HEALTH TOURISM NEEDS 15 THOUSAND EMPLOYEES
The Turkish health tourism sector, which reached an economic highest-record volume of US$10 billion before the COVID-19 pandemic and is working to maintain the momentum it has gained over the last 10 years during the epidemic, is looking for a solution to the support staff gap.
The Workshop on Health Tourism Education was held in Antalya that shed light on the future of the sector. Turkey Medicals Co-ordiinator emphasized the lack of support staff in the sector. Referring to support staff gap of the sector, said as follows:
“First of all, we have decided to replace the intermediate element as a support element as a decipherment. As for the support person, we have identified that the doctor is an individual who acts as a bridge between the patient and the doctor who provides support. Although these people are relatively present especially in Istanbul, when we think that medical tourism is being carried out in 81 provinces of Turkey, we see that we have serious problems both in number and quality in the support staff. Turkey hair transplantation on the average, about 2 thousand hair transplantation procedures are performed per day in Turkey.”
.
“For this number, there must be at least one support person for each case. It would not be wrong to say that there is a deficit of at least 15 thousand support staff from here. We have submitted our workshop reports to the Council of Higher Education in Turkey.”
