In 2003, the Government of Turkey
launched an Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) reform called
the 'Health Transformation Program' (HTP). The HTP
was designed to address these health system challenges. It
was recognized at the outset that without system-wide
reforms, significant and sustainable changes in health
system performance could not take place. The overall
objective of the HTP was to make the health system more
effective by improving governance, efficiency, user and
provider satisfaction, and long-term sustainability. The
main elements of the HTP are: (i) establishment of a single
purchaser in the health system; (ii) focusing the Ministry
of Health (MoH) on stewardship functions; (iii) making the
public sector health services delivery network autonomous;
and (iv) strengthening human resources management and
information systems in the health system. In its technical
focus and paradigm, the HTP represents a classic
'textbook' approach to HSS which many Bank clients
are trying to implement. |
