Turkey's democratic transition to universal health coverage

摘要

This week we publish a part of Turkey's own story, independently reviewed and assessed, about a remarkable revolution in health. A decade ago, Turkey launched policies to achieve universal health coverage, an initiative the Turkish Government called its Health Transformation Program. The analysis we publish today attempts to evaluate this programme-its design, implementation, impact, the reasons for its success, lessons from its failures, and the challenges it faces in coming years. No health programme on the scale of that introduced by Turkey can ever be perfect. The Health Transformation Program is no exception.
