For recent years, healthcare services in Turkey are somewhat delegated to private sector through Public Private Partnership (PPP) model that project finance plays a critical role. In this model, investment is realized by private sector and risks are shared among related parties.

Nevertheless, banking sector in Turkey has limited capacity to raise long term capital considering the funds utilized for these projects.
