Abstract

This article investigates to what extent Turkish humanitarian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are able to alleviate human suffering as the ultimate goal of medical humanitarianism. To answer this question, the study investigates the efficiency of Turkish humanitarian NGOs in general with a specific focus on Uganda. It explores how their aid surfaces on the ground, to what extent it is aligned with country needs and priorities, the extent to which these initiatives help to strengthen or improve existing health systems, Turkish NGOs’ criteria for aid, and the challenges they face. Turkish NGOs’ distribution of medical aid is aligned with country needs and priorities, and their initiatives help strengthen and improve existing health systems. However, their sustainability is threatened by challenges of overreliance on voluntarism and lack of sufficient expertise, capacity, and funding.

土耳其NGOS的医学人道主义

本文调查了土耳其人道主义非政府组织(ngo)在多大程度上能够减轻人类痛苦作为医疗人道主义的最终目标。为了回答这个问题，该研究调查了土耳其人道主义非政府组织的总体效率，并特别关注乌干达。它探讨了他们的援助是如何在实地出现的，它在多大程度上符合国家的需求和优先事项，这些举措在多大程度上有助于加强或改善现有的卫生系统，土耳其非政府组织的援助标准，以及他们面临的挑战。土耳其非政府组织的医疗援助分配与国家需求和优先事项保持一致，他们的举措有助于加强和改善现有的卫生系统。然而，它们的可持续性受到过度依赖自愿主义和缺乏足够的专业知识、能力和资金的挑战的威胁。
