| Summary: | Turkey is an upper middle-income country
that has seen rapid economic growth and development over the
last decade. In a relatively short period, it has
essentially achieved universal health insurance (UHI)
coverage of the population, high levels of financial
protection and equity, and high and rising levels of
consumer satisfaction, while significantly improving health
outcomes. The universal health coverage (UHC) strategy,
embedded in its Health Transformation Program (HTP), was
initiated in 2003 to improve the effectiveness of the health
system through improved governance, efficiency, and user and
provider satisfaction. |
