THE OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF TÜRKİYE 2018 ANNUAL REPORT

We also receive many applications relating to healthcare. These applications are mostly about
problems experienced in emergency services, patient rights, and family practice centers. The
applicants usually complain about increased admissions in emergency services, ill-treatment of
healthcare personnel, violation of patient rights etc. Moreover, violent acts against medical staff
has become an increasing problem recently. Therefore, we also plan to organize a workshop to
discuss this problem by inviting all stakeholders including representatives from the Ministry
of Health, and prepare a report including the findings at the end of the workshop.

Hoping that 2018 Annual Report will serve as a guide in the forthcoming work of our
Institution as well as for our country and citizens, I wish that 2019 will be a fruitful year with
more progress in the field of protection and promotion of human rights in the world.
