    Assesment of health system performance in Türkiye over 2000-2023: A descriptive international comparative analysis
    (İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2025) Boyacı, İsrafil; Ahmed, Rimon
    This article aims to provide an assessment of the Turkish health system, which has been reformed with the Health Transformation Program 2003-2013 (HTP). The comparative performance of the transformed Turkish health system has been descriptively investigated using a sample of country-level data covering the years 2000-2023. The analyses, which contain both developed and emerging countries, reveal the level of progress and trends across the globe in the commonly used indicators about healthcare expenditure, health insurance coverage, healthcare inputs, healthcare utilization, health outcomes, and risk factors. As a result of the evaluations in this article, it has been revealed that despite lower healthcare spending, Türkiye has significantly improved the population health outcomes with relatively less healthcare spending, particularly during the HTP reform period; however, continuity of this progress has not been observed after the reform period. The findings of the article call for more investigations to address the question of whether the Turkish health system has spent less on healthcare over the last twenty years while getting more better health outcomes. Thus, this policy-relevant article points out the importance of continued investment to healthcare as well as the efficiency and productivity issues in Türkiye's healthcare system as topics that need to be researched further.
