Turkey private hospital regulation updates

Overview

The Turkish Ministry of Health has implemented comprehensive changes to the Private Hospitals Regulation, as published in the Official Gazette. A central feature of these updates is an inspection exemption system tied to accreditation levels from the Health Services Quality and Accreditation Institute (TÜSKA). Hospitals with platinum or gold accreditation receive three-year inspection exemptions, silver-level facilities receive two years, and bronze-level facilities receive one year, though extraordinary inspections may still occur due to complaints.

The regulation also modifies technical and staffing requirements. Private hospitals may meet certain needs, such as medical biochemistry or microbiology laboratories and X-ray equipment, through on-site service procurement from licensed external providers. Specifically, hospitals must possess either a mobile X-ray device or an X-ray device with at least 500 mA power, though procurement remains an option. Additionally, the updates increase the tolerance for physical measurement deviations from 2% to 5% and provide certain exemptions for hospitals licensed before January 30, 2025. A new mechanism also allows provincial health directorates to grant special permission for physicians to transfer patients if a facility cannot perform a planned intervention.

In addition to these regulatory shifts, regional healthcare capacity is being expanded through new staffing and facility allocations. This includes the opening of a 5-bed Level 1 Intensive Care Unit at Didim State Hospital, the allocation of 24 new doctor positions in Osmancık, and the assignment of 266 medical staff members to Hakkâri to strengthen local services.
