WHAT DO FAMILY PHYSICIANS WANT?
The new "Family Medicine Payment and Contract Regulation" implemented by the Ministry of Health has drawn the reaction of family physicians. It is stated that the regulation, which is prepared based on performance, increases the workload and causes loss of rights. The Turkish Medical Association (TTB) is carrying out this strike action to protect professional dignity and demand better working conditions against this situation.
