You, Chairman Mahmut Faruk Doğan, made important statements about the elections held during the 76th Grand Congress of the Turkish Medical Association (TTB). Stating that the TTB had strayed from its founding purpose, Doğan emphasized that steps should be taken to correct this situation.
Criticism of TTB Election System
Doğan pointed out that TTB should fully represent physicians and stated that the current election system prevents real representation. For this reason, he argued that the proportional representation system should be applied instead of a slate list in TTB elections.
Suggestions and Calls
Another issue Doğan included in his statements was the need for a representative from the Ministry of Health to be present in the management of the Turkish Medical Association. He stated that this situation would strengthen TTB’s relations with the public and contribute to the inspection process.
Doğan emphasized that the elections held for TTB to return to its original purpose were a great opportunity and that constructive steps should be taken in this process, and pointed out that TTB should undertake an important role in protecting the rights of physicians and developing the health system.
