TÜBİTAK Projesi, 2018 - 2019
The Turkish health system has sustained a
major shock in the form of over 3.5 million refugees over the past 5 years,
heavily concentrated in southern and southeastern regions. The government of
Turkey made a humanitarian decision to provide free care to all registered
Syrian refugees. We use an health administrative dataset on all public care
provided to Syrian refugees from 2012-2014 to show where refugees are receiving
care, and for what conditions. Similarly the resource readiness of the health
institutions that are treating them is assessed, and the evolution of these
capabilities charted. We also generate estimates of the cost of this care,
broken down to the main categories of expenditure. Initial estimates of the
efficiency of care is also provided. Results suggest an evolving health
absorption strategy, with crucial new integrations occurring with respect to
NCD`s and dental applications, but a significant underrepresentation of mental
health related applications.
