Military Service and Neurology

Abstract

Determination of the health qualifications of personnel, students, and their candidates, who are members of the Turkish Armed Forces, the General Command of Gendarmerie and the Coast Guard Command has been transferred to Ministry of Health hospitals. One hundred sixty-two hospitals affiliated to the Ministry of Health were authorized to report in this context. The magnitude of this uncertain patient volume, and most importantly, the lack of awareness of the legislation has made the job particularly challenging for neurology specialists. In order to minimize the problems faced by our colleagues after the transfer of military health services and health board processes to the Ministry of Health, which has been performed for about a century in the military system, the most common features of neurologic diseases are presented with report samples.
