Family doctors across Turkey have decided to go on strike for five days starting today. Therefore, family doctors and health centers will suspend health services throughout the week. THEY WANT THE CANCELLATION OF THE PERFORMANCE-BASED SYSTEMThe strike initiated against the Family Physicians Contract and Regulation is a continuation of the work stoppage action that took place on November 5-7. Family doctors are reacting to the new regulation dated November 1, which regulates their working and personal rights, and are demanding the cancellation of the performance-based system, adjustment of salaries, and reduction of workload. "IF YOU GO TO MORE THAN 7 STATE HOSPITALS A YEAR..."While the repercussions of the incident continue, a family doctor participating in the work stoppage expressed their reaction by saying, "If you go to more than 7 state hospitals a year, our salary will be cut. Which teacher has their salary cut if their student takes private lessons, and which imam has their salary cut if their congregation does not come to the mosque?"
