The union brought to the table the problems experienced by all professionals working in the field of health and social services, from physicians to nurses, paramedics to social workers, and their solution proposals. The demands included critical items such as improving wages, additional payments, protecting personal rights, improving working conditions and preventing violence against health workers.

After the meeting, President Mahmut Faruk Doğan made statements about the negotiations and said that Sağlık-Sen has brought the real demands from the field to the table. "We are struggling to solve the important problems of physicians, nurses, midwives, paramedics, anesthesia technicians, social workers and all health and social service professionals at this table," Doğan said. Emphasizing that this struggle concerns not only the rights of employees but also the future of the health system, Doğan said, "Every item that we will turn into gains here is also important for the future of the health system. We are struggling with this awareness."
It was stated that mutual evaluations were made on the proposals between the parties at the meeting and that the negotiations will continue in the coming period.
