Turkey's President Erdogan Reshuffles Cabinet Ministers

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey made changes to his cabinet, replacing Health Minister Fahrettin Koca and Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change Minister Mehmet Ozhaseki. The resignations and appointments were officially confirmed in the Official Gazette, with Murat Kurum taking over Ozhaseki's position and Prof. Dr. Kemal Memisoglu succeeding Fahrettin Koca. These changes come after Erdogan's party faced setbacks in the March 31 local elections, marking the first cabinet-level change since then. The reshuffle was prompted by Ozhaseki's resignation due to health issues and increasing criticisms in Turkey's health sectors regarding long wait times for appointments at public hospitals.
