A new regulation published in the Resmi Gazete allows Turkish hospitals to obtain patient consent for medical procedures via SMS or e-Nabız, an electronic health record system. The Ministry of Health implemented this change to streamline the consent process, aiming to enhance efficiency and patient engagement. This digital approach is expected to affect millions of patients across the country, making consent procedures more accessible.
