Turkish public health preventative services

Overview

Public health services in Turkey are focusing on preventative care and specialized medical treatments through various regional centers.

In Eskişehir, the Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening and Education Center (KETEM) conducts door-to-door outreach and provides free screenings in public locations such as markets and shopping centers. These efforts aim to improve survival rates through early detection.

Other regions are expanding specialized services, such as the Healthy Life Center in Van, which offers free cancer screenings, smoking cessation support, and assistance for vulnerable groups including the elderly and disabled. Additionally, in Trabzon, a multidisciplinary obesity center provides personalized treatment plans for patients with a body mass index of 30 or higher to prevent complications like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
