Türkiye’de Göç Süreci Kapsamındaki Sağlık Hizmetlerine Yönelik Bir Politika Analizi: Göçmen Sağlığı Merkezi Örneği
A Policy Analysis for Health Services in the Context of Migration Process in Türkiye: The Case of Migrant Health Center

Summary/Abstract: The migration crisis, which brought about important political consequences in Türkiye in the 21st century, has led to the implementation of important health policies and practices at both global and local levels. In this context, the Sıhhat Project, which represents an important application example for Türkiye, has planned the provision of primary, secondary and tertiary health services for migrants. The aim of this study is to analyze the policy process regarding migrant health centers, which cover the provision of primary health services of the Sıhhat Project, with a retrospective approach. In this regard, Sabatier's (2007) policy process approach was used in the analysis of the policy. The data used in the analysis are based on reports, documents and statistics published by official institutions and organisations. The fact that the analysis is limited to data available from official institutions and organisations indicates the limitations of the research. As a result of the policy process analyzed through the stages of coming to the agenda, formulation, enactment and implementation, policy recommendations were presented at macro and micro levels. As a result of the analysis conducted within the scope of migrant health centers, the improvements created by the policy, deficiencies and aspects that need to be developed were identified. In this way, both the policy process was clarified and it was evaluated whether effective results were achieved. In addition, in the light of the data obtained, a comparison between the immigrant health policies followed in Türkiye and European countries is presented.
