The use of optical fibre connections provided by local telecommunication operator caused some problems with the internal transmission of data due to technical failures resulting from the saturation of the network and frequent network outages, and has affected the coverage of different locations.

This good practice is about ensuring effective, efficient and high-quality IT that provides the required continuity, accessibility and efficiency in the services provided to internal and external users.

The integration of student certificates to the Health Benefits Rights Programme (SPAS) involves the electronic flow of data between the Turkish Social Security Institution (SSI) and both the Higher Education Institution (YÖK) and the National Education Ministry (MEB) on up-to-date student certificates.

Provision 18 of the Social Insurance and Universal Health Insurance Law (Code Number 5510) states that temporary incapacity allowances may be paid by employers by deducting the amount from their premium (contribution) payments.
