The aim of this study is to conduct a SWOT analysis of the Türkiye healthcare system from the viewpoint of physicians. The sample for this study consisted of 22 physicians who voluntarily participated. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interview forms for data collection. Data were gathered both face-to-face and online. The obtained data were coded, and similar codes were categorized and themed. This study incorporated both SWOT analysis and content analysis methods. When examining the findings, physicians highlighted easy access and availability as the strong aspects of the Türkiye healthcare system. However, the system's weaknesses were predominantly identified as issues concerning healthcare professionals. On the other hand, medical tourism was pointed out as the most significant opportunity awaiting the health system, whereas the escalating violence towards healthcare workers was perceived as the biggest threat. The Türkiye Healthcare System stands out with strengths such as ease of access and advanced technological infrastructure, as well as opportunities like medical tourism. However, it also harbors pressing challenges, including violence against healthcare workers and medication shortages. It is anticipated that many of these issues will be addressed when the balance between demand and supply is achieved.

Bu çalışmada hekimlerin bakış açısıyla, Türkiye sağlık sisteminin SWOT analizinin yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın örnekleminin gönüllü katılım sağlayan 22 hekim oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yaklaşımı kullanılmış olup yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları ile veriler toplanmıştır. Katılımcılardan yüz yüze ve çevrimiçi olarak veriler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler kodlanmış ve birbirine benzeyen kodlar kategorileştirilerek temalaştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, SWOT analizinden ve içerik analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara bakıldığı zaman, katılımcı hekimlerin Türkiye sağlık sisteminin güçlü yönü olarak erişim ve ulaşılabilirliğin kolay olmasını, sistemin zayıf yönü olarak ise daha çok sağlık çalışanların sorunlarını vurgulamışlardır. Diğer yandan sağlık sistemini bekleyen en önemli fırsat olarak sağlık turizmi belirtilmiş ve sağlık sistemini bekleyen en büyük tehdit ise sağlık çalışanlarına yönelik artan şiddet olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Türkiye sağlık sistemi, erişim kolaylığı, teknolojik altyapı gibi güçlü yönleri ve sağlık turizmi gibi fırsatlarıyla dikkat çekerken; sağlık çalışanlarına yönelik şiddet ve ilaç eksikliği gibi acil çözüm gerektiren sorunları da barındırmaktadır.
