This study compared service profiles of Turkish primary care doctors using data from 1993 European GP Task Profile and 2012 QUALICOPC studies. This study looks at indicators such as coordination, comprehensiveness, access and continuity of the process dimension defined by PHAMEU framework. The breadth of the service profile of Turkish doctors has expanded in terms of involvement in treatment of chronic diseases and first contact care. The negative performance criteria as applied in Turkish primary care may have created discrepancies in favour of tasks targeted by these criteria. For the future, room for improvement remains in the integration of health services and the number of FDs with postgraduate vocational training.
