Turkish healthcare system is a mix of public and private health services. Turkey has universal health care under its Universal Health Insurance (Genel Saglik Sigortası) system. Under this system, all residents registered with the Social Security Institution (SGK). All residents can receive medical treatment free of charge in hospitals contracted to the SGK.
While some SGK-contracted hospitals offer dental care, in most cases, patients must rely on private dental services and are responsible for covering the costs. In addition, Turkish healthcare system’s patients must partially cover the cost of some prescription drugs and outpatient services.
Some banks and insurance companies offer their client to health plans. And that health plans/contract, the clients can go certain hospitals and doctors for medical treatments. Most private hospitals made contracts with insurance companies, however some cases they do not have a contract. Because of that if you want to buy a banks or an insurance company’s health plans, you need to check the hospitals which are working under plans’ agreement.
As we said at the beginning of the article, Turkish citizens can benefit from the SGK.
