Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu attended the Health Reporting Training Program. Speaking there, Memişoğlu said, "Our primary goal is preventive medicine. We have reduced our appointment waiting rates by 60 percent."
Highlights from Memişoğlu's statements are as follows:
What physicians can do is included in our own training curricula, what general practitioners can and cannot do. At the same time, we have a Medical Specialization Board regarding specialty training. They also define the training curricula for specialists and what they can do. If you give initiative to a small group, underground practices increase, and control mechanisms break down. Therefore, we will make this controlled and ensure that these wrong practices you mentioned or people who do not have the authority for this are controlled much better.
CRITICISMS OF THE FAMILY MEDICINE REGULATION
Family medicine is a professional group we care about very much. In the last strike action, 80 percent of our family physicians did not participate in this practice or the strike; they did not believe the disinformation. Of course, we will be criticized, and of course, some will react. We are striving for physicians not to have cause for reaction.
INSPECTION OF PHARMACIES REGARDING BOOTLEG ALCOHOL
Not only pharmacies, but also drug warehouses and production centers; they already occur in certain amounts. I believe that those who do this have no share in humanity. One wonders how an income that threatens a person's life could be of any benefit to oneself. This is, by definition, murdering people.
