Istanbul, 19 December 2022 – DoktorClub Awards, organized by DoktorClub, Türkiye's largest digital physician platform, presented its awards for the sixth time in 2022. At the ceremony held on 18 December 2022 at İstanbul Üniversitesi Fen Fakültesi (Istanbul University Faculty of Science), physicians, institutions and projects that contribute to scientific output, innovation and society in healthcare were honored.
What sets DoktorClub Awards apart from other industry awards is its method: applications are first evaluated by an independent jury, and the shortlisted candidates are then put to a vote by the verified physician members of the DoktorClub platform. In this way, the awards are given through the eyes of physicians, the very people the services are meant for.
“When we launched DoktorClub Awards, we asked a single question: If physicians themselves voted, who would they say truly contributes to health in Türkiye? For six years, our physicians have been answering that question. Each of this year's winners is behind work that has been noticed in the field and appreciated by colleagues.”

“Bringing the different stakeholders of the healthcare sector together in the same hall, against the same criteria, is very valuable to us. Everyone, from pharmaceutical companies to associations and from academics to young physicians, goes through the same jury process and the same physician vote. This transparency is what defines the value of the award.”
