Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türk dış politikasında giderek yaygınlaşan bir yumuşak güç stratejisi haline gelen sağlık diplomasisinin araçlarını incelemeyi ve uygulama sonuçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Sağlık diplomasisi faaliyetleri, tarihsel bağlamı içerisinde örgütsel ve kurumsal veri ve dokümanlarla çözümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Türkiye jeopolitik, jeoekonomik ve jeostratejik önemlerinden ötürü Kafkasya, Balkanlar, Orta Doğu ve Afrika ülkeleri ile ikili ilişkilerini geliştirmek ve güçlendirmek için insani sağlık yardımlarını, diplomatik bir araç olarak kullanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda yurtdışında sağlık tesisleri inşa edilmesi, bilimsel işbirlikleri, yabancı öğrencilere burs verilmesi, tedavi amaçlı hasta getirilmesi, sivil toplum kuruluşlarının insani yardım faaliyetleri gibi araçlar; ülkeleri birbirine yakınlaştırma, diplomatik nüfuzu, bölgedeki olumlu imajı ve dini bağları güçlendirme yanında yeni pazar arayışlarına da hizmet etmektedir. Böylece sağlık, dış politika ve ticaret arasındaki ilişkinin kesişim alanı olan sağlık diplomasisi, Türkiye’nin dış politika hedeflerine ulaşmasında katalizör rol oynamaktadır.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the tools of health diplomacy, which has become an increasingly widespread soft power strategy in Turkish foreign policy, and to evaluate the results of its implementation. Health diplomacy activities were tried to be analyzed by organisational and institutional data and documents within their historical context. Due to its geopolitical, geoeconomic and geostrategic importance, Turkey uses humanitarian health aid as a diplomatic tool to develop and strengthen its bilateral relations with the countries of the Caucasus, the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa. In this context, medical diplomacy tools such as establishing of health facilities abroad, scientific collaborations, granting scholarships to foreign students in medical sciences, providing direct medical care, humanitarian aid activities of non-governmental organizations; it serves to bringing countries closer together, strengthening diplomatic influence, positive image and religious ties in the region, and also searching for new markets. Thus, health diplomacy, which is the interface of the relationship between health, foreign policy and trade, plays a catalytic role in achieving Turkey's foreign policy goals.
