Abstract
Over the last two decades, Turkey has experienced significant shifts in its healthcare system through the implementation of the Health Transformation Program (HTP) led by the Justice and Development Party (AKP). Initially closely tied to AKP's political goals, the HTP has evolved, displaying different phases at its journey and, thus, prompting a reflective look. The recent controversial initiative by the AKP government, the establishment of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) hospitals, commonly known as şehir hastaneleri (city hospitals) in Turkey, has underscored a need for a reflective examination that considers various actors to comprehend the formation of health policies. This study critically delves into the HTP's transformation, noting a reduced emphasis on healthcare policy within the AKP's priorities, by exploring how private sector players respond and position themselves in Turkey's healthcare reform scene. Using official reports and declarations, the research investigates private actors' views on AKP's healthcare strategies, their satisfaction levels, policy adjustments, and financial impacts. The aim is to unravel the narratives and strategies of the private sector in the changing landscape of the HTP.
