The e-Nabız system, developed by the Ministry of Health and used by nearly five million people, raised questions about how to use it, how to sign in for the first time, and how to obtain a password. e-Nabız is an application that consolidates exam results, treatments and tests performed anywhere in the country and allows users to manage all health information recorded under their name. In short, the system collects medical records from different locations across Turkey and provides a single access point. Thanks to e-Nabız, it is now possible to record complete medical histories and securely store test results and related documents.
Launched around three years ago, the platform quickly grew to 5.2 million users. Because it provides access to all kinds of health records, it has made many aspects of healthcare more convenient, which in turn increased adoption. First introduced in 2015, e-Nabız is available 24/7. Its practical and fast operation has led to more than 25 million sessions and over 75 million page views since launch.
What Does the e-Nabız System Do?
When someone visits a hospital for any reason, images and laboratory tests are performed to diagnose the condition. If the person seeks a second opinion from another doctor, those same tests may be repeated. This is where e-Nabız becomes useful. After registering with e-Nabız, users can personally control and manage all their health records. Having centralized access to treatment history, lab results and imaging helps speed up consultations with doctors and reduces the need to repeat tests. The system also makes it easy to continually review past treatments.
e-Nabız Users and Registration
Of the more than 5.2 million active e-Nabız users, approximately 54% are male and 46% are female. The system, implemented by the Ministry of Health, shows that about 60% of users are between 18 and 34 years old. This age group, accustomed to computers and digital services, can access records from both public and private healthcare institutions via the app. Data is sent in real time; users can access their records, and with permission, healthcare personnel can also view them. As a step toward faster healthcare processes, the system is expected to reach many more users in a short time.
How to Sign In to e-Nabız for the First Time via e-Devlet
There are two main ways to perform the first e-Nabız sign-in. The first is through the e-Devlet (e-Government) portal. Using an e-Devlet password along with an e-signature or mobile signature, users can log in to the e-Devlet portal and access e-Nabız. The e-Devlet password can be purchased at the nearest PTT office for a small fee; after entering the T.C. identification number and the e-Devlet password, users are directed to a screen to create and update their profile. On that page, the user must acknowledge the e-Nabız terms of use by marking the corresponding checkbox.
In the next step of updating the profile, users enter information such as country of residence, city, weight and height. After providing these details, a “Sharing Options” section appears where users select who can access their personal health data. The final profile step is “Access Information,” where the user enters a mobile phone number and chooses a password for future logins. After this, a one-time access code sent to the phone completes the sign-in process.
How to Sign In to e-Nabız for the First Time via Family Physician
For those who prefer not to use the e-Devlet portal, the second option is to obtain a password from the family physician registered with the Ministry of Health. The user visits their family physician and fills out an authorization form. A temporary e-Nabız password is then sent by SMS to the phone number on the form. After signing in with the temporary password, the user can set a personal password. Mobile apps for phones and tablets make accessing the system even easier and faster.
What Can You Do in the e-Nabız System?
Once you complete your first e-Nabız sign-in, you can use the system to add personal health data, make and track appointments, and manage sharing of personal information.
In the “Add Information” section you can record values for blood sugar, blood pressure, pulse and weight. Existing entries are visible when you select each category, and you can add new measurements using the “Add” option. Using mobile apps from GSM operators and connected health devices, data such as steps, pulse, calories, blood pressure, blood sugar, respiratory rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation and weight can be automatically recorded in the system. These measurements can be reviewed in statistics and shared with a chosen physician.
In the “Appointments” section, scheduled visits are displayed on a calendar by month, week, and day. Clicking an appointment reveals details. By using the “Make Appointment” button, you can schedule a new appointment without entering the MHRS separately. This central calendar allows you to view all your healthcare appointments in one place.
In the “Share Personal Information” section, users can grant access to their health data by entering another person’s T.C. identification number and phone number, allowing that person to view the records as permitted.
