# Ne oldu?

The Turkish Ministry of Health (T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı) has expanded its online statistics catalogue. The portal now offers annual health statistics yearbooks for every year between 2000 and 2024. In addition to the general yearbooks, the site provides dedicated statistical reports on malaria, cancer, and inpatient treatment institutions.

# Ayrıntılar

The statistics section of the ministry’s website (saglik.gov.tr) lists a series of publications under the heading "İstatistikler ve Yayınlar". Among these are the "Sağlık İstatistikleri Yıllığı" (Health Statistics Yearbook) editions for each year in the 2000‑2024 range. Specific disease-focused reports include "Sıtma İstatistikleri" (Malaria Statistics), "Kanser İstatistikleri" (Cancer Statistics) covering the period 2003‑2004‑2005, and "Yataklı Tedavi Kurumları İstatistik Yıllığı" (Inpatient Treatment Institution Statistics Yearbook). The portal also hosts periodic health bulletins summarising recent activity.

# Neden önemli?

Having a centralised, government‑sourced repository of health data enables researchers, policymakers and the public to track long‑term trends in disease occurrence and health‑service provision. The availability of yearbooks from the last two decades supports epidemiological analysis, resource planning and academic research without the need to request raw data from multiple sources. Moreover, the portal’s structure – organising statistics by disease, institution and year – simplifies comparison across time periods.

# Sırada ne var?

The ministry indicated that future updates will follow the annual publishing schedule. Users seeking the most recent data should monitor the "Haber Bülteni" (Health Bulletin) section for new releases. Additional specialty reports may be added as the ministry expands its statistical coverage.
