Health diplomacy facilitates the implementation and governance of global health policies. Assistance
including the transfer of expertise, experience and human and medical equipment to different countries,
is at the core of health diplomacy. The main objective of this study is to highlight Türkiye’s efforts in
providing official development assistance abroad, establishing and operating health enterprises, and
providing medical rescue and emergency health services in disasters and emergencies. For this reason,
the study seeks to reveal the perception of health diplomacy in Türkiye, how the health service process
is carried out abroad, and the possible contribution of these services. To his end, a case study design
was used to examine Türkiye’s health diplomacy process. In this context, interviews were conducted
with civil servants (n=1) and non-governmental organization personnel (n=8). The research findings
were evaluated within the framework of four main themes: perception of health diplomacy, difficulties
experienced in the health diplomacy process, solutions to the difficulties encountered in the health
diplomacy process, and contributions of health diplomacy. The perception of health diplomacy includes
subjects like fieldwork, experience transfer, support, joint action, foreign policy, soft power, and health
priority. In the process of health service delivery, the study argues that there are difficulties in terms
of medical equipment, service delivery, personnel and political problems, and these difficulties could
only be solved through cooperation, and communication between various actors. The main conclusion
is that health diplomacy contributes to the quality of health services in the recipient country and/or
region and also supports employment opportunities in the recipient country and/or region with newly
opened health institutions. In addition, the study argues that Turkish health personnel gain experience,
while their activities cause sympathy for and alleviate the prejudices about Türkiye abroad.
