Nurses per Thousand People in Türkiye Below OECD Average
Published
According to the OECD's latest health indicators, Türkiye has 2.9 nurses per thousand people. This ratio remains quite low when compared with the OECD average of 9.2. Nurses are important health workers who are responsible for patient care in hospitals and healthcare institutions.
These data show that the number of nurses in Türkiye's healthcare services lags behind the international average. The number of nurses can have a direct impact on the quality of services and on how quickly and regularly patients are able to receive care. However, the report does not include a detailed explanation of the reasons behind this gap.
The OECD publishes indicators that regularly compare health systems in its member countries. These indicators are used to compare countries' health situations with one another. The data in question are seen as an important resource in evaluating health policies.
In conclusion, according to the OECD's latest data, the number of nurses in Türkiye is well below the average of its member countries. This situation once again highlights how important it is to increase the health workforce.
