One of the important areas of primary healthcare services under compulsory health insurance is protecting children’s health and preventing diseases.

In accordance with the approved examination schedule, children undergo mandatory medical check-ups. When necessary, they are referred to the relevant medical specialist for additional examination and treatment, and immunization measures are carried out in accordance with the National Vaccination Calendar.

Advice is provided on healthy nutrition for children and adolescents, newborn care and breastfeeding, while health education activities aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles are conducted among the population.

In addition, regular examinations of children’s oral health are conducted, and they are taught oral care and sanitary and hygienic practices.

When necessary, samples are taken for blood, urine and other tests and referred for laboratory examinations.

Alongside developing healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition habits from an early age to protect children’s health, timely preventive medical examinations are also of great importance.

Primary healthcare services provided under compulsory health insurance provide important support in this area.
