Turkish Community

  • Turkish Community for Healthcare Professionals

    The HIMSS Turkish Community seeks to promote the use and adoption of health information and technology within the Turkish-speaking territories of Europe and Asia to improve Turkish healthcare system delivery. It provides a forum for Turkish professionals from the public and private sectors of information and technology medical and health sciences to network and collaborate.

    The community’s organisational partners operate as peers in the co-creation process by offering useful market insights on the status quo, pain points, trends and national eHealth priorities in Türkiye.

    The Turkish Community provides its members access to a national and international network of digital health leaders, ensuring they stay up to date on the latest digital innovations in the health field. It hosts education sessions that feature both local and international speakers, connecting its members with peers not only in Europe but also in the U.S. and other parts of the world. With its partners, the community hosts delegations to the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, where it presents education sessions on key trends in Turkish healthcare system delivery.
