
2012
With the Mongolian Incursion Turkmen migration into Anatolia increased. These clans
were placed along border tribes so they would protect the borders. As the borders
were called Marks (boy), these clan beys were called Margraves (boybeyi). With the
Seljuqi States loss of sovereignty, the margraves started to act independently. Hence
the Era of Anatolian Beylics had begun.
14
1.3. The Ottoman Empire

The history of the Ottoman Empire is studied and assessed by dividing it into specific
periods. These periods are termed as:
The Beylic Period (1299 and before), the
Foundation Period (1299-1453), the Period
of Rise (1453-1579), the Stagnation Period
(1579-1699), the Period of Decline (16991792) and the Period of Dissolution (17921922).
The Beylic Period: The Ottoman Beylic was
a beylic belonging to the Kayi clan. Ertugrul Ghazi came and settled in and around Sogut during the Seljuqi period. Upon the
decease of Ertugrul Ghazi, Osman Bey took control of the beylic.
The Foundation Period (1299-1453): Osman Bey, with his conquests, ascended to the
position of successor of the collapsing Anatolian Seljuqi State. It is acknowledged that
after the conquest of Bilecik, Yarhisar and Inegol the Ottoman State
was established and 1299 is recognized as the year of establishment in historical research. In the time of Orhan Bey, who took control after Osman Bey, the conquests gained pace, Bursa and Iznik
were conquered. Orhan Bey declared independence by coining
his money and the Ottoman Beylic became the Ottoman State.
During the Foundation Period, the Ottoman advancement spread
through the Balkans.
Edirne was conquered, Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia were seized
in the Balkans. At the same time the beylics established in Anatolia
after the Seljuqs, fell under the rule of the Ottoman State. During the
Foundation Period, Osman Bey, Orhan Bey, Murad I, Yldrm Beyazid, Mehmed I and Murat II have subsequently ascended to the Ottoman State power. The
Foundation Period ends with the conquest of Istanbul.
The Period of Rise (1453-1579): After substantial territory was conquered in the East and the
West and the borders of the State expanded, it is acknowledged that the Ottoman State,
which became an Empire with Fatih Sultan Mehmeds conquest of Istanbul has thereby
entered the Period of Rise. Fatih Sultan Mehmet, who ascended the throne after Murad II,
conquered stanbul in 1453 and Istanbul was declared the new capital of the empire.
During the Period of Rise, Fatih Sultan Mehmet, Beyazid II, Yavuz Sultan Selim, Suleyman the
Magnificent and Selim II subsequently rose to the throne. Especially during the era of Suleyman the Magnificent (1520-1566) the empire lived through its brightest era.
The Stagnation Period (1579-1699): The Stagnation Period of the Ottoman Empire started
with the decease of Sokullu Mehmet Pasha. Sokullu Mehmet Pasha served as grand vizier
during the rule of Suleyman Magnificent, Selim II and Murad III. Sokullu Mehmet Pasha is an
important statesman who worked for the political and military success of the state during the
14 years of his viziership and his decease is acknowledged as the transition into the stagnation period of the Ottoman Empire.
With the ascention of inexperienced heirs to the throne and the weakening of the central
authority, inner insurrecions have occurred, the restlessness has widely increased with the
janissary rebellion against authority.
The deterioration of the manorial system and the economic problems brought about by the
Expeditions to Iran and Austria have also played an important role in stagnation.
During the stagnation period Murad III, Mehmed III, Ahmed I, Mustafa I, Othman II, Murad IV,
Ibrahim I, Mehmet IV, Sleyman II, Ahmet II and Mustafa II subsequently ascended to the throne.
The Period of Decline (1699-1792): The period between the Treaty of Karlowitz signed in 1699
and the Treaty of Jassy signed in 1792 is recognized as the period of decline. The Treaty of
Karlowitz is the first treaty by which the Ottoman Empire lost a great amount of territory in
the west. After this date, the main politics of the state was based on regaining its lost territory. During the Period of Decline, Mustafa II, Ahmed III, Mahmud I, Othman III, Mustafa III,
Abdlhamit I and Selim III subsequently ascended the throne.
Period of Dissolution (1792-1922): The period in which the Ottoman Empire underwent the
period of collapse and disolution is named as the Period of Dissolution. This period starts with
the Crimean War which the Ottoman Empire declared against Russia in 1787 to take Crimea
back, the incidents with occurred to the disadvantage of the Ottoman Empire with the participation of Austria in the war and the subsequent signing of the Jassy Treaty in 1792.
During the Period of Dissolution, Selim III, Mustafa IV, Mahmud II, Abdulmecit I, Abdulaziz I, Murad
V, Abdulhamit II, Sultan Mehmet Reshad and Sultan Mehmet Vahdettin subsequently ascended
to the throne. With the abolition of the sultanate in 1922 the Ottoman Era came to an end.
1.4. The Turkish Republic

The fall the Ottoman Empire went through in an economic and military sense, caused the empire territory
to be occupied after World War I, on 23 Nisan 1920 the
Grand National Assembly of Turkey was established,
after the war of independence waged by the Turkish
nation under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatrk
the foundation of the Republic of Turkey was proclaimed at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey on
29 Ekim 1923. With the proclamation of the Republic,
important changes were experienced in Turkish cultural and art life. As the new state was built upon national
culture, studies on the Turkish language, literature and
history have gained speed in this period.
The foundations of the new state were based on Turkish culture above all. This novelties experienced in a
cultural sense, is also seen in state rule and system.
Novelties such as the proclamation of the Republic, the abolition of the caliphate and sultanate and
adoption of the latin alphabet have provided for the
emergence of the modern Republic of Turkey.
2012
In accordance with the principle of Statism, most investments have been made by the state during the
first years of the Republic. The multiparty era started in the 1950s, with the ascension of
the Democratic Party to power. In this period, a great part of investments were made
in roads and factories and private enterprises started to increase. In the years between 1950 and 2000 Turkey signed and acceeded many international conventions.
16
A series of radical reforms, which aimed at the transformation of muslim village people
into a modern bourgeois society and a single nation and their attainment of the right
to self determination have been mentioned and recognized as the Atatrk reforms
and are still being continued with. With these revolutions, Turkey has become one of
the most developed and modern countries in countries with a muslim majority. The
Republic of Turkey is a democratic and secular rule of law state. The United Nations,
NATO, the European Parliament and the Organization of the Islamic Conference are
some of the international organizations Turkey is a member of. Since 3 October 2005
negotiations on full membership to the European Union started.
As a result of its liberal economic expansions after 1980, Turkey has accelerated its
technological and industrial attacks.
After 2000
Recep Tayyip Erdoan was punished by four months imprisonment on grounds that he
committed the crime of Public incitement and overt instigation to religious and racial
hatred and hostility as proscribed by the Turkish Penal Code, during the speech he
held in Siirt on 12 December 1997.
When his Justice and Development Party, which he founded on 14 August 2001 won
the general elections on 3 November 2002, Abdullah Gl formed the 58th Government of the Republic instead of Erdoan, who was banned from elections. Thereafter
Erdoans punishment was precluded and he headed the government.
1.5. Presidential Elections

The possible candidacy of Prime Minister Erdoan for the
presidential elections which were to be held because President Ahmet Necdet Sezers term in office was due to end
on 16 May 2007, was opposed foremost by the Republican
Peoples Party and other political parties.
With the start of the presidential election process, the Justice and Welfare Party nominated Foreign Minister Abdullah
Gl. On the account of the fact that the necessary number
of MPs during the plenary session of the elections must be
367 and that therefore the internal regulations of the Assembly were being violated, the Republican Peoples Party appealed to the Constitutional Court for the cancellation of
the elections and suspension of the election process.
By its verdict, the Constitution Court ruled that the minimum
number of MPs for the session must be 367. As a result, Turkey, with a decision unprecedented in its history, had to call
for general elections because the Grand National Assembly of Turkey couldnt elect a President.
On 28 August 2007, esteemed Abdullah GL was elected
as the eleventh President of the Republic of Turkey by the
Grand National Assembly of Turkey. He still continues his tenure as President. During the 2011 elections, the Justice and
Welfare Party won 326 seats in the Grand National Assembly with %49,95 of votes. Despite
the increased voting rate, the number of its elected Members of Parliament decreased
compared to the previous elections. Being in power for the third time, the Justice and Welfare government proved that it has earned the trust of a great mass. The Republican Peoples Party took %25,94 of votes.
By 2000s, Turkey has come to spend strenuous effort in peace in the Middle East. In this
period, our relations with Israel started to stagnate. As a result of such standing, Turkey has
gained a great sympathy in the Arab World.
1.5. The Key Country in Europes Future is Turkey

The European Union (EU) and Turkey, have the will to share a common future since 50 years.
After the application Turkey made in 1959, it signed an Association Agreement with the European Economic Community in 1963, in which membership was clearly foreseen. This situation
shows that Turkey has had an important strategic role since the formation of the EU began.
The conclusion of the Customs Union in 1996, developed Turkeys economic unification with
the EU. With the recognition of Turkeys candidate status in 1999 a comprehensive reform
process started in the country. After the decision was taken by the EU member countries that
Turkey had sufficiently fulfilled the political criteria for membership, accession negotiations
started in 2005. The political, economic and social transformation process, which gained
pace with the accession process, brought Turkey a bit closer to the EU every day. Today,
the fastly changing global dynamics, and common interests, make the Turkey-EU unification
more vital and indispensable for both sides. The EU has a key role in Turkeys modernisation.
Turkey play a key role in EUs reaching a stronger, more secure and more stable future.
Turkey is the key to Europes Success in Global Economy
2012
Turkey is the 16th greatest economy in the world and the 6th greatest economy in
Europe. It is a member of the G20 as one of the 10 fastest growing markets. In the
years between 2004-2008 the average growth of GDP was % 6.06. According to the
OECD data, Turkey will become the country with the third highest growth rate after
China and India in 2017. The share of the services, industrial and agricultural sector in GDP is %60, %30 and %10
respectively. Turkeys modern
industry, brought the country into
the position of Europes number one
producer of Televisions, DVD players
and busses as well as the third greatest steel and ceramics tiles. Being the
number one producer of boron in world
ranking, Turkey ranks second in glass production and 4th in the production of luxury
yachts. It has the standing of the gratest cement exporter and the second greatest jewellery exporter. Adittionally, Turkey is Europes second greatest textile and ready to wear supplier
and third greatest supplier of vehicles.
18
Turkey is the seventh most popular tourist attraction. The 2010 European Culture Capital
Istanbul however is the seventh most visited city
in the country. The direct investment input in Turkey reached 10 million Euros in 2008. The direct
investments which Turkey made in more than 50
countries however amounts to 1,7 billion Euros.
Turkey, which is located at the easternmost of
the West and the westernmost of the East, has a unique strategic position in its region thanks to geographic, cultural and historical elements. Turkey is in the position
of an effective actor and a reliable mediator in critical regions such as the Middle
East, Central Asia, the Black Sea basin, the Mediterranean and the Balkans.
1.6. Turkey in the Role of the Alliance of Civilizations

Turkey, with its preponderantly muslim population, is the only muslim country where
secular democracy is deeprooted. This quality which Turkey holds shows that the religion of Islam and democratic values are reconcilable. Being one of the few countries
which are members of both Western and Islamic institutions, Turkey leads the Alliance
of Civilizations alongside Spain under the auspices of the UN.
Turkeys accession to the EU will strengthen the influence of the EU as a global actor,
will increase the Unions reliability in the World of Islam by showing that the EU is not an
exclusive Christians Club but a union of values and extend the world the message
that the Clash of Civilizations can be prevented.
2. SOCIAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, GEOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL STRUCTURE
Being a Mediterranean, Black Sea, European and Middle Eastern Country, Turkey is surounded on three sides by water, its birdsview geographic layout is roughly akin to a rectangular.
Turkey is a republic with a democratic regime.
2.1.Geography and Nature
Turkeys territories are at the intersection of 36-42 northern parallels of latitude and 26-45
eastern meridians. It is roughly akin to a rectangular and its width is 1.660 kilometres. It takes
the space of 814.578 km, including lakes. The length of Turkeys land borders is 2.573 km, its
length of strands is 8.333 kilometres, including islands. Turkeys neighbors are Bulgaria and
Greece to its west, Georgia, Armenia and Iran to its east and Iraq and Syria to its south. Turkey
is one of the richest regions in the world in terms of history.
More that half of the country is comprised of heights with an altitude exceeding thousand
metres. Approximately one third of it is covered with lowlands, uplands and mountains of
average altitude, while 10 percent of it is mantled with depressed areas. The highest and
most mountainous areas are in the east. The northern part is roughened by the Northern
Anatolian Mountains, while the southern, eastern and southeastern parts are roughened by
the Taurus Mountains.
The highest point of the country is the tip of Mount Ararat, which reaches 5.166 metres. The
foremost flatlands are ukurova Lowland, Konya Lowland and Harran Lowland. The longest
white water, the source and mouth of which falls within the countrys boundaries, is the 1.355
kilometres long Kzlrmak River. The largest natural lake is the Van Lake which covers an area
of 3.713 km. The Atatrk Dam Lake however, which spreads an area of 817 km is the largest
artificial lake in the country.
The surface area of Turkeys largest island Gkeada is 279 square kilometres.
2.2. Climate
Turkeys surrounding by water on three sides, the stike of mountains, and the variety of land
forms made way for the formation of climate types with different traits. More milder climates
prevail in coastal areas by force of sea effect. The Northern Anatolian Mountains and the
Taurus Mountains, hinder the sea effects penetration into the inner lands. Therefore continental climate prevails in the inner lands. Although Turkey is on the same parallel latitude with
Spain for instance, relatively less water shortage is suffered from as there are heavy rains and
snow on the Anatolian Plateau with a more than 1000 metres altitude.
ukurova Lowland, where agriculture has been engaged in for 8000 thousand years, alongside the Aegean Region, Bafra and aramba Lowlands are considered to be some of the
most exuberant territories in the world. With the exception of tropical vegetables, %90 of the
vegetable and fruit varieties present in the world are being grown in Turkey.
2.3. Population
According to the address-based population registration system, the total population throughout Turkey
reached 74 million 724 thousand 269 in 2011. The city
with the highest population again was Istanbul, followed by Ankara and Izmir.

20
Since Turkey is a secular country, the religious and state affairs are separated. Nearly
% 98 percent of the population of Turkey is muslim. The formation of political parties
with religious or ethnic names is proscribed by the Constitution. In general, conservative parties are those which speak for the religious sensitivities. During the first years of
the Republic, the conclusion that religious affairs could not be carried out outside the
boundries of the state was reached at and the decision that it should be controlled by
the state was taken. To this respect, the Directorate of Religious Affairs was established
on 3 March 1924 as an instution subordinate to the Prime Ministry. This institution is in
charge of providing religious service to indiviuals and the administration of Muslims
places of worship such as mosques. The freedom of belief or non-belief, the right to
perform or non-perform religious norms are protected by the Constitution.
2.5. Regime

the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatrk. The official language of Turkey is Turkish. Today, official Turkish is being spoken by a hundred million people. A secular democratic
administrative mentality is present. The judiciary is carried out by the Turkish Grand
National Assembly, the executive is carried out by the government, while the judiciary
is carried out by independent courts. Its capital city is ANKARA.
3. ECONOMIC STRUCTURE
Despite the uncertainties in the world markets and the public deficit crises particularly in
Europe, the year 2011 was a year in which Turkish economy reached a high growth pace.
The Turkish economy, which during the first two quarters of the year reached high numbers
in growth with % 11,6 an %8.8, continued its stability in growth during the third quarter and
concluded the third quarter with a % 8,2 growth rate.
Despite the uncertainties in the European economies, Turkey has ascended to a leading
position in its region. Countries like Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal in the Euro zone have
come to the brink of bankruptcy.
Turkey which owed 23,5 billion USD to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) decreased its
debt to less than 5 billion in year 2011.
In parallel with the pace gained in the growth numbers, the unemployment rate in Turkey
according to the most recently disclosed numbers, decreased by 2,5 points compared to
the same period the year before and receded to % 8,8.
The year 2011 was Turkeys golden age in exports. The rising trend continued despite the
uncertainties in the European contries economies, which are Turkeys most important export markets. According to the numbers provided by the unions of exporters, export worth
122,1 billion USD was made during the 11 months of the said year. The exports within the last
twelve months however broke the record of the Republics history and reached 133,9 billion
USD. The primary export items are vehicles and supply industry, ready to wear and garment
industry, coal and steel products, chemical materials, electrical and electronik goods. As a
result of the reforms which started in 2002 in Turkey, an important rise in the capital inflow was
observed.
By providing for the hot money flow into the country, the foreign currency reserve in the Central Bank were approximately 85 billion USD according to the most recently announced figures. Despite the many economic crises it suffered throughout its history, the Turkish economy
has overcome the global crises suffered in the last year with success. It has preserved its title
of being the worlds 16th greatest economy. With its stable economic policies and successful
government, its target of becoming one of the 10 greatest economies in the world in 2023

4. TOURISM IN TURKEY
Tourism in Turkey develops in parallel to the positive course in the economy. With the
rise in the number of tourists who visit Turkey, the contribution of tourism income to the
economy has increased. In the year 2010, tourism income was at 20 billion 806 million
708 thousand 444 USD.
As Turkey is positioned within the temperate zone, interest in sea touism is particularly
high. The Aegean, Mediterranean and Southern Marmara are important for sea tourism.
Because the average altitude of Turkey is high, it also has an attraction for winter tourism. Skiing resorts for winter tourism are available especilly in the mountains of Uluda
in Bursa, Erciyes in Kayseri, Palandken in Erzurum and Kartalkaya in Bolu. Turkey is a
country which also draws attention with its historical features.
Since prehistoric times, Anatolia has been host to many civilizations such as the Hitites,
Assyrians, Sumerians, Babylonians and Persians. Artefacts which have survived these
periods make a great contribution to the development of tourism. Aditionally, Turkey,
with its new and quality facilities, large spectrum of shopping facilities and its great
number of expertised travel agencies and airlines has become an important tourist
attraction.
With all these specialities, Turkey gained its share of world tourism market by %2.7 and
the European tourism market by % 5.1 and has thereby ranked 8th worldwide by tourist inflow and 9th by tourist income. Turkey has hosted an average of 33 million tourists
in 2011. Turkey has ranked among the Worlds Best Ten Countries for Foreign Visitors.

transplantation, orthodontal therapy, physical
therapy, rehabilitation etc. Although it has different definitions, we can summarize health tourism as the travels taken from the place of
residence to another location (domestic or abroad) for the purpose of getting service
for any health reason.

of land, sailing against the wind in seas and bays and
unifying with the nature. This travel is also one which will
take you to the special beach of Cleopatra, the eternal flame of the Mount Olympos and the thousands of
archaeological remnants of ancient civilizations.

transfer flights to Izmir, Antalya and Ankara or the opportunity of direct flights. Daily charters
connect Istanbul to the main cities in USA, the Middle East and Asia.

Its various geographical properties, the
variety in its climate brought about by its
geographical distinction and its standing
as a bridge between three continents renders the Anatolian Peninsula the holder of
a plant diversity rare in the world. While the
total number of plants in Europe is 12.000 ,
this number is 9.000 in our country.
Our country is superior to Europe with respect to its plant diversity. For as much as
our country is superior to Europe with respect
to endemic plants, which only grow in a certain region or the homeland of which is a
specific region, it is also one of the few regions in that respect. While the total number
of endemic plants in Europe is 2.750, this number is 3.000 in our country. Merely in Antalya, the number of endemic plants is 600.

Health System
In Turkey
1. HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME

The Anatolian geography, in which Turkey takes place has
been the regions health center since ancient times. Thermal
springs, historical hospitals and Turkish baths are the traditional
examples of health services in Turkey. During the last years of
the Ottoman State and also the Republic of Turkeys 80 years of
accumulation, Turkish citizens and tourists coming to our country have been served with well trained doctors, modern hospitals and developed health services.
Thanks to the Health Transformation Programme, put into
practice during the last nine years by taking advantage of all these experiences, great
progress and breakthrough in the health services, which are to set the world an example, have been lived through in Turkey.
Health Transformation Programme
The main purpose of the Health Transformation Programme can be defined as The
provision of quality and sustainable health services accesible for everyone in an effective, quality and equitable manner.
With the man-oriented Health Transformation Programme, Turkey has accomplished
in eight years which developed countries could not accomplish in twenty years.
2012
1.1. HEALTH POLICIES BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1980-2002
34
Article 60 of the Constitution states that Everyone is entitled to social security and the
State takes the necessary precautions to provide such security and institutes the essential
organizations. Moreover, according to Article 56 of the Constitution, it is decreed that
The State single handedly plans and regulates the provision of service by healthcare
organizations with the purpose of enabling
everyone to continue ones life in physical
and spiritual health and the realization of cooperation by increasing the savings and efficiency in man power and material power.
The State performs this duty by availing itself
of the healthcare organizations and social institutions in the public and private sector and
supervising them. The same Article provides
that General Health Insurance can be established.
The main components of the Health Reform works during the 1990s were as follows:
1. The establishment of General Health Insurance by gathering the social security institutions under one roof,
2. The development of primary healthcare services within the frame of family practice,
3. The transformation of hospitals into autonomous healthcare undertaking,
4. The transformation of the Health Ministry into a structure by which healthcare services with priority in preventive healthcare services are planned and supervised.
As is seen, this period has been one during which important theoretical works have been
undertaken but sufficient field could not be found for their implementation.
1.2. HEALTH IN YEARS BETWEEN 2003 2011

According to the World Health Organization, a countrys healthcare system must be de-
signed in a way as to provide the necessary healthcare to everyone in high quality. This
service must be effective, at bearable costs and in a socially acceptable fashion. It is suggested that bearing these factors in mind, each country develops its own unique healthcare
system.
112 Emergency Healthcare services have started to be provided not only in cities, but also
in villages, the number of station houses has been increased, our ambulances have been
equipped with the latest technologies. Means of conveyance by air and sea have been
added to the sysytem.
Preventive healthcare, maternal and infant health being in the first place, primary healthcare services have been strenghtened, the application of family practice, which is one of
the key elments of the contemporary understanding of healthcare, has been launched and
spread across the country. In eight years, our country has suceeded in gaining ground in
infant mortality rates which developed countries have gained in thirty years. It has yielded
the same success in maternal mortality rates and in eight years it made the progress OECD
countries have made in maternal mortality in 23 years.
Thereby, the quality of healthcare services has increased, peoples access to healthcare
services became easier and while the citizens satisfaction by healthcare services was %39
in 2003, it exceeded %80 in 2011.
1.2.HEALTH TRAINING AND THE STATUS OF HEALTH LABOR FORCE IN TURKEY

Along with the newly established
ones, the number of faculties of
medicine reached 74 in 2010. 61
of these faculties provide medical
education, while 53 of these faculties provide education in specialty
in medicine. Moreover, 61 training
and research hospitals subordinated to the Ministry of Health provide
training in speciality in medicine.
On the other hand, the number of
faculties of dentistry has reached
31, while the number of faculties of
pharmaceuticals has reached 19,
both numbers including the newly
established faculties. Furthermore, there are a total of 257 health related faculties and
higher education institutions subordinated to the Council of Higher Education. On the
other side, there are 283 vocational high schools of health subordinated to the Ministry
of National Education.
Education in health is on a continuous rise.
While the number of the faculties of medicine was 21 during the academic years of
1986-1987, this number rose to 56 during the academic year of 2008 2009. While the
number of students enrolled in the said faculties rose from 29.759 to 35.454 during the
same period, the number of faculty members rose from 2.007 to 8.695. Accordingly,
the number of students per academic staff declined from 14,8 to 3,9. With regard to
the number of students per academic staff, it is seen that we are better off than many
European countries.
The number of doctors is on a continuous rise
By the year 2010, there are a total of 111.211 doctors, 31.978 of them being practitioners,
2012
58.258 of them being specialists and 20.975 of them still continuing their education
in medical expertise. 63.622 of these doctors work at the Ministry of Health, 25.015 of
them work in universities, while 22.574 of them work in the private sector.
36
While the number of the faculties of dentistry was eight for the 1983-1984 academic
year, this number rose to 31 during the 2008-2009 academic year and 19 of these
faculties provide ongoing education. The number of students attending the faculties
of dentistry rose from 3.598 to 6.322 and the number of members of faculty rose from
504 to 1.355. While the number of students per academic staff was 7,1, this number
declined to 6,4. There are 19.264 actively working orthodontologists in our country.
5.776 of those work in the Ministry of Health, while 900 of them work in the universities

3.112 EMERGENCY AMBULANCE SERVICES

In the last eight years, our strength in emergency patients conveyance services has improved sixfold. We are aware that every passing second matters for emergency patients.
We can now reach % 93 of the cases in our cities within ten minutes and %96 of the cases
in rural areas within thirty minutes. In year 2002, only %20 of our citizens living in the rural area
could benefit from the 112 emergency services. Nowadays however %100 of our citizens liv-
ing in rural areas benefit from these services.

Providing Service a Record Number of Patients with All Ambulances

While 740 cases were treated per day throughout the country in 2001, nearly 5000
people have been provided service per day in 2009. The number of cases conveyed
reached 2 million 700 thousand by 2011.
42
Faster and more Wide Spread Service

While the number of people who benefit from 112 Emergency services were 350 thousand in 2002 , 2,1 million people benefited from this service in 2010. Thereby we made
a sixfold increase by 2002.
This number indicates a nearly fivefold increase compared to year 2002.
The European Union Standard for Ambulances and Medical Transportation Vehicles
(CEN 1789) has been reached with regards to collecting the patient at the scene of
incidence with fully equipped ambulances and conveying him to the hospital.
It has been ensured that the official and private ambulances have the equipment and
hold the properties by TS-EN 1789 European standards.
Snowtrack Ambulances Rotate for Life

Snowtrack Ambulances can reach a speed of
80 km per hour on 60 centimetres thick snow.
As of June 2011, 194 snowtrack ambulances
have been serving our citizens in regions where
conveyance problems are suffered from due to
geographical and climate conditions.
Moreover, 18 snowplow ambulance have been
put into service for regions where snow blocks
the roads. Thus, even the harshest weather conditions cannot hinder rendering service.
Moreover, we have included 15 ambulances to our team, which are capable of conveying at
least four inpatients in cases of smash-ups and collective incidences as well as pediatric patients.
World Class 112 Emergency Ambulance Network!
The number of land ambulances, which was 618 prior to 2002, was increased to 2.782 by
2011 and the European Union Standard for Ambulances and Medical Transportation Vehicles has been reached in terms of service quality. The ratio of reaching cases within ten
minutes has been raised to % 95.
Air Ambulances - 112 Emergency Reaches Emergency Patience by Taking Wings
We launched the air ambulance system, which is only present in developed countries, for
the first time in our country in 2008. As of June 2011, we deployed 19 helicopter ambulances
in 15 city centers so as to provide country-wide service.

Flying Hospitals: Turbo and Jet Aircraft Ambulances

Furthermore, as of April 2010, we started conveying our emergency patients and wounded
citizens from home and abroad with three turboprop aircraft ambulances (designed to land
also on short runways), one of which is turbo-jet and long-distance. The turbo-jet aircraft
ambulance and the turboprop ambulance having a flight range of 5.300 km. and 3500 km
respectively, are both fitted with medical equipment capable of conveying two inpatients
and providing all kinds of medical interventions under intensive care conditions.
Moreover, with the transport incubators available in the aircrafts, the conveyance of new
born infants under intensive care conditions can be realized. The helicopter ambulances
however, having a flight range of 450 km, performs important tasks in the conveyance of
emergency cases between hospitals, on site intervention and direct conveyance to hospitals in cases of traffic accidents as well as the rescue of citizens marooned in mountains in
need of emergency help.
As of 10 January 2012, the number of patients conveyed with the ambulance helicopters 20.980 hours of flights was 10565, while the number of patients conveyed with
ambulance aircrafts 5789 hours of flights was 2059. A service procurement tender for
a four strecher turbo-jet aircraft ambulance has been lodged. From 2012 onwards, five
aircraft ambulances will be put into service.
Sea Ambulances are the Rescue Teams of the Seas
In emergency cases, foremost being the drowning cases,
in which conveyance to hospital after sea accidents is
necessary, four sea boat ambulances to work in cooperation with the Coast Guard Command have been
put into service. The sea boat ambulances, which have
initially commenced service in the Marmara Region, are
planned to be spread across all coastal regions by 2014.
Motor Ambulances Turkeys Fastest Ambulance is the Moto Ambulance
Part of the emergency cases take
place in the narrow streets of the city
and at places where inner city traffic
is heavy. While difficulties are being
faced with reaching the patients in
these regions with land ambulances,
sometimes it becomes impossible.
With the 52 motorcycled ambulances put into service, emergency aid
services have come to be provided
more efficiently.
2012
To Facilitate Life: 112 Emergency Call

All calls made to the 112 Emergency

number reach the Command and
Control Center. These calls are answered with the authorized personnel in this department and the closest ambulance is swiftly instructed
to the scene of incident. Pursuant to
the instruction of the ambulance to
the scene of incidence, the hospital
emrgency department, to which the
Staff with knowledge of four dinstict foreign languages (English, German, Arabic and
Russian) are employed at the 112 Emergency Call Centers for tourist, the location of
patients unable to speak are identified via satellite, the location of emergency caller
is immediately identified, even if he cannot state his address.
The communications infrastructure is supported by satellite phones installed in all cities.
Tracking Emergency Cases over Electronic Maps
All ambulances are tracked over digital maps. The unmoving ambulance, which appears in red color, turns into blue when it starts to move. Thereby, the digital command
center tracks which ambulance moves with which speed, to which address it is driven,
which road it takes and whether it carries a patient or not.
4. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT SERVICES
Within the frame of the Health Convergence Programme, we have renewed the public hospitals technologically and increased their capacity. We have started the procurement of
services in state hospitals in public private partnership. The number of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) devices, which was 18 in all state hospitals in 2002, rose to 247 in 2010. The
number of computerized tomography (CT) devices, which was 121 in 2002 rose to 375 in
2010, while the number of ultrasosgraphy (USG) devices rose from 495 to 1352 in the same
period. A similar rise was also manifested in the private sector and university hospitals.

We have launched the Patients

Rights Unit in all of our state hospitals.
We have targeted healthcare
services by which the rights of
the patients are not violated,
whereby patients are informed
and their permission taken at
every stage, can undergo all
kinds of treatment without discrimination, choose their doctors and institution, and the
rules of privacy are sensitively
observed. With this purpose, we
have launched Patients Rights
Units according to the relevant
regulations in all of our state
hospitals.
Our citizen extends his needs
in written or verbal form to the
Patients Rights Units, which we
have established to guarantee
of his right to receiving service
and the necessary help is extended to him and corrective
actions in his favor are taken.

The information of the patients who wish to undergo transplant at centers where kidney
transplant is made countrywide, is registered with our Ministrys National Organ Transplant
Waiting List Programme. Previously, the Organ Transplant National Coordination Center
(NCC) was taking these registries into account and merely the procedures concerning the
patients awaiting kidney transplant and the procedures concerning the donors organ distribution were undertaken.
We have set up a new National Organ Transplant Information System, which includes all
information concerning organ transplants (kidney, liver, heart, pancreas and small intestines)
to be made from a living or dead person across the country and the information concerning
patients awaiting organ transplant. This system is followed primarily by organ transplant centers, regional coordination centers (RCC) and national coordination centers (NCC).
Organ transplant is the most useful in replacement therapy and the only type of treatment
available for some organs. In some chronic liver and cardiovascular diseases however the
situation is worrying, since there are no auxiliary therapies such as dialysis, the patients may
lose their lives if they cant find an organ to replace theirs.
The nine Regional Coordination Centers in the cities of Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Adana, Antalya, Samsun, Diyarbakr, Erzurum and Bursa work in cooperation with the National Organ and
Tissue Transplant Coordination Center, which they are subordinated to in cases of donated
cadaver organs distribution. We also use our Ministrys aircraft ambulances in the transport
of cadaver derived organs to the patient whom the organ will be transplanted.
We have launched registered Kidney Transplant Centers in 59 hospitals, Liver Transplant Centers in 34 hospitals, Heart and Lung Transplant Centers in 16 hospitals.
In the year 2011, the first arm and face transplant operations realized at the Akdeniz Hospital have
been the solid proof of the progress made by Turkey in the field of medicine. This success made an
overwhelming impression not only in our country but also made tremendous impact worldwide.
6. TISSUE AND CELL TRANSPLANT SERVICES

In order to provide tissue for the institutions and organizations which work in the field of
organ and tissue transplant services country wide, a Musculoskeletal Tissue Bank has
been launched (Ankara University) of the Bone Bank (Atatrk Training and Research
Hospital). We have made new registrations with the purpose of increasing the Tissue
Typing Laboratories, which are of great importance for the organ and Bone Marrow
Transplant services, and enabling rapid tissue typing in every region. Thereby we increased the number of Tissue Typing Laboratories to 32 across Turkey.
Since the number of bone marrow transplant, which must be an approximate four
thousand per year in proportion to our countries population has been limited to 800900 per year due to the lack of matching donors. More than three thousand people
per year are awaiting their lines for transplant. In most cases of bone marrow transplant, most donors are unrelated to the patients and most of the marrows can be
provided from abroad.
For reason that the number of bone marrow donors in Turkey are less than 40 thousand
overseas screening is necessary to find the matching bone marrow. The paid procurement of the matching bone marrow found in overseas screening by the Social Security
Institution opened a few doors for those in need of transplant. We have registered new
centers and assigned official authorisation to them with the purpose of making active
transplant centers available in every region and the improvement in the provision of
service. As of June 2011, we have a total of 45 transplant centers available, 14 being
pediatric and 31 being for adults.
2012
Regarding stem cells, we have become one of the outstanding countries in the field
by allowing mesenchymal practice in Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) cases in line
with scientific criteria. Ten patients have undergone experimental stem cell transplant
treatment of spinal cord injuries during a study which we have permitted in Ankara
University. In line with the studies we have undertaken with the purpose of decreasing
the number of patients awaiting cornea transplant and increasing the number of donated cornea derived from cadavers, we have increased the number of eye banks to
16. We have increased the number of cadaver derived cornea tissue by putting the
plan of linking a tissue source center to the eye bank into effect.
52
6.1. Stem Cell Coordination Center of Turkey (TURKK)

In order to avoid confusion in matters of stem cell and stem cell treatments, which
have come into prominence during the last years, we established and launched the
Stem Cell Coordination Center of Turkey (TURKOK) by the Minister Decree no. 22739,
date 16.06.2008. With the TURKOK Project we aim at:
Gathering the coordination of centers of hematopoietic stem cell transplant under
one roof,
Increasing the facilities for patients awaiting hematopoietic stem cell transplant with
the establishment of National Bone Marrow Bank,
Reaching the European Union standards and strengthening the administrative capacity, ensuring the coordination of the hematopoietic stem cell procurement for
patients awaiting transplant by screening the cord blood donated by volunteers
with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing at home and the cord blood donated to the
National Non-Relative Cord Blood Bank.
Ensuring in the shortest time possible the coordination of hematopoietic stem cell procurement from overseas banks for patients awaiting transplant but for whom no volunteer can
be found at home.
Acquiring a total of 50.000 cord blood donation by 2013,
Making 2.500 or more transplants a year,
Establishing Regional Coordination Centers in 29 health regions initially in order to reach
the targeted number of volunteer donators,
Establishing Volunteer Donator Centers in required numbers as assessed by the Regional
Coordinators in every region,
Establishing National Non Relative Cord Blood Bank and cord blood specimen collection
centers (Cord blood donation by hospitals of our Ministry, university and private maternity
hospitals)
Decreasing the number of patients awaiting treatment and the patient mortality rate by
increasing the transplant awaiting patients chance of undergoing the highest quality
treatment in the shortest time with the coordination of domestic and overseas centers.
Initiation of the accreditation process of hematopoietic stem cell transplant centers with
international institutions such as the European Bone Marrow Donor Information System
(EM-DIS), Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide (BMDW), The World Marrow Donor Association
(WMDA), European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), ensuring integration and coordination with them.
Covering the organization costs by 2013 and becoming cabaple of covering the management costs without drawing on supplemental appropriation,
Sponsoring domestic and overseas scientific projects with its revenue and providing technical assistance.
6.2. Replantation Surgery
A betimes replant of a limb lost due to an accident or similar reasons is a race against time
and it can last for hours. The problem with replantation arises when there is lack of coordination between healthcare organizations when directing the medical case to the right center
and troubles are endured during organization.
In the past, patients who would apply to hospitals with complicated hand injuries or amputations, would have to wander between hospitals because of not being informed and being
referred without being brought into stable condition, while those patients who were referred
to hospitals by 112 ambulances were suffering time loss due to the difficulties endured in
finding the appropriate center. Nowadays, approximately 750 replantation surgeries are performed anually. The number of microsurgery practice, including complicated hand injuries,
is around 1500. The number of specialist doctors working actively in this field is around 75. We
plan to raise this number to 300 when the works undertaken for the provision of subspecialty
expertise in the field of hand surgery are completed. As a result of the studies we have undertaken, we have made a list of centers belonging to the public and private sector. Presently,
weve built the capacity to treat cases of complicated hand injuries and amputation cases
at the hospitals belonging to the Ministry of Health, universities and the private sector in 22
city centers.

7. TRANSBOUNDARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES

7.1. Dynamic and Healthy Foreign Relations
We are in a comprehensive and intensive
cooperation with many countries, foremost being the countries with which we
have cultural ties. In order to lay the legal foundation for these cooperation actions we have signed Health Cooperation
Agreements with several countries. While
we had 39 Health Cooperation Agreements with 33 countries in 2002, we have
87 health cooperation agreements with
53 countries at present. In these agrements we have given weight to the exchange of healthcare staff and experts,
exchange of information and experience
in all matters concerning health, ensuring direct contact between scientific institutes
and the endorsment of the commercial enterprises by the scientific sector. In the recent period we have also been sharing our knowledge, technology and experience
with many countries, foremost being Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Palestine, Balkan
countries, Central Asian and Caucasian countries and have launched many activities
such as
1. giving technical assistance for the setup of healthcare systems,
2. training healthcare staff in Turkey and their home countries,
3. organizing congresses and conferences,
4. performing surgeries.
On the other hand, Minister of Health of the Republic of Turkey Prof. Dr. Recep AKDA
chaired the 56. European Regional Committee Meeting held in Copenhagen and
participated by delegations headed by Ministers of Health and high ranking officials.
Again, Minister of Health Prof. Dr. Recep AKDA co-chaired the 63. World Health Assembly participated by 193 member countries between 17-21 May 2010.
2012
7.2. Education Works
56
Within the scope of the above mentioned

Health Cooperation Agreements or in line
with the requests of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and the Prime Ministrys Turkish International Cooperation and Development
Agency (TIKA), we provide short and long
term training for many countries healthcare personnel (doctor, nurse, health officer, technician etc.) in our country. These
trainings are realized at our Ministrys central organization and the Training and Research Hospitals of our Ministry.
As a result of these trainings, the foreign healthcare personnel put the knowledge and
experience whih they have acquired in our country into the service of their own people. During the visits paid to these countries by our delegations, it has been observed
that these personnel provide service more successfully an more efficiently upon reurning to their country, while some of them promote their careers.
These kinds of works both provide support for these countries human resources and
infrastructure development, while at the same time contribute to Turkeys advertisement in these countries.
7.3. Patient Treatments

Within the framework of our Health Cooperation
Agreements with the Ministries of Health Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Northern Cyprus, Sudan and Yemen, we provide free treatment for
patients, the treatment of whom is not possible in
their own countries on a specific space-available
basis. Upon request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we also treat patients of foreign nationalities,
whom we deem appropriate in our country.
Furthermore, we will provide free treatment for patients from Iraq and Kosovo on a space-available
basis when the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in the Field of Health with the
Ministry of Health of Iraq and the Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Health with the
Republic of Kosovo enters into force.
7.4. Medicine and Medical Equipment Assistance
In line with the requests and recommendations of
the Prime Ministry Babakanlk Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Ministrys Turkish International Cooperation and Development Agency
(TIKA) we provide medicine, medical stuff and
equpiment to foreign countries from time to time.
7.5. Overseas Healthcare Organizations, which
are restored, Provided Medical Staff Asistance
and Given Managerial Support
Sudan Kalakla Turkish Hospital
In the year 1996, we restored the Kalakla Turkish Hospital previously built by our country. By
refurbishing it with the medical equipment and staff brought from Turkey, we relaunched the
hospital on 25 June 2007.
Sudan Darfur Nyala Sahra Hospital
Sahra Hospital has been established in Nyala by the Turkish Red Crescent. The healthcare
personnel of the hospital is procured by our Ministry.
We undertake works related to the transfer of medicine and medical equipment with the
purpose of reinforcing decreased medicine and medical equipment reserves.
Southern Sudan Juba Training Hospital
We have fully equipped the Operating Room,
Gynaecology, Pediatrics and Screening
Units of the Juba Training Hospital which is located
in the capital town of Southern Sudan, with the
medical equipment and stuf we have brought
from our country.
Republic of Moldovia Gagauzia
We make financial, technical and humanitarian
investment in the Autonomous Region of Gagauzia in the Republic of Moldovia. We have met the medical equipment and medical stuff
demands of three hospitals in Vulcanesti, Comrat and Ceadir Lunga from our country.
Ethiopia
We have refurbished the Gynaecology, Pediatrics, Screening, Neonatal
and Operationg Room units of the
Black Lion Training and Research
Hospital in Ethiopia with the medical
equipment and stuff we have provided from our country.
Pakistan
As a Ministry we have provided for
and transferred on 21 and 28 January 2011 the medical equipment and stuff demand
by seven hospitals in the region after the flood disaster in Pakistan. The technical team
subordinated to our Ministry still continues its works in this region.
7.6. The Organization of Common Health Weeks
2012
With respect to the coopertion agreements and protocols we have signed, we hold
Health Weeks events with corresponding countries. The mutual countries scientists,
experts and professionals, who get the chance to come together within the framwork
of these events, mutually exchange views and try finding ways of further developing
the present cooperation potential. In this respect, we have so far organized Common
Health Weeks with Afghanistan, Sudan, Yemen, Nakhcevan, Iraq and the Gagauzia
Region. Within the framework of these events, our countrys scientists, healthcare experts and healthcare professionals have organized common conferences and workshops in the relevant countries. Again within the framework of these Health Weeks,
our doctors have performed joint operations and health inspections wih their foreign
colleagues.
58
7.7. Strenghtening the Health Systems

One of the World Health Organizations main agenda items among others is the
Strenghtening of Health Systems. In this respect, we provide technical assistance
and consultancy services to Macedonia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria and Iraq in order
to share our experience and knowledge accumulation we have gained as a result of
the implementations we have put into practice within the scope of the Health Convergence Programme.
8. IMPLEMENTING THE HEALTH CONVERGENCE PROGRAMME

8.1. Improvements in the Health Indicators

8.2. Main Lessons Learned

Balancing this type of gargantuan reform needs in strengthening health systems with a step
by step approach is a reality for many countries and there is a lot to be learned from Turkey
concerning how these two approaches can be balanced.
Hospital autonomy or the privatization of state hospitalare among the politically most disputed reforms in many countries. It is unsurprising therefore that countries make little progress
in this important Strengthening of Health Systems reform. Nevertheless, an important element
of the Strenghtening of Health Systems will remain uncompleted without the public hospitals
reform. This situation affects attaining the goals of quality, efficiency and equity. The Turkish
experience shows that while gradual reforms are made, which have great and swift impact
on the provision of service (especially for the economically disavantaged), it is possible to
look at the public hospitals reform with a long-term view.
The Ministry of Health is aware of the importance of increasing awareness in healthcare responsibility in all sectors and leading the inter sectoral action for imporved health.
In year 2010, esteemed Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoan has been awarded the WHO
Director Generals 2010 Special Recognition Award for Global Fight Against Tobacco.
The Ministry of Health is aware of the need to lead in Turkey and in the international field
on this matter by developing international cooperation, supporting international developmentand continuing the quality improvement made in the Turkish sector in order to gain the
international recognition, which will draw the attention of international health tourism.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Health plans to implement a Public-Private Partnership
strategy in Turkey. This strategy can be expected to provide cooperation between the public
and private hospitals in providing high quality services with the lowest prices. The PublicPrivate Partnership can become facilitating and accelerting in service procurement at the
point of providing high cost and low volume care for patients.
The current state of affairs in services procurement practices shows that the service procurement of diagnosis and treatment services is growing. For this reason, new market opportunities will undoubtedly arise for national and international institutions.
As Augurzky as Scheuer note relevant to the case in Germany, one shouldnt be surprised of other countries service firms entering the healthcare market if Turkish service
firms dont swiftly become attractive for hospitals.
8.3. Healthcare Services in Turkey: From Backwardness to Leadership
Nearly ten years ago, the healthcare system was regarded as backward not only by other
members of the Organization for Cooperation and Development (OECD) but also by other
upper middle income countries. There was a discrepancy between the constitutional rights
and realities with regards to the Turkish citizens equal access to healthcare services.
Health was important, but still was rarely taken up in the political agenda.
At present, the healthcare system in Turkey has ben transformed, change and transformation took place not only in view of the positive evaluations by the rest of the OECD
and the European Union, but also in the healthcare outputs, accountability and filling
the voids in fair financing.
We will explain the Health Convergence Programme launched in 2003, analyze the
reasons behind its success and share the lessons learnt.
In just seven years, the Health Convergence Programme in Turkey has provided the
health cover for essential services and has significantly improved the health outputs.
The important difficulty now is how a more complicated health system can be directed correctly and how it will be adapted to the needs and preferences changing
in line with more demanding citizens and a more democratic and pluralist state structure, while at the same time improving efficiency and financial sustainability.
8.4. Letter by WHO Director General esteemed Dr. Chan
In her letter dated 4 May 2011 to our esteemed Minister, Director General of the World
Health Organization esteemed Margaret Chans has in brief said the following:
Esteemed Minister,
2012
I have had the chance to visit your country on different occasions. During these visits, I
have been very impressed by the extraordinary progress made by Turkey in the last 8-10
years. This is evidence of the strong commitments made by the Government in public
health. The Health Convergence Programme launched in 2003 with regards to the
basic public health problems is making very impressive improvements especially in fields
such as maternal and infant mortality death rates, smoking rates and scopes for vaccinations.
60
Appreciating the perfect relations which WHO currently has with Turkey and your personal
efforts in matters of global health, I hope for the continuity of our ongoing cooperation.
8.5. The 2023 Vision in Health
1. Regardless of their financial situation, we will continue to perceive our people as first
class citizens indiscriminately. We will follow up on the health status of our citizens
step by step in their pregnancy, natal, childhood, adolecence, youth and old age
periods, i.e. throughout their lives.
2. While maternal mortality ratio related to pregnancy was 61 per hundred thousand
in 2003, we decreased this ratio with an unprecedented pace. In eight years we
reached the point which OECD countries had reached in 23 years. We will decrease
the maternal mortality ratio related to pregrancy, which presently is 16,4 per one
hundred thousand, to less than 10 per one hundred thousand in 2015, less than eight
per one hundred thousand in 2019 and less than six per hundred thousand in 2023.
3. The infant mortality ratio below the age on 1 was 29 per thousand in 2003. We have
also decreased this ratio with an unprecedented pace. In eight years we reached the
point which the OECD countries had reached in 30 years. We will decrease the infant
mortality ratio, which at present is 10 per thousand, to less than seven per thousand in
2015, less than six per thousand in 2019 and less than five per thousand in 2023.
4. By 2015, we will add another 800 fully equipped 112 ambulances to our 112 fleet of 2500
vehicles, which by its current state has reached the capacity of responding to emergency healthcare services. Aditionally, we will remove the ambulances which are older
than three years from the system and own a young fleet of 2750 ambulances.
5. We will make sure that people in special need due to their economic, social or economic
conditions, foremost being disabled people, can more easily access healthcare services
they need. We aim at providing at home treatment in a family environment for these patients in need of special care, if the medical care and rehabilitation of whom are possible
outside the hospital and shortening the period of stay at the hospitals. We have reached
ten thousand patients with the at home healthcare service, which we launched in 2010.
We plan to reach 70 thousand people in 2011. Our aim is to extend this service to all those
in need of at home health care (150 thousand people) by 2015.
6. We will provide our elderly the opportunity to live a very quality healthy life. Our elderly will
be more active and healthy. We will exceed the world standards in services provided in
care of the elderly. In cases necessary, we will be providing at home services for our elderly.
7. With the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, we are building city hospitals which comprise health facilities, Research and Development Units, high technology centers, fields of
social life, Health Science Universities and grand recreation fields all toghether.
8. We will be the center of health tourism of the European, Middle Eastern, African, Central
Asian and Russian region.
9. In order to cover the healthcare workforce deficiency, we have increased the student
quotas for faculties of medicine from 4.500 to 7.500. We will continue our cooperation
with the Council for Higher Education in order to raise this quota to 10 thousand students,
while raising the quota for nursing students to 20 thousand. More doctors will be provided
employment opportunity when the number of doctors increase. We will raise the number
of doctors, which at present is 120 thousand, to 130 thousand by 2015, 155 thousand by
2019, 200 thousand by 2023, i.e. we will nearly double the number of doctors. We will raise
the number of midwife nurses, which at present is 163 thousand by 2015, to 238 thousand
by 2015, 310 thousand by 2019 and multiply the current number by 2,5, i.e. raise it to 400
thousand in 2023. We will raise the number of healthcare personnel, which at present is
650 thousand by total, to 715 thousand by 2015, 853 thousand by 2019, nearly double the
number by 2023 and raise it to 1 million 100 thousand. Thereby, we will render sustainable the healthcare services which our citizens deserve.
10. Our citizens will continue to use the the most newly developed medical technologies at
the cheapest prices. We will spread the incentive and procurement practices which will
attract high end healthcare technology to Turkey.
11. Our citizens will be able to get all kinds of services related to health. With the development of the highest quality, most contemporary, fastest and most widespread services,
the per capita health expenditure will be one thousand USD in 2015, 1500 USD in 2019, will
multiply by three in 2023 and reach 2000 USD. However this increase will not place a burden on our citizens shoulders. This is because the the efficiency in the public sphere will
increasingly continue due to the healthcare reforms implemented in the last eight years.
This means that we will provide higher quality services with less expenditures compared
to the countries providing similar quality services.
12. Turkey will further develop health convergence, a worldwide unique model and become
one of the leaders in setting the world health agenda. We will develop and strengthen
our cooperation with the world in health matters.
13. As a result, we have our sight set on Turkeys leading a global change aimed at serving
mankind and not its conformity with global change in the field of healthcare.

Health
Tourism In
Turkey
1. GENERAL OVERVIEW
Being a rising trend in the world and the country health tourism is an important type
of alternative tourism.
Health tourism: It is the travel from the country of residence to another country for
treatment purpose. The person who travels for treatment purpose is called a health
tourist.
Health tourism shouldnt be evaluated as a mere type of tourism implying the travel
for treatment in hospitals. Although all types of tourisms which provide healthy living
should be accepted as health tourism, it can be assessed under three main headings:
1. Medical Tourism(Treatment,surgery and similar procedures at hospitals)
2012
2. Thermal Tourism (Rehabilitation, recreation and similar services at thermal facilities)
64
3. Tourism for the Elderly and the Disabled (Geriatric treatment center or long term accomodations including social activities in lowlands)
Main reasons for health tourism

1. Insufficiency or lack of high
technology healthcare services
and professional human resources in ones own country,
2. Wish to take a vacation
alongside treatment,
3. The high costs of healthcare
services in ones own country,
4. The wish to receive a far better
quality healthcare treatment,
5. The wish to keep ones surgery secret in his country for
some reason
(such as aesthetic surgery, infertility treatment etc)
6. Tourism mobility (travel to
countries with forests, uplands, historical and cultural riches) when there are limited vacation
opportunities due to climate or geography, the frequent request of vacationing in countries
with thermal facilities and thermal tourism opportunities.
7. The wish of chronic patients, the elderly and the disabled to travel to and be treated in
different environments,
8. The wish of people with drug and other addictions to travel to different and more appropriate environments,
9. A persons will to live and cling on to life.
As a result, health tourism is multifaceted and bears within itself many reasons. Mainly being
the type of tourism for regaining ones health in another country with better opportunities, it
is a rapidly rising sector.
Health Tourism in Turkey

There are 42 health institutions (hospitals, labora internationally accredited with JCI in our
country. Foremost being the hospitals in Istanbul and Ankara, the private, public and university hospitals are equipped with the highest technology in the world. Advanced technology healthcare services are provided in many hospitals in Turkey in oncological treatments,
cardiovascular surgery, orthopaedics, brain surgery, pediatric surgery, aesthetic surgery, opthalmics and orthodontology. These hospitals also provide cyberknife, robotic surgery, MR
services and perform bone marow and organ transplantations.
Transformation services in Arabic, English, German and Russian languages are available 7/24
on 112 lines in emergency situations and on 184 lines on matter of complaint, operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Healths Department for Health Tourism.
All doctors are obliged to take professional indemnity insurance and in the event medical
errors or malpractice occurs, immediate compensation is paid to the patient by Insurance.
Providing service by national accreditation services, all of our hospitals are inspected twice
a year. All procedures and coordination concerning health tourism is by law under the responsibility of the Ministry of Healh. The total of the 74 million people living in our country
have compulsory health insure and they can get healthcare services by private, public and
university hospitals. The data concerning the number of operations performed in hospitals,
the equpiment and quality human resources are given in other sections of this book.
Some hospitals in particular, (such as the Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital,
Turkey Special Hospital, Siyami

Ersek Cardiovascular Surgery
Training and Research Hospital,
Hacettepe
Faculty of Medicine) have been providing servies for as long a time period as
50 to 100 years and are very
accumulated and experienced
healthcare organizations, where
thousands of surgeries have
been performed.
Addition, the private and public hospitals built in the last ten
years, with their technical equipment and physical conditions, by
no means lag behind the hospitals in western countries.
Moreover, we rank seventh worldwide and first in Europe in thermal tourism with regards to thermal springs. Well equipped and entrenched thermal hotels are being
fastly built in this field. There are many incentives available for investors.
As a result, we offer the climate, natural beauties, historical and cultural regions, the
healthcare services by western standards and the thermals to all people living in our
environment just as we offer them to our own people. We invite you to our country, the
healing gate to a healthy life.

Concerning health tourism and the health of the tourist, our new Law Concerning the Organization of the Ministry (Statutory Decree 663) ;
By stating in Article 8.i of the Statutory Decree no 663 concerning the organization of our
Ministry that the Ministry undertakes the necessary regulations for the development of
health tourism practices and ensures the necessary coordination between relevant organizations, whereby our Ministry is by law entitled to all regulations, works and coordination

Specific consultation boards and commissions (such as the Health Tourism Consultation
Board) may be formed under the Healthcare Policies Board. Construction of Healthcare
Campuses have started, this project is in a position to set an example to the world.
A NEW ERA IN HEALTH TOURISM

Great Progress has been made in Turkey in the health sector during the last nine years.
Thanks to a series of reforms the quality and efficiency in the healthcare system has
been increased. In addition to the public healthcare services, the private healthcare
services have also started to improve rapidly in the past years. Turkey provides European standard services with its modern hospitals, trained labor force, doctors who are
experts in their fields, its technological infrastructure and accumulation of experience.
The services quality of most private hospitals in Turkey has been approved by world
wide known accreditation institutions. With its 42 healthcare organizations, 37 being
hospitals, three being laboratories, one being means of conveyance and one being
ambulatory care center, which have all been JCI (Joint Comissions International) accredited, Turkey ranks second worldwide.
Turkey is a center of attraction in health tourism with respect to its geographic location, the healtchare organizations it has, its labor force educated and trained in the
sector, its thermal springs and natural beauties.
Turkey, with both its historical and cultural riches as well as its level of development in
the field of healthcare, ranks among the ten most favored countries in the world. Turkey, which has reached the number of 33 million 27 bin 943 in foreign tourists in 2011,
is the shining star of the health tourism market with its healthcare facilities which use
advanced technology and provides the advantage of lower prices.
You are Invited to Turkey for Health Tourism
World countries recognize Turkey as their new healtcare partner and an emerging
medical tourism market now. By uniting the medical and thermal tourism resources,
spa and wellness facilities, which it owns with the five stars hotels, Turkey provides quality and cheap tourism packages for the health tourist.
Dont Travel Far for Health
2012
Turkey, with its unique and strategic geographic location, is the crosspoint of two continents with borders in Europe, Asia and Central Asia. It can be reached from many
countries in short time and easily by plane.
70
Turkey, has united its hospitality tradition which comes from its past, with its understanding of medical tourism service. All types of services the health tourist may need from
the moment he sets foot in Turkey untill he is send back home, are provided by the
expert healthcare personnel and the agency officials.
3. THE LAST WORDS ON HEALTH TOURISM

Turkey has a very well trained and educated labor force in the healthcare sector. No problem is endured in communicating with the doctors and the healtcare personnel who can
speak English. The health tourist can easily get an answer to any question which may arise in
his thoughts. Moreover, both doctors and nurses adequately inform the treated health tourist before and after surgery and thereore ensure that he is pschologicallyin good condition.
There are more demand for thermal tourism in North European and Scandinavian countries,
where rheutismal diseases are widely observed due to disadvantegous climate conditions.
Our country, which is relatively more advantageous in terms of climate, prices, security and
conveyance, has an incredibly advantageous standing in medical tourism, spa& wellness
and thermal tourism, tourism for the advanced age and sports tourism and holds the properties to appeal to people from all strata. Moreover, Turkey is also in a position to become an
important health and thermal tourism destination country for Middle eastern countries with
respect to its geographic proximity, natural and climate conditions unpresent in their countries and factors of cultural similarities.
A significant increase in the number of visits made from these countries have been observed
due to the mutual visa exemptions made with Middle Eastern countries in the recent periods,
the conveniences provided at borders and by means of other political and cultural relations.
Due to the high cost of healthcare ependitures in developed countries, there is an increasing
tendency in these countries to decrease treatment services and provide healthcare services
from countries at lower costs.
Following Sweden, Norway and Denmark, some private insurance companies in Germany
and Hollands decision to cover the costs of patients whom they will send to Turkey for thermal treatments has given Turkey an important market share in thermal tourism.
Health tourism will show a greater growth in the future if the importance people attach to
their health increases, healthcare services become competitive and cost differences remain
the main component. Experts forecast the continuing increase in the demand of plastic
surgery in particular, the pursuant rise of significant demand for overseas services and its
replacement of hearst surgeries, which is a key component of health tourism.
Turkey, with the quality and economic healthcare services it provides, is ready to provide
priority healthcare to the approximate one billion population in neighboring countries within
the scope of health tourism. Very soon our country will rank first in health tourism.

Turkey has achieved great success in the deep rooted reforms in its healthcare service.
The citizens access to healthcare has been facilitated. All citizens have been gathered
under the scope of insurance with the General Healthcare Insurance. The internet and
phone appointment systems have been put into service and the waiting times have
been reduced to a minimum. All hospitals have been renewed technologically and
their medical equipment capacities have been increased. The right to choose, which is
the most basic right of the patient has come to be practiced in all hospitals. Substantial
changes have also been made in Emergency Healthcare Services and services have
come be provided to citizens for free. The speed of ambulances in reaching the medi-
cal cases has reached European standards.

The citizens trust in emergency healthcare
services has increased. The healthcare organizations providing services in Turkey can
be sepatared in three groups: Private Hospitals, Ministry of Healths Hospitals, Healthcare Campuses and University Hospitals.
1.HOSPITALS
1.1. Private Hospitals
The process of change in Turkeys healthcare system has left its mark private hospitals alongside public hospitals. Private hospitaling
has gained its share in a short period of time in the provision of treatments. Investments fo
future however show signs of increasing its share in the upcoming years. The Ministry of Health
attaches importance to the greatness of this share and has tried to pave the way for private
hospitals by drafting regulations for them. Part of these private hospitals have reached the
magnitude of chain hospitals. Although private hopitals spread across the country large
and small, they concentrate in greater cities, foremost being Istanbul. By providing the most
recent technological developments to Turkey, private hospitals have ensured the patients
access to these facilities. They have become an integral part of health tourism by provising
service not only to our own citizens but also to patients coming from all world countries.
Private hospitals in Turkey are in European standards both physically and technologically.
Most private hospitals, by proving that they provide services at healthcare quality standards,
have been accredited by the JCI in patient care quality and organization management.
Turkey ranks second worldwide with its 42 healthcare organizations which have been JCI
accredited.
a.JCI Accredited Hospitals

The Hospitals Quality has Been Approved
The health tourist can get healthcare service in Turkey with both quality and economy.
No concessions are ever made in the matter of healthcare service. The quality of
healthcare service in Turkey has been approved by JCI (Joint Comissions International) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
As of February 2012 Turkey ranked second with its 37 JCI accredited hospitals. Moreover,
A total of 43 healthcare organization, three being clinical laboratories, one being ambulatory treatment center and one being a conveyance service, has been JCI accredited.

1.GENERAL OVERVIEW
2012
Turkey has a great impotance with respect to its thermal resources. The thermal waters of the country holds qualities superior to the thermal waters in Europe, not only in
terms of their flow rate and temperatures but also in terms of their various physical and
chemical properties. Health tourism, which has been rapidly developing in the past
years has also accelerated thermal investments. There are many thermal hotels providing service in Turkey, which ranks seventh worldwide in terms of thermal resources.
By combining healing waters with hotel management, host guests with comforting living spaces of vayring architectural styles, friendly staff and perfect hospitality.
114
2. THERMAL TOURISM
Works are being carried out within the scope of the Tourism Strategy of Turkey and the Thermal Tourism Master Plan developed by our Ministry in 2007 with a view to developing thermal
tourism.
2.1. Definition of Thermal Tourism:

Thermal tourism is the type of tourism which is composed of the cure treatments made by
integrating supplementary treatments such as climate cures, physical therapy, rehabilitation, work out, psychotherapy and dieting alongside the various types of methods such as
thermomineral baths, mineral waters, inhalation, mud baths, as well as the use of thermal
waters with entertainment and recreation purposes.
Cure
cure is the treatment method by which the treatment
factor is provided repetitively in specific mesures, regularly in series and for a given period of time.
Thermal Spring Therapy
Thermal Spring therapy is the type of therapy which is
the use of the natural treatment elements such as soil,
underground and sea derived mineral waters, gases,
muds and climatic elements in curing style together
with the other treatments deemed necessary.
Balneotherapy
Balneotherapy is the use of natural treatment elements
such as thermomineral waters, muds and gases in curing style alongside baths, mineral waters and inhalation
methods.
Inhalation Practices
Inhalation Practices are the inhalation methods made
with thermomineral water drops
Mineral Water Cures
Mineral water cures are the cures made with mineral
wayers in thermal springs or the place of accomodation.
Mud Therapy
Mud therapy is the use of muds, which are organic or
inorganic substances formed as a result of natural, geological and/or biological events as a method of balneotherapy.
It is known among public as the use of healing muds for
treatment purposes.
Climatotherapy
Climatotherapy is the use of temperature, humidity, gale
force, wind speed, solar radiation and similar climatic factors systematically and in form of specific dosage cures.
Thalassotherapy
The use of sea water climate and elements under medical record and supervision, for preventive, treatment
and/or curing purposes in curing style.

Physical therapy and rehabilitation are
the electrotherapy, workout therapy,
massaging and other methods used in
thermal spring treatment.
Medical Therapy
Medical Therapy is the systemic or local
pharmatological treatment of the patient during thermal treatment.
Supplementary Treatments
Supplementary treatment is the assisting method of healthcare training, dieting practices, organization of daily living activities, behavioral change training and psychological assistance.
2. Classification of Thermal Waters

Thermal Waters
Thermal waters are waters the temperature of which are 20 C and
above at their bottom.
Mineral Waters
2012
Mineral waters are waters which

are surface naturally or by sounding-drifting, which contain at least
1 gramme of dissolved mineral per
litre, which has not been subject to
bacteriological or chemical pollution and the physiological and
therapeutic effectiveness of which
are scientifically proven.
Thermomineral Waters
Thermomineral waters are waters, the natural temperature of which are above 20 C
which have at least more than one gramme of dissolved mineral per litre.
Special Balneological Waters
Special balneological waters are the type of water which contain specific minerals
above a minimum specified measure. These are classified as;
116
Carbon dioxide Waters: Waters which contain more than 1 gramme dissolved free
carbon dioxide per litre.
Sulphuric Water: Waters which contain two precious sulphurs above 1 milligram per liter.
Radon Waters: Waters which contain more than 666 Bq/ltradon radiation,
Salines: Waters which contain more
than 14 grammes sodium chlorure per
liter,
Iodized Waters: Waters which contain more than 1 milligrams of iodine
per litre,
Fluoride Waters: Waters which contain more than 1 milligram of fluoride
per liter.
2.3. New Approaches to Tourism

With respect to its geothermal resources, Turkey is among the first seven countries in the
world. It ranks first in Europe with respect to its resources and third with respect to its thermal
spring practices.
For the more efficient and productive use of the renewable geothermal reources in our
country, an understanding and approach different to that of the traditional use of thermal
springs are tried to be developed.
With a view to developing thermal tourism, we aim at increasing tourism income and the
number of tourists alongside the number of facilities with international standards, which contain cure parks, cure centers and accomodation integration.
The understanding of thermal tourism is towards establishing facilities in which our thermal waters are used for purposes other than cleansing alone, such as health, vitality,
recreation, entertainment, leisure and sports facilities and which can provide service
throughout the year.
Work on health and thermal tourism have an important place in our Ministrys policies
towards diversifying tourism and spreading across the country. Some of the opportunities,
which thermal tourism provide are as follows;
2012
Engaging in tourism throughout the year,

Reaching high occupancy rates in facilities,
Generating high employment,
Providing for the development of a balanced regional tourism by easy integration
with other alternative tourism types,
The availability of entertainment and recreation opportunities in thermal facilities
alongside activities which improve human health,
The competitiveness and cost payback capacity of the facilities with cure center
(treatment) integration as an investment.
118
3. THERMAL TOURISM REGIONS

The Newly Initiated Project
Within the scope of the Thermal Tourism Cities Project initiated by our Ministry with the
purpose of developing Health and Thermal Tourism, new areas have been determined by
taking into account the geothermal potentials in our country.
(Figure 3: Thermal Tourism Cities Region Map) Within the scope of these studies, the assessment of the geothermal resource potential and the conduct of property research in the
proposed areas to be determined accordingly, the assessment of infrastructure amenities,
its association with alternative types of tourism, the preparation of the research report, which
will determine the development strategies with thermal purposes,
and the preparation of environmental planning in fields determined by the thermal city master plan and the regional thermal master plan, are realized by our Ministry through General
Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration and the Development Bank of Turkey in
form of service procurement.
Regions which have a capacity to integrate with other types of tourism and become
destination;
Southern Marmara Thermal Tourism Cities Region
(anakkale, Balkesir, Yalova)
Frigya Thermal Tourism Cities Region
(Afyonkarahisar, Ktahya, Uak, Eskiehir, Ankara)
Southern Aegean Thermal Tourism Cities Region
(Izmir, Manisa, Aydn, Denizli)
Central Anatolian Thermal Tourism Cities Region
(Yozgat, Krehir, Nevehir, Nide)
Have been determined as priority regions. Moreover,
Northern Anatolian Thermal Tourism Cities Region: Amasya, Sivas, Tokat, Erzincan

The development of each of these regions as a destination center and its integration
with primarily the thermal spring facilities in these regions, nature tourism, water sports
and similar types of tourism as well its association with other cultures and natural values
in its proximities.
It is aimed that the of fields in these regions, which may be declared Tourism Centers
and/or Culture and Tourism Protection and Development Regions with geothermal
resource orientation, are appropriated to tourism investors in a short period of time,
pursuant to their assessment and the completion of their physical planning.
Targets in Thermal Tourism
In short term
Studies have been initiated to assess our resources by staging and taking into consideration the fields in which our geothermal resources are located in order to carry our
country to the desired point in themal tourism.
A bed capacity of 250 thousand is aimed to be built after the environmental planning
works to be carried through in the mentioned regions.
For the effective distribution of geothermal waters, works will be conducted to form
a union of local administrations and distribution companies in the pilot areas to be
determined.
2012
In medium term
The development plans and the revised master plan studies for the Thermal Tourism
Centers declared so far by our Ministry will be completed. By taking advantage of
the experiences had in the cities from selected pilot areas, the aim is to spread these
works across the whole country and reach a bed capacity of one million beds for that
purpose. It is expexted that a thermal tourism facility with a 200 thousand bed capacity is launched.
In long term
Making our country the first destination country in Europe with respect to thermal
tourism,
The attraction of 15 million tourist to our country with thermal purposes and
The Launch of 500 thousand facilities for thermal tourism is aimed at.

Tourism for the

Elderly and the
Disabled
1.GENERAL OVERVIEW
2012
Our guests who come to our country within the scope of tourism for the advanced
age, take advantage of rehabilitation services in nursing homes alongside sightseeing
tours and occupational therapies. Special care for the disabled are provided in clinical hotels and rehabilitation centers.
130
2. TOURISM FOR THE ADVANCED AGE AND THE ELDERLY AS A DERIVATIVE

OF HEALTH TOURISM
It is observable throughout the world
that average life expentancies have
increased as a result of the improvements made in the fields of healthcare and social life in accordance
with the technological and economic developments which have
gained pace in especially in the
19th and 20th centuries.
In parallel with this increase, changes which can be decsribed as a demographic shift or demographic
earthquake occurred in the demographic structures of countries.
Considering the importance of the matter, two World Assemblies on Ageing have been organized by the United Nations, the first being held in Vienna in 1982 and the second held in
Madrid in 2002, whereby all UN member states were advised to take the necessary precuations against the surge of the grey haired.
Considering the fact that in many European Union countries like Germany, Holland, Belgium
the ratio of the people of 65 years of age and over to the general population is around %
20, the EU has established a distinct unit within its structure and has closely followed these
developments across Europe. National institutes have been extablished in various countries,
improving and/or supportive measures have been taken for the current infrastructures, there
have been inclinations toward regional cooperation and distinct ageing policies have been
formed within the scope of social policies or their formation has been initiated.
According to the United Nations and the World Ageing Organization, the current number
of 600 million people of 65 years of age or above is expected to reach two billions in 2050.
This increase is not limited to developed countries such as European countries and the United
States of America (currently in tremor), but it has also reached serious proportions in countries
concluding transition periods, foremost being Turkey.
3. TOURISM FOR THE ELDERLY AND THE DISABLED

The rapidly increasing number of the elderly as can be seen in the above mentioned
data, have caused new health, social, cultural and economic situations to arise.
For example, a rise in the demand for healthcare and assistance services occurs in
parallel with the notion of ageing. As a matter of fact, the dynamism towards transborder moves within the scope of health tourism is mainly formed by this mass. This mass
also coprises most of the people who take advantage of healthcare services.
When we look at the Ministry of Healths Tourism Coordinatorship, we see that most
of the international patients or patient with Turkish origin who come from abroad to
Turkey for treatment purposes are part of this group.
The advanced aged and the elderly who have remained rather unnoticed so far, now
wish and request that they be seen, noticed and that service methods, which are appropriate for their age and standing, are developed.
Moreover, it is important that special holiday, recreation, entertainment, social activities and similar complementary and supportive activities as well as the necessary
infrastructures thereof are developed.
2012
Geriatric Care Center: Geriatric Care Centers are healthcare organizations established for the diagnois and treatment of illnesses which come with age, their rehabilitation and the relevant nursing services.
132
These centers provide service within the structure of hospitals or are subordinated to
hospitals. One day ambulatory treatment and rehabilitation services are formed for
people accomodating in these centers. Moreover the disabled populations, the ratio
of whom reaches % 10 in many European countries, also have the right to travel and
have fun just like other people. However, this part of society generally cannot join
tourism due to lack of infrastructure. This brings many social and mental problems with
itself. Tourism for the disabled will become one of the most talked about subjects in the
years to come; our country has also initiated works on this matter.
2012
Our Highlands
1.Highland Tourism
The highland life as part of a rich living culture has an important place in Turkey, which
has a geography and climate peculiar to itself. This tradition which is expressed in
ancient scripts and folk songs which are still in the limelight, (such as in the folk song
Avar cities have fleen away), have enabled the opening up of hundreds of sites in
Turkish geography as new and different living spheres.
Turks, who were described in Chinese chronicles as a nation which lives by following
waters and grassland with their horses and high wheeled carriages have, after settling in the Anatolian geography, started to live their traditional life styles by their new
standards.
In the new millenium, in which the whole world becomes increasingly similar to one another, the highlands of Turkey are highlands, which come from the past and the taste
of which is noticed after being experienced, while their overwhelming and different
lifestyles are eastern and exotic in regard of our current modern living and authenic to
the degree we are distanced from nature.
2012
The highlands offer the unpolluted air of the wilderness, crystalline cold waters, its cooling chilliness even in the hottest days of summer; its fascinating scenery, its vegetables
grown on their branches without the use of hormones and food produced by free
range animals. The hundred and one type of animals and plants living and growing in
an undamaged habitat, rescues people from the made up world of the documentary
programmes on television and makes them a part of the real life.

been an important center of attraction at all
times by its location, its proximity to the greater city of Istanbul, its natural seaport (Izmit
Bay), forests and conveyance facilities. This
attraction enabled the peak of industrialization in Kocaeli in the late 1960 and its structural transformation...
In a general sense, a climate converging
the Black Sea and Mediterranean climates
prevails in the region. It is hot and rarely rainy in summers, while in winters it is rainy and
warmer compared to most of the regions in
Turkey.
Kocaeli, by per capita income ranks first, while it ranks second among cities by the
% 13 contribution it makes to the General Budget Tax Income. It is the heart of the
countrys industry with the contribution it makes to production.
With this facet, Kocaeli is Turkeys most productive, most immigrated to, most fastly
urbanizing and most giving city, while it is the environmentally most polluted city with
its other facet.

RZE
The Black Sea climate prevails in the Rize region. The chracteristic of the Black Sea
region is that it is cool in summers, warm in winters and rainy for seasons. The main
reason for this is that the mountains are parallel to the sea.

Highland tourism is a type of tourism peculiar to Trabzon and the first type of tourism which
comes to mind when one speaks of Trabzon. Highland tourism is a tourism type which
can be performed by using the present infrastructure in inner parts with a rich forest strata
without making too many investments. The potential for this activity is present in every
highland and is still being realized in Highlands such as Ayder, Anzer, ad and Elevit.
There are many beautiful highlands connected to one another in the Kakar Mountains in the south of Rize and the mountain hills. All these highlands are flocked with people
in summertime. There are grass trimming festivals held

The settlements which are composed of a few homes dispersed across mountainsides
and hills communed with greenery and the single accomodations one encounters sometimes make an exciting scenery. Despite these exciting views, conveyance to these
houses is just as difficult. Generally, the houses are reached by following uneven paths.
220
The outer surfaces of the houses come to the forefront in terms of their ornaments
and architecture. The houses are generally built in two floor on top of a basement
conforming with the slope of the hills. The basement floor is used as a stall. The Eastern
Black Sea houses are different from those in other regions. While the important space
in Turkish houses is the room, its the ashane in the Black Sea house. The ashane in a
contemporary sense is the kitchen area.

TURKISH FOOD AND SHOPPING CULTURE
A. OUR TURKISH FOOD CULTURE

The Turkish cuisine, in respect of its standing, is
the third greatest cuisine. The eastern culture
is seen in the Turkish cuisine alongside western
effects. We have an eating culture, in which
red meat is consumed intensively and vegetable dishes come to the forefront as supplementary or secondary dishes.
The neccessity of nutrition from birth till death
has caused mankind to develop certain rules
concerning food since first ages. In course of
time, these rules have merged with societies
own structures and values and have created
the societies own food culture. The Turkish cuisine, which is mong worlds famous cuisines
also is the result of such evolution. The Turkish
cuisine can be evaluated as a classical and
regional cuisine. The classical cuisine is a cuisine, which has taken on its shape with the produces of the Empire in Istanbul. The regional
cuisines named as Turkish Peoples Cuisine however is the type of cuisine, which has
taken on its shape with regional produces in Anatolia.
The Aegean cuisine formed by rich vegetation, has succeded in using every vegetable grown in nature. It is possible to come across rich meat dishes in this cuisine, in which
olive oil dishes are generally preponderant.
2012
It is possible to see the general traits of the Aegean nutrition in Mula, Aydn and Izmir.
Vegetables and savage plants, olive oil dishes have an important place in regional
nutrition. The domestic nutrition tradition based on vegetable frying, the making of
molasses, marmalade, sundried tomato and pimento and keskek undergo a process
parallel to social change.
232
Legumes and assorted vegetables are the

most common foods in the region. Eggplants
are the most widely used vegetables. It is often
used in frying, salads and desserts. For eggplant
with eggs, generally prepared for dinners, onions and tomatos are firstly roasted with oil. The
thinly sliced eggplants are added into the mixture. An egg is cracked on top of it and the mixture is taken off the fire. Sour pepper is also one
of the fried dishes of the region.
As regards meat dishes, a sea food based diet
is not wide spread in the Aegean Region, despite the fact that it is a coastal city. Chicken,
liver, stewed lamb called biryan, roast meet
or farm kebab are the common meat dishes.
The Inner Anatolian cuisine is also a distinctive
cuisine with its cuisine structure, tools, variety of
foods, cooking techniques, table manners, serving methods and its foods which are prepared
for winter.
The most interesting trait of the Anatolian culture are the invited meals which have
become a rule. Neighbor lifting, regional bachelor nights, chill overs, feasts called ebi given by hanging tandoori whole lambs, araba offered during evening visits
and the pemani meals for night guests are the

generally known meals.
Among the local dishes recommended for people
visiting Konya, three delicious foods stand out: the
oven kebab, quickbread with meat layer and cheese pita. In recent years, mixed pita prepared with
cheese and meat has been added to these. These
three types of food draw the attention not only of
the locals of Konya but also that of foreigners.
With regards to its preparation and labor, spicy
chicken soup araba, is also a taste well known
in the Inner Anatolian Region, especially in Yozgat.
It is prepared by mixing both warm and cold water
with flour. The mixture is poured into a round brass
tray and left to cool down. This dough is to be eaten with the soup, which may also be prepared
with Turkey. The dough, which is left to cool down,
is cut into peaces in baklava shape with a damp
knife. Room is made at the center of the serving
tray to fit the round brass tray, the round brass tray
is placed at the center of the serving tray. The cut
pieces of dough are placed on spoon and are
swallowed with the soup without chewing.
Meat dishes have a very important standing especially in eastern Anatolian culture. Well done meat and the side dishes prepared along is a
life culture for the Eastern and South Eastern people. Different cooking techniques and the
vegetables cooked alongside draw notable interest by tourist.
Adana, Gaziantep, Urfa and Mardin are virtually a heaven for those who are passionate
about food. We suggest you try out Ali Nazik Kebab. One shall not return home without
tasting crisp flaky pastry (katmer), mutton broth with
garlic and chillies (beyran), thin turkish bread covered with minced meat and onions (lahmacun),
chickpeas and small mince dumpling soup (yuvarlama) and stuffed mutton balls. Nor can one
do without the world famous Adana kebab, liver
kebab, steak tartar a la turca, walnut sized stuffed

onion white cheese and parsley filling (skma), boiled sheep rumen filled with rice (rdan), sheep
intestines filling (mumbar) with meat, beans and

The Balkesir confection made of unsalted cheese (hmerim), the Anatolian shreds (burma), rice
pudding, the Turkish delight and confections made
with carrots and nuts (cezerye) are also among our
important tastes.
With its regional foods, the Black Sea Region also
has a very colorful infrastructure.
Collard greens, traditional dessert omelette
(kaygana),cornbread, butter-fried trout, Akaabat kofta, anchovies and its range .
B. SHOPPING IN TURKEY
The Grand Bazaar was the worlds first shopping center, built by Fatih Sultan Mehmed
in the 15th century under the title of Istanbul rejuvenation project. The Grand Bazaar,
where the foundations of the bazaar culture was laid, at the same time formed the
roots of store combinations in a contemporary modern concept.
In the past, the Istanbul Grand Bazaar was a bazaar where specific shops were situated in every street, handicraft works were under strict control, commerce, ethics
and traditions were shown great respect. At present, these ethical principles, although
decreasing, are tried to be continued.
The contemporary Grand Bazaar, which spreads over an area of 300 thousand square
metres with 4 thousand 500 shops and 18 gates opening to 65 streets, provides employment for 35 thousand people.
The Grand Bazaar is busy and crowded at all hours of the day. The great stores, which
extend at the entrance of the bazaar, sell almost all handicrafted and exported products in Turkey. You can find the best pieces of traditional Turkish arts, foremost being
hand-made rugs and jewelry. These are sold with their quality and authenticity certificates and dispatched to everywhere in the world with guarantee.
Besides rugs and jewelry, famous handmade artefacts, copper bronze, souvenirs and
decorative furniture, ceramics, onyx and superior quality Turkey leather keepsakes
form a rich collection. Generally, in the sense of souvenirs, tourist can find these products in all of Turkeys bazaars. In fact, the Istanbul Grand Bazaar is a mosaic in Turkey.
This bazaar, which ornaments Istanbul with its history and the covered bazaars in many
other cities are the center of toruists interests.
2012
Turkeys modern shopping malls, gathering the retail industry, which was in a disorganized state in the 1960s and having started off with Migros and Gima chains, continued
later on with family firms such as Vakko, Beymen and IGS . In 1984, foreign brands
have started to be imported to our country. Benetton and Adidas took the lead of
these brands. In 1987, Galleria Shopping Mall, our countrys first shopping mall in a
234
contemporary sense was launched. In 1989

Atakule, the first shopping mall of Ankara and
the second of Turkey commenced service in
the capital city. In 1991, the Karum Shopping
Mall was launched. In 1993 Capitol Shopping
Mall and Akmerkez Shopping Mall were launched in Istanbul.
Currently, there are many shopping malls present in Turkey which have reached international standards with their architecture, store
combination and management and which
ride high with their portfolio. Investment in retail
shopping malls are a long journey.
In this journey, shopping malls in Turkey have
started to lead shopping malls in the world.
There are many precious projects ahead of
us, which will be launched, the construction of
which continues and which are being planned.
Many international firms, which see this infrastructure in Turkey have started to launch their
branches in Turkey. Firms such as Media Market and Saturn in the field of electronics,
Baumax, Bauhaus and Praktiker in the field of building materials, Metro and Real in the wholesale fools market and Ikea in the field of home supplies. There are many international firms
established in our country providing service in these fields, such as Teknosa, Bimeks and ElektroWorld in the field of electronics and Kota and Tekzen in the field of building material.
There are many shopping malls especially in metropolitan cities. The compound, in which
the foreign tourists travelling to our country can shop comfortably, stroll around, have fun,
have their meals and even accommodate themselves in residences, are all present in these
complex centers.
