Unfortunately, sometimes there is disinformation, There are misperceptions.. good communication, Establishing a good means of communication is definitely valuable to us.. You are valuable to us. We see you as health ambassadors in the media. That's why we always want to be in communication on every issue.” he said.

Minister of Health Prof.. Dr. The details of Kemal Memişoğlu's speech and the question and answer section of the meeting are as follows::

Our approach: People First, Human Goodness

“I ask people, including Türkiye, 'What is the most essential part of happiness??When they ask, the first parameter is health., you know, i.e. percent 65-70 people on, They define the indispensable thing as health in their lives.. That's why we have to act with the awareness that health is the source of happiness.. We are related to human life. To the color of man, to the genus, We do not consider your opinion when providing health services, We serve everyone because they are equal and human.. Our approach: human first, we call the goodness of man, We call it the good of society, We call it the good of civilization and we call it the good of the world. Today, unfortunately, the world is a little bit of an evil civilization., evil prevails, people slaughter each other, in live broadcasts 45 We live in a world where thousands have died. We, as the good side, should work harder to fix this., we act together, We think the good side should act together. That's why we are working on how we can do better regarding health.. “We will all do better together.”

We Need to Explain the Harms of These to Society

“My priority is preventive medicine, primary care. I say this especially every time. without people getting sick, to take care of himself and his body without losing his health, We have to create management to keep it healthy. So, as the Ministry of Health, we need to work on this issue without losing our health.. We always say that we are not the ministry of diseases.. If we are the Ministry of Health, we should put preventive medicine first., We need to teach people the culture of preventive health. You are the important healthcare workers here.. Because you are the ones who will make news that will increase the health literacy of the society and raise their awareness.. While we produce or support these, we cannot increase the health literacy rate of the society or teach them to take care of themselves regarding health without your help.. Therefore, this responsibility is not just ours., you have it too. Because when we look at it today, Turkey's biggest problems are obesity., We see that it weighs, We see that there is addiction. It's just cigarettes, not substance abuse. We know that one of the most important addictions today is digital addiction.. In addition, the low fertility rate, inactivity of life, sedentary life becoming urbanized, very soon, maybe 30-40 Eating habits of a society that is urbanizing over the years, changing feeding habits, We all know that we have inactivity and weight problems caused by changes in lifestyle.. What does weight mean?? When you look at it, from stroke to joint disease, to heart disease, One of the main reasons for everything. Also, unfortunately, the smoking rate is very high in Turkey., Unfortunately, especially our young women and children have been using cigarettes more and more lately.. Cigarette is a substance that affects all kinds of diseases, from lung cancer to COPD.. That's why we need to tell society about their harm.. In addition, we call the fertility rate, society sometimes criticizes, 'Why are you interfering with us?' But when you look at it, it's not possible without children.. Siblings are also important in the family. People develop with siblings. You are sharing, you are struggling, you support each other. But we do not only look at this issue from the brother's side.. Also, Turkey's renewable population should not decrease.. Population growth rate 1,5 This means that the population is decreasing, Let alone aging, it means it is decreasing.. We need to raise public awareness on this issue.. We prepared a Normal Birth Action Plan, you know. But we need to explain this to the society. From your doctor, to his patient, restrained, to the whole family that birth is normal, We need to explain together that the other one had surgery.. This species is what we call particularly protective., "We want you to support our policies that will protect health without getting sick, and to give a message to many communities about this issue."

We See This as the Success of the Family Physician

“We said from the very beginning that we would support family medicine.. Because family medicine is the first thing society will turn to and is our closest health ambassador., The door where we provide health services. That's why there is a legislation regarding family medicine., We changed the regulations. Besides that 2025 Our goal is to build approximately a thousand new Family Health Centers this year., To create an infrastructure that will serve them better with corporate identity. We also have a goal of a Healthy Life Center, 100We want to do over 2025 in the year. Preventive medicine, is the most important element of basic health. There may sometimes be disinformation regarding legislation., There may also be misperceptions. Here we say, Population registered with family physician 3 By reducing the number to 1,500, the physician is required to follow all health-related parameters of the people registered with him., especially the elderly group, diabetic, We want people to follow groups such as blood pressure patients.. Let there be no misunderstanding, We do not cut the salaries of family physicians. We are trying to give more incentives to family physicians based on the health of their population.. And we want it to take an active role in ensuring that its own population does not get sick.. For this reason, we compare the family doctor with himself.. If the population, If the population for which he is responsible is healthier than in the previous period, we see this as the success of the family physician.. Because the people in the region he is responsible for, if they take care of themselves, If he does not get sick, we see that the person who will ensure this is the family doctor and we know that the person has his own responsibility.. That's why we trust family physicians in this regard., We know that their income will also increase. We want the difference between working and non-working to be clear.. We will encourage it, we will give extra, We will pay fees to family physicians. “We do not want there to be disinformation on this issue.”

Seven Times Difference 2,5 We made a difference

“We know that there are problems in some branches regarding appointments., We will solve them as soon as possible. Today's new appointment and relocation regulation (Regulation on Amendments to the Ministry of Health Appointment and Relocation Regulation) we published. As you know, the distribution of physicians in Turkey 2002 There was a sevenfold difference between the most developed region and the underdeveloped region in. There were seven times as many medical personnel in our developed regions. Right now 2,5 We made a difference. "We published such a regulation to reduce this to a minimum."

We Do a Complete Check-Up of Our Ministry's Services

“Biz, We carry out a complete check-up of the services of our Ministry. In other words, our inspection procedures, We are in the process of restructuring our health services. In this regard, we have established a scientific commission for inspection and evaluation regarding the newborn.. We will do this in all branches: Urgent, adult intensive care, like oncology. "We are working on how we can make the operation more effective by controlling our service areas."

We Want to Produce Health Science and Knowledge

“In order to be a little more effective, especially in health tourism, through USHAŞ, We aim to expand our health services by restructuring USHAŞ and making USHAŞ more effective in health tourism.. We think that the public side, in particular, needs to improve a little more in this regard.. Besides preventive and basic health services, what I care most about is, We also want your support on this issue because we have a long way to go in this regard., we have work to do, We only provide health services, We do not want to be a country that provides good healthcare, While we provide health services, we also want to produce health science and knowledge.. Currently, Turkey's healthcare professionals, especially the physician group, are truly seen as the world's pride., our pride in the world; in the sense of knowledge, in the sense of diligence. This also needs to be known by society. We all live in this country. Health services last 20 It has developed incredibly over the years under the leadership of our President.. And we saw it in the world with COVID-19, We saw during the earthquake that you live in a country where health services are a role model to the world.. The healthcare professionals and physician group who do this, our healthcare system. Very exceptional, those who do not have their share of humanity, Moreover, those who were caught and imprisoned, I want our one and a half million healthcare workers to not lose their rights.. When you look, For Istanbul, infant deaths have been reduced from 35 to 7.1 per thousand live births., Reduced to 9.2 for Türkiye. Premature 37 From a health system where the survival chance of our babies born under 8 weeks has been increased to over 95 percent., we are talking about healthcare workers. life span 78 from a health system that has reached the age of, we are talking about healthcare workers. We must not allow this to be maligned or damaged due to a few unlucky reasons.. The fault of a few people, His cruelty and great services, Services and employees who are better than Europe and the world should not be blamed.. You are the ones who will achieve this, we are, responsible people.”

After all, we are here for them too

"I'm wandering around the field. in four months 28 I went to our city. Our friends in the field, of our employees in the healthcare system, including university, We listened to the problems, including the private sector, we had a meeting, we saw on the spot. In general, we received the requests of our friends. Because after all, we are here for them too. provide services with them, support them, We are here to work with them., "We try to identify problems and solve them more effectively."

We Are Creating an Ecosystem on This Subject

“We need to produce, we need to produce science. We are creating an ecosystem on this subject. I especially want you to follow this and motivate our scientists.. Because we need to produce. We need scientists to produce, We need to bring finance and government together. Look, we won't just do science, we need to produce science. We need to produce science materials, we need to produce medicine. That's why we design TUSEB to create this ecosystem in this regard.. Productive means health, essentially in the future 10 next year, 20 We want it to be the most important part of the health ecosystem next year.. We are also restructuring USHAŞ. These two issues are important to us. Just as we call basic health and preventive health, we also call health and health technology that produce it at least as much., We need to make science produced in Turkey.”

Percentage to Family Physicians 10 Quota

“Actually, our Ministry of Labor and Social Security asked us about this issue with an organization., Of course we gave our opinion. Optional reports, As you know, these are done with second and third stage pricing.. So, when you go to the hospital, you get these reports for a fee.. Family physicians use these reports, We approved it because we wanted it to be cheaper than the second and third level pricing.. This is not an unpriced report, I want you to know it. If it is only done in family medicine, we want a fee to be charged as well.. The fees will be spent on family medicine and improving the physical structure of family health centers.. So, it should not be perceived as if a new fee is being charged.. Optional reports are already paid at the second and third level.. These reports should also be given by family physicians., We want a certain amount less to be taken from the second and third steps when giving. With family medicine, We want to ensure integration of primary and secondary care. We want a disease to be solved or treated in family medicine to be solved without going to the second or third level.. in the right place, at the right time, We are trying to organize to provide effective treatment.. If the patient will be treated in family medicine, there is no need for him to go to the emergency room or second or third step.. We open the following authorization with the family physician:. We say you can make appointments for your own patients.. And percent in all hospitals 10 quota, We open the MHRS quota to family physicians until the end of work the day before.. Thus, we enable family physicians to make appointments at hospitals for their own patients.. Thus, we will ensure integration. As of next year, we will build a structure that will provide mutual communication.. Because with the second and third steps, “Integration of primary care and communication with each other is very important.”

We strive to make all kinds of applications that will benefit human health feasible.

Answering the question about traditional and complementary medicine training for family physicians, Minister of Health Memişoğlu, “There needs to be secondary legislation on this issue.. We will enact secondary legislation. We will increase training along with secondary legislation.. There will be no problem with this. We approach with a logic that favors the integrated work of traditional medicine and current medicine.. We strive to make all kinds of applications that will benefit human health possible.. We are introducing such legislation to make family physicians more effective in this regard.. Secondary legislation will also be issued after the law.. How to study, "We will look at what kind of system will be established." he said.

Applications Will Make the Family Medicine System More Effective

“With the regulations and laws to be issued, basic health services will be, We strive to prioritize primary health care. I understand the concerns of our family physicians. 5-6 We think we will be in much better places after the month has passed.. After the application, we will see the beneficial and problematic aspects of the application.. Our prediction, These practices will make the family medicine system more effective and put it at the center of the system.. "We can also make positive revisions by making the necessary follow-ups after the application."

We Give Family Physicians Responsibility for the Health of Their Own Population

“I would also like to respond to the disinformation that we cannot prescribe medicine.. The amount of medication prescribed to a patient group within a period, If the amount of medication prescribed in the previous period is the same or less, we give incentives to the family physician.. If the number of hospital visits of the registered population is the same or less compared to a period ago, this means that the family physician has made that population healthier.. At this point, we provide incentives and additional payments. Moreover, we doubled this incentive. We give family physicians responsibility for the health of their own population. Family physicians who keep their population healthy are successful.. We do not interfere with any physician's treatment and do not prevent him from prescribing medication.. 'We cannot prescribe medicine., "I think the intention of saying 'the Ministry banned it' is not nice."

Our Work on Public Hospitals and Health Tourism Will Continue

“We have been using our Provincial Health Directors since October., We follow our District Health Directors and Chief Physicians with certain parameters.. employee satisfaction, patient satisfaction, We evaluate application rates through the electronic system.. Compares managers compared to the previous period, We measure success indices. They can also see these indices themselves. Our work on public hospitals and health tourism will continue.. “We will make some legislative changes.”

Many Issues Affect the Fertility Rate

“He repeats that caesarean section is a surgical method regarding fertility rates., We continue to inform our society on this issue.. Socioeconomic reasons, Many prominent issues, such as the effects of urbanization and the shrinking of the family, affect the fertility rate.. Ministry of Family and Social Policies, We are fighting this issue together with the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.. Primary cesarean section rate According to the data announced by the World Health Organization 10 may occur in only one or both births. However, our primary cesarean section rate is one in every two births.. “Society perceives cesarean section as a form of birth.”

We are also working on legislation that will increase the effectiveness of midwives.

“We can make our midwives more active and, We work to provide more support to mothers during and after birth.. The person who should prepare the mother for birth during this emotional period of the mother is the midwife.. We are also working on legislation that will increase the effectiveness of midwives.. It will be published this week or next week. We want midwives to be effective. Especially in the last three months of pregnancy, At the stage when the feeling of motherhood begins to be experienced more intensely, We want midwives to prepare pregnant women for birth. We say that normal birth has important benefits not only for the mother but also for the baby.. As Ministries, we are doing our best regarding the fertility rate.. As you know, the number of leaves given to mothers has been increased.. Unpaid leave was abolished and turned into paid leave. Studies on these continue. We must all work together to explain to mothers and expectant mothers that birth is a physiological event.. We also need to change the social demand for caesarean sections. Caesarean section is a surgery, We need to tell the society that there is no birth method.. Medically, one or two in ten births may require surgery. In eight cases, there was a physiological event that did not require surgery., "If many births occur by cesarean section, it means there is a problem in this area."

We Need to Change Prejudices About Normal Birth

“We have to use many parameters that will support normal birth holistically.. hospitals, physicians, We need to change prejudices about normal birth by making evaluations on the scale of expectant mothers and society.. The most emotional mothers here are. If we prepare mothers well, I think these problems will be solved if we increase the courage of mothers about birth.. “We will work more on hospitals where the primary cesarean section rate exceeds 20 percent.”

We Are Completely Renewing Private Hospitals Legislation

“We are completely renewing the private hospitals legislation. We see that some changes are needed in terms of legislation in private hospitals.. public hospitals, All university hospitals and private hospitals must provide the same standard of service.. Have to treat the same way with the same scientific study. Very good examples in private hospitals, There are surgeries performed around the world. We do not discriminate between private and public regarding cesarean section rates.. It will be more effective in 2025 in line with our studies on primary cesarean section rates., We will make efforts to encourage expectant mothers to have normal birth.. “We also plan to introduce encouraging elements for midwives.”

Türkiye is the Partner of Production in the Field of Health

“In our Ministry, Turkish scientist Dr.. I also met with Özlem Türeci. We will support scientists in this country. 10. I had a meeting with very successful scientists who have worked abroad at the Turkish Medical World Congress.. They will come here. I also tell foreign investors to come here and invest.. Türkiye is no longer a health market, Türkiye is the partner of production in the field of healthcare. We work together with TUSEB. We will provide the best support to anyone who is foreign and wants to invest in Turkey or who is Turkish and wants to invest abroad.. It will produce science from science, will produce in the field of healthcare, We will support everyone who will create added value. We will create a structure that can generate financial income by producing science from science.. I'm not talking about doing science, I'm talking about producing science.. I will say a new word, I will create something new, I found something new, We will support everyone who has a claim at home and abroad in the best way possible.”

Medicine is a Profession of Emotion and Dedication

“We physicians are valuable and sensitive people.. We are going through a difficult process with a lot of effort.. And then throughout our lives 24 We always strive for the well-being of people and have a commitment to them.. This profession is not just a materialistic profession.; spiritual side, pleasure, There is also an obligation to develop a sense of empathy. We have a nature that worries about someone else's problems.. We are essentially making art.. I want our doctors to be valuable; They also want to feel valued. We will support our physicians who practice good medicine.. Taking care of his patient, I will stand behind every physician who has a sense of dedication.. I say this as a Minister: Not for caring for patients in secondary and tertiary care, We will stand behind physicians who work to treat and care for patients.. Not for taking care of the patient, We will practice medicine to treat and embrace. I say it very clearly. Taking care of his patient, worried about his troubles, I stand behind all our empathetic physicians.. Doctors are very valuable. Medicine is a profession of emotion and dedication.”
