Medtech companies serving the Turkish market are still not being paid fully what they are owed by hospitals. A partial payment was made at the beginning of October, but it was far from sufficient, according to the local medtech industry. The health care sector is now warning of possible disruption to hospital operations in the coming months, due to lack of medtech supplies.
Multinational companies are as frustrated as local companies about the current situation, and there is a general sense that confidence in Turkish health care policies is being impaired.
