Abstract
Activities aimed at the reconstruction of the health sector in Turkey have gathered pace in recent years. The current political administration has put the main objectives whose implementation in the health field is foreseen under the heading of “Health for All” before the public under the name of the Health Transformation Program (HTP). One measure of the success of the program will be what these newly developed measures change from the patient’s perspective. According to our research, conducted in Turkey using the questionnaire method, patients’ views about the HTP are generally positive but they emphasize that problems have still not been completely resolved. Although partial success has been established with the new measures, permanent success will only be possible with health criteria being conducted in a sustainable manner on the basis of OECD country averages.

Abstract
Sağlık sektörünün yeniden yapılandırılması amaçlı çalışmalar son yıllarda giderek hız kazandı. Mevcut hükümet “herkese sağlık” hedefiyle başlatmış olduğu sağlık reformu çalışmalarını “Sağlıkta Dönüşüm Programı” başlığı altında toplamış bulunmaktadır. Programın başarısının önemli bir ölçüsü hasta bakış açısıyla program uygulamalarının değerlendirilmesidir. Anket yöntemiyle Türkiye’deki hastanelerdeki hastalar üzerinde yaptığımız araştırmaya göre, program uygulamaları hakkında hastaların görüşleri genel olarak olumlu olmakla beraber, sorunların kısmen çözüldüğü bildirilmektedir. Elde edilmiş kısmi bir başarı olmasıyla birlikte, ancak sağlık göstergelerinin OECD ortalamalarını yakalaması ve sürekli kılınmasıyla kalıcı bir başarı söz konusu olacaktır.
