Health Services in Turkey with the View of Syrian Asylum Seekers
Abstract
The war in Syria since 2010 has caused a significant population movement by requiring the displacement of millions of people. Due to its geographical proximity and its policy, Turkey is the country that is most affected by this situation. Health is one of the most basic needs that all individuals may need at any time. According to the regulation published by AFAD and Ministry of Health, Syrian citizens can benefit from hospitals and health centers in Turkey. The aim of this study is to present the problems of Syrian asylum seekers during the health service purchase and to evaluate the views of Turkey on health services. According to this purpose, qualitative research method has been adopted and a district in Konya province where Syrians are most located has been preferred as a research area. Participants were contacted by means of sampling the snowball. Data were collected through a semi-structured form and then the results were evaluated through thematic analysis. As a result of the research, participants were pleased with the health services in Turkey and made positive evaluations. However, participants stated that there was a significant communication problem during the health service purchase.
