City hospitals took budget hostage

The statements of the Minister of Health provoked reactions. CHP Bursa Deputy Kayıhan Pala criticized Minister Koca and stated that the user fee of city hospitals in 2024 will increase by 108 percent to 57 billion 554 million TL, and the service fee will increase by 38 percent to 26 billion 143 million 118 thousand TL.

EXCEEDS 11 PERCENT

Kayıhan Pala said that the total cost of the city’s hospitals will increase by 111.4 percent and reach 83.7 billion Turkish liras. Pala stated that the daily cost of the city’s hospitals will be 229 million Turkish liras in 2024: “The city’s hospitals have taken the budget of the Ministry of Health hostage. More than 11 percent of the budget goes to these hospitals. The President had announced that a municipal hospital would be built with a budget of more than 30 Public Private Partnerships (PPP), but the Ministry of Health retracted that error and limited it to 18. “This is an important decision, I congratulate you” , said.

18 city hospitals

Regarding the city’s hospitals, Minister Fahrettin Koca said: “Our efforts continue to transform our city’s hospitals into an academic structure under the umbrella of the Health Academy. In 2023, the construction of Kocaeli, Izmir and Gaziantep urban hospitals was completed with the Public Private Partnership model. “Our 17 city hospitals began providing health services with a capacity of 28,000 beds,” he said. The Minister stated that the construction process of the Kütahya Municipal Hospital continues.
