Health and malpractice
Article 72 of the Turkish Code of Obligations
Article 72 of the Turkish Code of Obligations is the rule that, for a tort claim, ties the period to the date the injured person learns of the harm and of the person liable. The length is in the official text. This page writes no year or day and does not calculate the period.
The date of knowledge is not the epicrisis day in every file. The day a report arrived, the day the harm was understood, and the day the liable person was known can be discussed apart. The date is not typed into this form.
A full-remedy claim against a public hospital is not an automatic copy of this article. The period of an administrative route is read from its own statute. This guide does not write that period either. The public-hospital article explains the frame of the route.
On the check of 13 November 2026, the official heading of article 72 was seen to speak of the date of knowledge. The number of years was not brought here. The malpractice limitation article stands for the file. The two are not the same timetable.
This page does not replace the official text.
