The purpose of this program is to increase the quality and efficiency of the healthcare system and enhance access to healthcare facilities with the introduction of a number of reforms. With an estimated population of 76 million residents and an annual growth rate of 1.8%, the Turkish healthcare sector caters to a rapidly growing population, and the concurrent increasing demand on the healthcare sector. According to the Turkstat data, 49.3% of the Turkish population is below the age of 30. The largest quintile age group within the Turkish population lies between the ages of 30 to 34 years, accounting for 8.5% of the total population. Males represent a higher share across the younger age groups, yet females dominate the older age groups, starting from the year age group, which evidently indicates a higher life expectancy. Approximately 44% of the population in Turkey is centralised in 8 provinces. The most populated province is Istanbul with 18.3% of the population. The Healthcare sector in Turkey is primarily managed by the Government through the Ministry of Health (MoH), universities and other semi-public organisations. Nevertheless, the government has been encouraging the private sector to invest in the healthcare sector and gain a wider role, which consequently resulted in the number of private hospitals reaching 503 in 2011, compared to 271 private hospitals in The number of beds per 1,000 population has been consistently increasing over the past decade, reaching 2.54 in Between the period of , the number of doctors (including dentists) has reached 147,128 achieving a CAGR of 3.5%. During the same period the number of nurses has reached 124,982, achieving a CAGR of 5.5%.

Box Dubai UAE Main: Mobile (UAE): Kerim Cin Managing Partner Turkey kerim.cin@colliers.com Main: Fax: The overall supply of healthcare facilities struggles to keep pace with the burgeoning population, a situation recognised by the Government who have recently introduced initiatives to encourage the private sector to match the shortfall and benefit from this potentially lucrative sector. The Turkish health insurance industry sector underwent a consolidation process during the period, in order to merge the existing providers under one centralised umbrella, Sosyal Sigortalar Kurumu ( SSK or Social Insurance Organisation), and provide efficient coverage for all citizens. Total expenditure on healthcare (public and private) in Turkey remained slightly under 6% of GDP between 2004 and In 2010, the ratio has increased slightly to 6.3% according to the Ministry of Health. Colliers International Healthcare Overview provides a brief snapshot of the key factors impacting the Turkish Healthcare sector and its future outlook. 2 Colliers Internationall Accelerating Success

The Turkish government increased its efforts following the global financial crisis to attract private investors into the services and infrastructure sectors through establishing initiatives and incentive programmes that support their PPP policies. Accordingly, the government provided various tax and non-tax incentives to foreign investors, in line with those provided to domestic companies. These include customs and VAT exemptions on various imported or locally delivered goods, including machinery and equipment, as well as priority regions offering incentives such as free land and energy support. Investors are also able to benefit from R&D support and market research with the aim of encouraging exports and increasing the competitiveness of Turkish firms in international markets. Following the global financial crisis, the Turkish economy recovered from a 4.8% contraction in 2009 to achieve positive growth in subsequent years due to the aforementioned stimulating policies and procedures. The Turkish economy achieved GDP growth of 2.2% in 2012, surpassing developed economies such as Japan, Brazil, UK and even the EU average.

Since 2002 the GDP per capita in Turkey has tripled from USD3,492 to USD10,504 in The inflation rate was 7.4% in 2013, According to the Ministry of Economy in Turkey, declining from 10.6% at the end of The debt-to-gdp ratio in Turkey is one of the healthiest in the world, currently standing at a sustainable 36.1%, compared to higher ratios exhibited by several developed economies such as Germany, England and France. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.8% in 2013, compared to 10.1% at the end of 2012, in accordance with positive economic performance. 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% 0.0% -2.0% -4.0% Source: IMF, Ministry of Economy, Colliers International 2013 According to the World Bank, Turkey has the fifth largest qualified labour force amongst the EU countries, after Russia, Germany, England and France. In recent years, the Turkish banking sector has taken an increasingly large role in brokering major project finance deals, benefiting in many cases from its increasingly liquid balance sheets. Nevertheless, in spite of the declining interest rates to record low levels, the Turkish central bank interest rate is still high in comparison to most European countries as the Central Bank holds off matching monetary-policy tightening, prevalent in other developing countries. In conclusion, following a temporary economic slowdown in 2009, the Turkish economy started recovering from 2010, and is expected to grow by a CAGR of 7.9% (real GDP) during the period. Impact on Healthcare: The overall positive performance of the Turkish economy ultimately fares positively on its healthcare industry. Anticipated increase in GDP growth rates supported by the government s efforts to establish a transparent market, will assist in strengthening the market fundamentals and encourage private sector investment from both; the local market and increased FDI in the coming years.

Demographic Overview of Turkey 2.1 DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS Turkey is one of the highest growing populations in Europe. According to Turkstat, the Turkish population will stand at 76.6 million by the end of 2013, achieving an overall growth of 1.4%. Turkey s population growth rate currently ranks third across Europe, following Ireland and Cyprus, as opposed to various developed countries that are shrinking such as Germany, Russia and an EU average of 0.16%. Males in Turkey constitute 50.2% of the total population, the majority of which belong to the year age group, a category between Generation X ( ) and Generation Y ( ). The population below the age of 34 years accounts for 58.9% of the total population in Turkey (Refer to Exhibit 6). Turkey is currently witnessing massive urbanisation, accompanied by the current demographic breakdown and the imminent generational shift over the upcoming decades is set to further increase the presence of lifestyle diseases within the Turkish society. The rapidly growing young population is one of the key factors driving demand for the real estate and healthcare sectors along with the dynamics of the average household size. Exhibit 6: Age - Gender Distribution of Turkey s Population ,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 Thousands 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 The Rise of Generation X, Y & Z and the resultant Impact on Healthcare Demand Lifestyle diseases (also sometimes called diseases of longevity or diseases of civilization interchangeably) are diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialised and people live longer. They can include Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, asthma, some kinds of cancer, chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, chronic renal failure, osteoporosis, stroke, depression and obesity. Source: Turkstat, Colliers International 2013 Male Consequently, as the profile of the Turkish population shifts from baby boomers towards a dominant younger demographic, the need for healthcare services both in terms of disease patterns and type of healthcare services, is expected to radically transform (Refer to Exhibit 7). Exhibit 7: Demographic Structure of Turkey Female Some analysts maintain a distinction between diseases of longevity and diseases of civilization. Certain diseases, such as diabetes, dental care, and asthma appear at greater rates in young populations living in accordance with the Western Lifestyle ; as their increased exposure is not related to age, so the terms cannot accurately be used interchangeably for all diseases.

These hospitals provide basic healthcare services, as well as specialised facility centres. Other Governmental Organisations: Health treatment in other government and quasi organisations is effectively free for (government) employees, typical organisations would include The National Guard, Ministries of Defence and Aviation and the Royal Commission. 34.6% 57.8% Private Sector: Private hospitals account for the second largest share in the Turkish Healthcare market, with 503 hospitals in 2013 experiencing consistent growth since 2002, with governmental support. 4.5% Other: This sector includes hospitals owned by the Ministry of Defence, municipalities and other public institutions. Total number of hospitals within this category has been experiencing a drop since 2002, with 45 hospitals in 2013 compared to 61 hospitals in A family practitioner service has been in place since early 2005 aiming at the avoidance of unnecessary hospital visits and the improvement of primary care, especially in rural areas. Under the scheme, a family general practitioner (GP) will function as a gatekeeper to the healthcare system. However, due to lack of sufficient trained GP s, the full implementation of the system is expected to take longer. 3.2 BUDGET ALLOCATION Total expenditure on healthcare remained slightly under 6% of GDP between the period of 2001 and The ratio increased slightly starting from 2007 reaching 6%, above some other developing countries at the time such as China (4.7%), India (5%) and Russia (5.3%). In 2009, following the global economic crisis, the allocated budget decreased as a nominal sum yet the government resorted to increasing the healthcare share out of its GDP to 6.7%. The healthcare expenditure as a share of GDP remained constant throughout the subsequent years, whilst the economy was swiftly recovering, which resulted in an allocated budget of USD 52 billion in 2011, compared to USD31.4 billion in The GDP share for healthcare currently remains steady at 6.7%, supported by increasing governmental revenues. Turkey s healthcare spending as a percentage of the GDP of 6.7% is one of the lowest when compared to some of the developed neighbouring countries, yet the budget share significantly exceeds GCC allocations.

6 Number of Beds OVERVIEW REPORT TURKEY HEALTHCARE FIRST QUARTER KEY HEALTHCARE INDICATORS Comparing the healthcare indicators of Turkey to other developed countries such as the US, UK and Germany, demonstrates there is a shortage of doctors, nurses and beds in Turkey. (Refer to Exhibit 11). Despite increasing numbers of physicians in recent years, Turkey currently holds the second lowest number of physicians per capita among all OECD countries. Respectively, there is also a significant shortage of nurses in Turkey, with 1.7 nurses per 1,000 population, significantly below the average across neighbouring countries. In order to address the shortage in hospital beds, the government has increased its effort to attract private investors. The number of beds per 1,000 population currently stands at 2.5 beds, which lags behind various European markets; such as France (6.6 beds) and Germany (8.3 beds).

8 Insurance Policies (Millions) Growth (%) 0.8 OVERVIEW REPORT TURKEY HEALTHCARE FIRST QUARTER 2014 Social Security Institution (SGK) In 2006, the three main social security systems, namely SSK, BagKur and Emekli Sandigi, were combined under one single entity, the Social Security Institution. The population insured under the Green Card health scheme is also covered by the new social security institution, ensuring all citizens are supported. The Universal Health Fund was also established to create a central payments agency, efficient and effective in its operation. This new system is a part of Turkey s ongoing healthcare reforms and aims to resolve the various outstanding hindrances that have plagued the Turkish healthcare system over the past decades. 4. Overview of Health Insurance in Turkey 4.1 MARKET OVERVIEW In 2007, legal measures mandated that all citizens of Turkey would have access to free primary care, even if they are not covered under the social security system. With the legislative changes unifying the three different social security and health insurance schemes (SSK, Bag-Kur and Emekli-Sandigi) into one unified social security institute, the Social Security Institute of Turkey (SSI) was established in The SSI was accompanied by a law and the establishment of the Universal Health Insurance Fund (UHI Fund). Concurrently, a claims and utilization management system called MEDULA has been established to process claims for all the health insurance funds including the Green Card system.

Ownership of SSK hospitals were transferred over to MoH. BagKur members have started to benefit from the services of private hospitals without direct referrals ; Three public insurance systems (GEPF, BagKur and SSK) were consolidated under one umbrella SSI. In June 2008, the government decided to put a 30% limit on the surcharge by private institutions. Private hospital license approvals were frozen. SSI introduced a copayment scheme in order to eliminate artificial demand frauds. 4.2 PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE GROWTH ; Therapeutic area based contracts with private hospitals were allowed by SSI. The government has allowed semi top-up insurance through some changes in the regulations enabling private hospitals to apply a higher maximum surcharge ratio of 90%. SSI amends the service agreements signed with the healthcare providers, with new clauses invoke tighter regulation in order to prevent breaching the maximum limits of surcharge. Recent regulatory amendments in 2010 facilitated the rapid expansion of the private health insurance system in Turkey, with the introduction of the semi topup insurance which allowed private hospitals to apply a higher surcharge ratio. During the period, the private health insurance market experienced rapid growth with a CAGR 14.1%, reaching 2.2 million private insurance policies in Group policies represented 60% of the total issued policies in 2002, as opposed to 36.3% in The change in market composition is attributable to the exponential development of the individual policies market, which grew at a CAGR of 14.1%, reaching 1.4 million private insurance policies and controlling 63.7% of the private healthcare demand in It is expected that the industry will continue to grow over the upcoming period with market fundamentals already set in place, along with the governments initiative to further improve healthcare coverage for the Turkish population. 8 Colliers Internationall Accelerating Success

The following risks have been identified in completed transactions: i. Programme coverage seems to be one of the issues facing the sector, with bidders doubtful of progress of PPP transactions outside the main cities of Ankara and Istanbul. Exhibit 21: Healthcare Transaction Value in Turkey vs. Central and Eastern Europe Czech Republic Romania ii. Despite concessions being set at 25 years, yet refinancing in Turkey currently poses as a risk with the current maximum loan tenor at 12 years. Russia Poland iii. Failing to match the size, complexities and compatibility of PPP transactions with bidders for tendered projects, increases the risk of completion and consequently the approvals of project financing. Hungary 1,857 iv. The Turkish Lira represents significant currency risk with the majority of the infrastructure debts set in USD in a high inflation region; even local bankers have expressed some concern, bringing into the spotlight the long term risk of active PPP projects.

10 OVERVIEW REPORT TURKEY HEALTHCARE FIRST QUARTER 2014 KEY STATISTICS Colliers International Healthcare Insights (CIHI) The Turkish healthcare market remains sternly fragmented, yet it is foreseeable that the consolidation of the market is set to become the way forward during the upcoming period with the larger chains seeking to further benefit from the economies of scale and enhanced efficiency that occurs as a result of a wider geographical coverage and increased brand value. Population 76 million in % annual population growth rate 60% of the total population under 34 years age group US$ 1,160 per capita healthcare expenditure in 2011 US$ 51 billion, total healthcare expenditure in % healthcare expenditure as a % of GDP Healthcare Providers: o The Ministry of Health is currently the main healthcare provider in Turkey with 57.8% of the hospitals under their management. o Private sector hospitals have been consistently growing over the past decade, becoming the second largest market shareholder, with the support of the growth in private medical insurance and increasing FDI into Healthcare. o In the last 20 years the region has experienced gradual decrease in mortality and an increase in the fertility rates which are expected to gradually change the demographic structure of the region over the next 20 years. Population Growth: o Turkey is one of the highest growing populations in Europe; according to Turkstat, the Turkish population will stand at 76.6 million by the end of 2013, achieving an overall growth of 1.4%, ranking third after only Ireland and Cyprus. o In the next two decades, as the current young population of Turkey ages, there is likely to be a sharp rise in healthcare demand as almost 80% of a person s healthcare requirements typically occurs after the age of years. Lifestyle Related Diseases: o There is a considerable increase in lifestyle related diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, heart (cardiovascular) and kidney (dialysis). o Presently, the private sector plays an important role in providing care for these diseases, however, the government needs to take an active role in prevention through educating people and offering preventive services. Healthcare Expenditure: o Turkey s healthcare spending as a percentage of the GDP of 6.7% is one of the lowest in the region when compared to some of the developed neighbouring countries. o In addition, Turkey has one of the lowest rates healthcare spending per capita, lagging behind neighbouring healthcare markets, which is one of the challenges that need to be addressed. Shortage of Hospital Beds: o The number of beds per 1,000 population currently stands at 2.5 beds, which lags behind various EU countries; such as France (6.6 beds) and Germany (8.3 beds). o Overall, the supply of healthcare facilities struggles to keep pace with the burgeoning population, a situation recognised by the government who have recently introduced initiatives to encourage the private sector to match the shortfall and benefit from this potentially lucrative sector. o The present shortage of beds which is growing with time, can be overcome by funding from the private sector to establish new hospitals both in the Public and private sectors, as well as, improving and expanding existing facilities through PPP initiatives, subject to mitigating the existing risks. Quality of Service: o A rising number of private hospitals are actively seeking accreditation from international organizations such as JCI, to increase their competitive value. 10 Colliers Internationall Accelerating Success

11 Negative Factors OVERVIEW REPORT TURKEY HEALTHCARE FIRST QUARTER 2014 Other Shortages in the Healthcare Sector: o The most significant cost for healthcare providers is qualified medical staff. o Despite the consistent growth in numbers of physicians, nurses and beds over the past decade, the Turkish healthcare market remains significantly lagging when compared to neighboring healthcare markets. o Additionally, the proposed bill to limit physicians to working in only one single sector is destined to increase the load on the existing situation. o It is noteworthy that the annual Number of Medical School Graduate in Turkey is around 4,500 compared to an EU average of 14,000 graduates. Regulatory Environment: o Recent regulatory amendments facilitated the rapid expansion of the private health insurance system in Turkey. It is expected that the industry will continue to grow over the upcoming period with market fundamentals already set in place, along with the governmental will to further improve healthcare coverage for the Turkish population. What Next: o The healthcare sector in Turkey is going through a swift change and most of the governments in the region are encouraging private sector investment in this sector, either direct investment or through Public Private Partnership (PPP). o There has been a significant number of healthcare transactions over the past five years, proving the increased appetite from local and regional PE funds to invest in such resilient sectors. o All these factors provides an opportunity for private healthcare operators and service providers to enter into a market which offers unlimited potential for growth. o In order to fund growth, healthcare operators are likely to evaluate untrapping wealth from existing assets such as its real estate component and its fast depreciating healthcare equipment. o The sale and leaseback vehicle is a relatively straightforward transaction that requires appropriate valuations for both developer and operator to succeed. High expectations and unsustainable valuations remain the key deal breakers. o The need for healthcare operators to focus on distinguishing and unique selling points is apparent within a highly competitive and sensitive market. Careful planning is required to ensure appropriate strategies are employed for successful entrance into the highly complex healthcare market in Turkey. Exhibit 22: Challenges and Opportunities in the Turkish Healthcare Sector Positive Factors Positive population CAGR of 1.4% which exceeds the majority of EU nations, yet lags behind GCC economies. Introduction of centralised health insurance, ensuring wider and efficient coverage Low numbers of existing beds per 1,000 compared to neighbouring markets, presenting an opportunity for further growth The presence of a Privatisation & Public Private Partnership (PPP) program Government s commitment to healthcare industry improvements Budget constraints on Healthcare spending Low per capita spending on healthcare, compared to several neighbouring economies. Limited presence of trained and qualified physicians and nurses.
