Impressive progress has been made in expanding financial protection to the population through expansions in the breadth and depth of health insurance coverage combined with service delivery reforms to improve equity in access to health services. This note summarizes the main developments in the area of health workforce policy and how these have affected key health workforce performance outcomes. Specifically, the main objectives are to: (i) summarize trends in key health workforce outcomes; (ii) compare health workforce outcomes in Turkey to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and other countries; (iii) discuss the impact of recent reforms in the health sector on health workforce outcomes; and (iv) highlight key health workforce policy issues for the future.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESAGE DISTRIBUTIONAGINGALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYANESTHESIABEDSC-SECTIONCAPITATIONCAPITATION PAYMENTSCITIZENSCLINICSCONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIPSCOST CONTROLCOST OF HEALTH SERVICESCURRENT POPULATIONDELIVERY OF HEALTH CAREDELIVERY SYSTEMDELIVERY SYSTEMSDEMAND FOR HEALTHDEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONSDENTISTDENTISTSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISEASESDOCTORDOCTORSDROPOUTEPIDEMIOLOGYEQUITY IN ACCESSFEE-FOR-SERVICEFEE-FOR-SERVICE SYSTEMSFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR DOCTORSFINANCIAL PROTECTIONFINANCIAL RESOURCESGENERAL PRACTITIONERGENERAL PRACTITIONERSGPSGYNECOLOGYHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE CENTERSHEALTH CARE FACILITIESHEALTH CENTREHEALTH CENTRESHEALTH DATAHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGEHEALTH INSURANCE SCHEMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SPENDINGHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM REFORMHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH TRAININGHEALTH WORKERSHEALTH WORKFORCEHEALTH-CAREHEALTH-CARE SYSTEMHOSPITALHOSPITAL AUTONOMYHOSPITAL BEDSHOSPITAL CAREHOSPITAL MANAGEMENTHOSPITAL UTILIZATIONHOSPITALSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESIMMIGRANTIMMIGRANT HEALTHINCOMEINDEXESINDIVIDUAL HEALTHINDIVIDUAL MEMBERSINEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTIONINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFORMAL SECTORINFORMAL SECTOR WORKERSINSURANCE SCHEMESINSURANCE SYSTEMINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERVENTIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOURNAL OF MEDICINELABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABORATORY EQUIPMENTLAWSLIVING STANDARDSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL EDUCATIONMEDICAL EXAMINATIONSMEDICAL SCHOOLMEDICAL SPECIALTIESMEDICAL STAFFMEDICAL TRAININGMEDICINEMIDWIFEMIDWIVESMIGRATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORTALITYNURSENURSESNURSINGNUTRITIONOBSTETRICSPATIENTPATIENT SATISFACTIONPATIENTSPEDIATRICSPHARMACISTPHARMACISTSPHYSICIANPHYSICIANSPOLICY LEVERPOOR QUALITY CAREPRIMARY CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CARE FACILITIESPRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICESPRIMARY HEALTH CARE SYSTEMPRIVATE HOSPITALSPRIVATE SECTORPROGRESSPROVIDER PAYMENTPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH INSURANCEPUBLIC HOSPITALSPUBLIC SECTORQUALITY OF CAREREFERRAL SYSTEMRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPECTRURAL AREASSCHOOL ENROLMENTSCREENINGSERVICE DELIVERYSHARE OF HEALTH SPENDINGSKILLED STAFFSOCIAL SECURITYSPECIALISTSPECIALISTSSURGERYUNEMPLOYMENTUNIVERSAL ACCESSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSVACCINATIONWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/13784
