Healthcare Expenditures in Türkiye Saw a Significant Increase in 2024
According to data shared by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), there was a significant rise in Türkiye's current health expenditures in 2024. Nationwide health expenditures increased by 92.7 percent compared to the previous year.
According to official data, the total amount of health expenditures reached 2 trillion 186 billion 802 million Turkish Liras. This figure reveals that the budget allocated by Türkiye to the health sector and the financial activity in this field have nearly doubled compared to last year.
Experts state that the primary reasons for this increase include the rising demand for healthcare services, investments in medical technology, and the impact of general economic conditions.
