Our General Directorate and Ministry of Health General Directorate of Public Hospitals organized ‘’Healthcare Products Market Training’’ between the dates of 05-09 November 2018 in Antalya for the relevant personnel working in Provincial Directorates of Health.

Our General Director Mücahit CİVRİZ started his speech by expressing his thanks to Mr. President and Ministers who provided support by including the project in the ‘’100-day Performance Programme’’of the Government.

Every Project Shoots for the Stars

Our General Director stated that the project was completed with a strong political support as a result of the devoted work of the project teams consisting of Ministry of Health and DMO officials. In addition, “I would like to thank all my friends in Healthcare Products Market project team, who created a miraculous work in such a short period, looked at the same horizon, felt the same excitement and created a great synergy. Each project shoots for the stars. However, applications may not be perfect at the beginning. In this application, we will get better with respect to supporting both domestic and national production and saving with your opinions, suggestions and support. He said ‘’From now on, we trust you for this project.’’ and emphasized that the project teams made a tremendous effort to implement the project.

(However, applications may not be perfect at first. In this application, with the help of your opinions, suggestions and support, we will achieve better in the name of saving both domestic and national production. After that, we entrust this project to you and emphasized that the project teams made a tremendous effort to implement the project.)

DMO (State Supply Office) is the Name of Public E-Commerce

Mr. CİVRİZ underlined that the Ministry of Health is an institution that knows DMO very well and said ‘’We have questions ‘’Do we still need an institution that sells paper?’’ directed to our institution. However, a lot has changed in DMO since 1926. Today, SSO DMO serves to the public with 26 thousand different products and it is the name of speed, trust, ease, public e-commerce for public procurements. Today, as an institution that makes most of its sales electronically, it has become ‘Ali Baba’ of the Public.

Healthcare Products Market Adds Value to All Stakeholders

Mr. CİVRİZ stated that we consider the project with a holistic approach and said: ‘’We have evaluated Healthcare Products Market application with the added value that will be provided to the whole country and all our stakeholders not with the advantages of the Ministry and DMO at the micro level.

Our General Director also stated that by making frequent purchases instead of the central bulk purchases through the Healthcare Products Market;

 Stocking period will be shortened in health facilities,

 Uninterrupted and continuous health service will be provided with a fast purchasing model,

 Payments will be made to the suppliers in short period of time and maturity of indebtedness will be shortened,

 An opportunity will be given to the vendors to make sales out of the cities where they are,

 The personnel employed in these processes in health facilities will be employed more effectively and efficiently,

 Domestic and national product supply will increase with 15% price advantage provided to domestic companies in the tender

 Products will be supplied with better quality  through the quality barrier.

Healthcare Products Market is the Output of Shared Wisdom

Our General Manager completed his speech by saying ‘’we see, hear and observe that the representatives of the sector and the Ministry of Health personnel have some worries about Healthcare Products Market. I have to say clearly that we have aimed to make this application as output of the shared wisdom. We have exchanged ideas with health personnel and NGOs during the project. We stated that we are open to suggestions. Comparison with the past does not lead us anywhere.When we started the project, we considered how good and beautiful works can be made better, more practical and more functional, we did not focus on negativities and inaccuracies and we continue on our way.
