The economic problems that have arisen since the 1980s have brought about deterioration in the health status of individuals and society all over the world. As a result, countries have produced a number of policies in order to achieve better health status. Turkey has not been far from this policy and in the early 1990s, it has started to develop policies. In this scope the Health Transformation Program, one of the most important initiatives, was put into practice in 2003.
