Support from SGK for the treatment of children with leukemia!

Turkey’s Social Security Institution (SGK) said it paid 7.43 billion lira in the first seven months of the year to cover health expenses for children with leukemia. The figure highlights the scale of public spending on pediatric cancer care under the state health insurance system. The SGK disclosure comes as Ankara continues to manage pressure on public health budgets from costly treatments. What to watch next: whether the monthly payment pace accelerates in the remaining five months and how the SGK accounts for oncology costs in its annual budget.
