Health Minister Memişoğlu: No hospital visit needed to renew drug report prescriptions

Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu spoke at the opening of Bartın State Hospital. He said citizens with a drug report can collect their medicine during the report period without having a prescription written again. He said that as a result, people will not need to go to hospital to have their drug report medicine prescribed.

The ministry will carry out this work together with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. The 450-bed Bartın State Hospital has 80 outpatient clinics, 8 operating rooms and 104 intensive care beds. Its construction used 265 earthquake isolators.

Memişoğlu said Türkiye has put 28 city hospitals into service and will open a 29th. He also noted that over the past 2 years, 276 doctors and 100 health staff have started work in Bartın.
