The financial impact of reducing the purchase of foreign origin products was analyzed, and recommendations were made. For this purpose, data from the Ministry of Health's decision support systems were collected by selecting specific indicators from data banks. The data of public procurement vouchers belonging to the Ministry of Health in the province of İstanbul in 2017, were used in this research.

Besides, a significant portion of the procurement was made with direct procurement. It was also determined that most of the purchased products were of foreign origin.In this study, public procurement in the Turkish health sector was examined in terms of procurement method and product origin, taking into consideration the public procurement legislation.
