WHY ARE FAMILY PHYSICIANS ON STRIKE?
The new "Family Medicine Payment and Contract Regulation" implemented by the Ministry of Health has caused a reaction among family physicians. It is stated that this regulation, which is prepared based on performance, increases the workload and leads to loss of rights. The Turkish Medical Association (TTB) announced that it has decided to stop work between January 6-10 in order to protect professional dignity and demand better working conditions.
ARE FAMILY PHYSICIANS OPEN TODAY (MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2025)?
The work stoppage, which will begin today (January 6, 2025), will be carried out in 81 provinces and will continue until the end of working hours on Friday, January 10.

According to the statement made by the Turkish Medical Association (TTB), family physicians will be on strike between January 6-10, 2025. For this reason, community health centers will not provide service and will be closed during the specified dates. Community health centers are expected to resume service as of January 10, 2025.
