Özet:

The global increase in health expenditures have always kept policymakers' search for alternative procurement methods on the agenda in order to save resources. Furthermore, the COVID-19 epidemic, which emerged in 2020 and caused a global crisis, demonstrated once again how critical and effective the health supply chain is from a public and sectoral perspective. In this study, how to market application, which began as new concept in public hospitals, is regarded as an example of digital transformation that arouses excitement in the health services supply chain.

The health market, which is an application being configured in the body of the state supply office, Turkey central procurement organization, is a project based on electronically collecting the demands of healthcare providers' drug needs and medical supplies and providing them through central procurement methods. In this study, the structural arrangements made with the effect of centralization in procurement policies in the Turkish Health System and the Health Market project, which is a current issue in its context, are discussed. In the evaluation made using the qualitative research design, the content analysis of the project announced in 2018 was made with the document review method. With this study, it is aimed to provide an information unit in order to develop the most ideal supply methods for our country's health system and to contribute to scientific research and political proposals in this field.
