Abstract: Abstract From the central policy making and the local implementation perspectives, Turkish health system has strong aspects including a robust and flexible IT system, local efforts on care coordination and multidisciplinary work. These aspects will help take the care integration efforts forward effectively. Good and increasing coverage of primary care structures together with increasing utilization figures imply public awareness and acceptance for the primary level services. These initial results present a good indication of success in the efforts to shift ambulatory care load towards the primary care.
