%X In the last thirty years, the health sector has ceased to be the main subject of the social state understanding. It has turned into a profit-oriented organization under the domination of capital. Especially during the Covid pandemic, a thoroughly imperialist approach has been displayed regarding vaccination, which is fundamental to health, including the development, sale, and information given of the vaccine. Tens of thousands of Turkish doctors went abroad to oppose the wild capitalist system and the government¡¯s health policies. Türkiye¡¯s healthcare system has almost collapsed. University hospitals have become sources of unfair profit for doctors with private practices [1]. University hospitals can only use their facilities by paying a particular fee to these doctors. State hospitals cannot make appointments. The heavy burden of immigrants due to wrong immigration policies puts a strain on the system. The process, which includes privatization, huge hospitals operated by public-private partnerships, the confinement of doctors to business capitalists, the creation of a health system based on imports from vaccines to medical supplies, and a move away from the social state approach for years with a minister of health operating a private hospital, is examined. This article systematically examines the healthcare system, which has become cumbersome and made available to capital for profit by reflecting it from Türkiye specifically to the world.
