The "Approved Appointment" period in the Centralized Doctor Appointment System (CDAS), known as the "Merkezi Hekim Randevu Sistemi" (MHRS) in Turkish, began on Monday, May 13.
Patients can schedule appointments mainly through health institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Health, the MHRS website, mobile application, or the "ALO 182" call center.
With the new system, patients must confirm their appointments or notify the system of their inability to attend by 8 p.m. the day before the appointment. The confirmation process will also be conducted through the appointment channels.
Appointments that are not confirmed or canceled will be automatically canceled at 8 p.m. the day before. In this case, individuals can reschedule their appointments without any restrictions.
Individuals who confirm their appointments but fail to attend will be restricted from scheduling a new appointment in the same specialty for 15 days. However, they can still receive unscheduled services from health care institutions affiliated with the ministry.
Patients aged 65 and over, as well as cancer patients, are exempt from this system and can schedule appointments at any time.
Starting today, the Approved Appointment System aims to allow patients, hospitals, and physicians to utilize their time more efficiently. After cancellations, the vacant slots will be allocated to patients who have made requests and cannot schedule appointments through the system, prioritizing those with pending requests.
