Cyprus Turkish healthcare system planning issues

Overview

The Cyprus Turkish Medical Association (KTTB) has raised concerns regarding systemic failures in the healthcare system. President Prof. Dr. Ceyhun Dalkan attributed heavy congestion and long waiting times in emergency services to inadequate planning by the Ministry of Health, noting that healthcare infrastructure has failed to keep pace with population growth.

Dalkan argued that the lack of a functional tiered medical structure and a strengthened primary healthcare system has placed an undue burden on hospitals. He stated that constructing new buildings is insufficient without corresponding investments in medical equipment and trained human resources. He further called for the opening of the Girne and Güzelyurt hospitals, provided they are adequately staffed to prevent merely shifting existing problems to new locations.
