The statement from the ministry recorded the following: "MHRS provides services without any discrimination, and there is no restriction based on marital status for making appointments for gynecology and obstetrics clinics.

"EXAMINATION CONDITIONS AND TESTING PROCESSES VARY BY SPECIALTY"

In order for our citizens to create appointments correctly and according to their needs, our hospitals may add some additional information based on the qualifications of the examination rooms they have established. This is a valid situation for every specialty and every examination room. Indeed, the examination conditions and testing processes of each specialty vary. This application aims to provide more efficient and effective service, as seen in developed countries. This application in the MHRS system is not a restriction or a rule.

"NOT EXCLUSIVE TO GYNECOLOGY"

Some hospitals have explanatory information in their systems to ensure that citizens are directed to the correct clinic. Such additional information is not exclusive to gynecology but is also valid for many specialties. The aim is to make the patient's consultation process with the physician healthier and more prepared."
