Access to Health Services for Persons Having International Protection Status in Turkey
Abstract
Situated in the Anatolian geography between Asia and Europe, Turkey has actually a long migration history. For many years, Turkey has been involved in immigration studies as a transit country with a focus on international migration. However in this study, Turkey will be analyzed as a destination country. The rights granted to persons having international protection status in Turkey are explained in detail in the Law on Foreigners and International Protection. For instance, according to this law, all international protection status applicants or holders can benefit primary, secondary and tertiary health care services free of charge. So, within the scope of this study, health services provided to persons having international protection status will be evaluated in detail.
