Municipalities in Turkey have implemented various public health programs to improve community well-being and access to medical services.

Muğla Metropolitan Municipality launched the ‘Sağlık için Sahadayız’ (We are in the Field for Health) project to provide medical services to rural neighborhoods. The initiative involves specialist doctors, physiotherapists, psychologists, and dietitians conducting screenings and providing health education in areas such as Gökpınar and Esençay.

In İzmir, the Metropolitan Municipality has opened applications for the second term of its Health Volunteers Project. Utilizing a ‘One Health’ approach that connects human, environmental, and animal health, the program seeks to improve health literacy and establish a sustainable community volunteering model.
