In this context; Stating that our citizens who do not cancel the appointment that they cannot attend will not be able to make an appointment in the same branch within 15 days in the first case of the situation in question, Minister Koca stated that if they do not come to the appointment for the second time, they will not be able to make an appointment in all branches within 15 days and said, "In order to avoid idle capacity due to last minute cancellations, we set the appointment cancellation period to the maximum." We limit late hours to 23.59 the day before. Instead of canceled appointments, we will be able to make new appointments up to 1 hour before the examination time. "In this way, we will ensure that more patients make appointments and the capacity is used efficiently," he said.
