GOVERNMENT PUBLIC HOSPITALS PROJECTS WITH 3.000 BEDS
The Turkish Medical Association (TTB) announced the results of the survey among health workers working in the city public hospitals in Turkey with a press conference. “During the two periods when the covid-19 pandemic peaked, the new city hospitals did not respond to the need,” he said, noting that the construction of government city public hospitals so large was not suitable for scientific and public health projects.
TTB’s ‘Pandemic period City Hospitals Survey, announced. Health workers at 13 new hospitals in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and other cities participated in the survey. Respondents to the survey said that the management of city hospitals by companies had a negative impact on service delivery during the epidemic period. The survey cited answers to questions about the physical condition of city hospitals, service delivery, employee rights, and problems during the pandemic period. “Health care should be protective and public,” the pollsters said, noting that the health care system in Turkey cannot be run on profit logic. If this is not done, the progress of the epidemic, as in the pandemic, cannot be prevented from aggravating the table or preventing too many extra deaths,” was said.

HOSPITAL TRADING HOUSE, PATIENT CUSTOMER
The business of the Turkey City Hospital of patients was seen as a customer service delivery in the period of the epidemic of the city hospital, where 53% of the survey specified to be adversely affected by the “Covid-19th to the needs of the peak period of the pandemic in two city hospitals did not respond. These results again show that city hospitals are not suitable projects for Community Health. It’s not scientific to make city hospitals this big. Having a lot of closed spaces does nothing but save money for companies. Hospitals of this size are no longer built in the world. Abandoning these projects in a short time will be much more beneficial for both the Turkish health system and our country’s economy, our future young people and our children.”

CLEAN HOSPITAL CONCEPT NOT CONSIDERED
Survey participants noted that outpatient applications to outpatient clinics decreased by 72.9 percent during the pandemic period, noting that “such a decrease in application to outpatient clinics can occur in pandemics. It is important to note that so many people cannot get health care in Turkey. The reason for this is that all hospitals are turned into pandemic hospitals, and the Turkish Ministry of Health does not consider the concept called clean hospitals. Especially cancer patients and those with chronic disease do not want to come to city hospitals, their disease has progressed, treatment has been disrupted and death rates have increased,” he said.
