The Development of Health Systems and Policies in Türkiye and Saudi Arabia: A Comparative Study (1960-2020)

Öz

This study sought to compare the health system in Saudi Arabia and Turkey from 1960 to 2020. A comparative approach was used, using historical data, such as demographic information, life expectancy, infant mortality rate, urban and rural population, as well as the number of health professionals and the number of individuals per health professional. The budget of the Ministry of Health was also reviewed. From the state budget, gross domestic product, the number of hospitals and beds, and their distribution between the private and public sectors in each country. The study reached a number of conclusions, including that Turkey and Saudi Arabia have made major changes in health care to make it better and more accessible over the past 60 years. The way health care is paid for differs, as Turkey has a universal system and Saudi Arabia uses public and private insurance. Access to health care services has become easier now in both countries, but there are still problems in obtaining affordable and available treatment. Improving the quality of health care and maintaining patient safety are important focuses in both countries. They are investing in new infrastructure and technology. and health care systems in Turkey and Saudi Arabia have their own unique characteristics. They face challenges in providing high-quality, affordable health care.
