Current Events > Turkey announces that it is making cancer treatments free.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Turkish government has just announced that they are opening up their wallets to provide free cancer treatments to their citizens.

Jlide Sarerolu, Minister of Labor and Social Security, reportedly published a statement this week saying that they have approved landmark healthcare reform that will eliminate all additional expenses and fees for cancer treatment.

According to the Hurriyet Daily News, Sarerolu said: As we are now abolishing the extra fees charged from the patient, this annual spending will rise to 750 million liras. A cancer patient will not pay any extra fee as the state will cover it all.

The Social Security Fund will now be paying $162.4 million (TL 750 million) annually, which is a substantial increase from their previous spending of $52 million (TL 240 million).

Sarerolu adds that this is only the beginning of the countrys efforts to rebuild their healthcare system regardless of cost, reports The Daily Sabah.

Good luck to them. No, really. If they make it work, great. It sounds like it could be a big problem later, but its a noble intention.

First world country.

I guess they need something to distract the Turkish public from the fact they are spiralling into a facist hellhole.
