    The role of technological ınnovatıons in rising health care costs
    (2002) Köse, Seyid
    Despite the rising resources devoted to health care in various countries particularly in recent years, health services could not have been delivered at the extent of desired coverage and quality to the citizens. This paper examines the technology factor, considering the financial scheme of the sector, among various basic reasons of this fact what some of the current research argue. In this regard, the developments in health care sector in Turkey along with the OECD countries for this end are emphasized. Indeed, technology suppliers have charged the cost of investments in R&D in the sector from both own citizens and the technology importers. Consequently, Turkey as a technology importer should make a choice about the coverage extent in accessing to the technological advances in health sector for its citizens. In Turkey the studies related to planning and settling policies in health sector appear that they could not grasp neatly this phenomenon. This study aims at shedding some light on the matter so as to fill this void.
