The Draft Law submitted on 24 June 2025 to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey is a remarkable and important legislative proposal, as it includes many regulations on the provision of health services, professional authorizations, as well as product and service audits related to the Turkish Healthcare System.
In the general justification of the Draft Law, it is stated that various regulations and amendments are planned in line with the “Program for a Healthy Turkey Century” to provide better and higher-quality healthcare services and preserve the country’s strength in the health sector.
This initiative aims to enhance the Turkish Healthcare System to meet the evolving needs of the population.
If the proposal becomes law, there will be significant changes in the obligations of individuals and legal entities operating in the Turkish Healthcare System.
Some important provisions of the Draft Law can be summarized as follows:
It can be considered that the Draft Law aims to create a legal infrastructure suitable for digitalized healthcare services. Of course, the adequacy of these regulations are open to discussion.
Amidst discussions on preventing psychologists who do not have the title of clinical psychologist from seeing clients (by evaluating them as auxiliary personnel), changing the titles and statuses of health personnel such as “assistant midwife” and “assistant nurse” and excluding psychologists in this proposal may raise questions about the adequacy of the regulation.
Following the provision of the Law stipulating that the criteria for digital technologies and services will be determined by the Ministry of Health, the needs of the industry should be considered during the creation of secondary legislation, and legal foundations should be laid with the opinions of all stakeholders.
The restriction on physicians and dentists working for a maximum of two health institutions with permanent staff may be taken to the Constitutional Court with the claim that it restricts the freedom to work.
However, it is indisputable that the envisaged regulations will create administrative and technical obligations for the public and private sectors. They will also require a review of legal risk management and compliance processes, especially regarding the provision of healthcare services, and the sales and promotion activities of medical products.
