Turkey's health minister announced that Turkey will become an advanced nation in global health technology.
The minister noted that the country will be able to produce ultrasound Doppler devices locally, with the establishment of a manufacturing facility within Turkey.
This move reflects Turkey's efforts to strengthen its technological independence in the health sector and reduce reliance on imports.
Turkey will build a factory to produce Doppler ultrasound devices domestically instead of importing them from abroad. The move is part of Ankara's efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in medical devices and narrow the technology gap.
Producing these devices domestically will reduce the costs of medical services and medical imaging in the long term, which could be reflected in the prices of examinations and treatment in Turkish hospitals. Technological independence ensures the availability of these sensitive devices continuously without being affected by import restrictions or exchange rate fluctuations.
