ÖZET
 Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] olarak da bilinen yeni tip koronavirüs (CoV) hastalığı, ilk olarak Aralık 2019'da Çin'in Wuhan kentinde ortaya çıktı ve kısa sürede küresel bir salgına (pandemiye) dönüştü. Dünya Sağlık Örgütünün COVID-19'u pandemi ilan etmesiyle devletler gerekli önlemleri almaya, salgının yayılma hızını düşürmeye ve salgına yakalananların tedavisine yönelik uygulamalara başladı. Tüm ülkelerde, salgınla mücadelede hekimler en ön saflarda yer almaktadır. İç hastalıkları, göğüs hastalıkları ve enfeksiyon hastalıkları uzmanlarının yanı sıra diğer hekimler de uzmanlık alanlarına bakılmaksızın pandemi ile mücadelede görevlendirildi. Enfekte ve şüpheli enfekte kişilerle doğrudan temas hâlinde olan hekimler de dâhil yüzlerce sağlık çalışanı CoV enfeksiyonuna yakalandı. Ülkemizde Mart 2020 tarihinden itibaren 5 ay süresince CoV nedeniyle hayatını kaybettiği açıklanan hekim sayısı 55 olup diğer sağlık çalışanlarının eklenmesi ile bu sayı yaklaşık 3 katına çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle tüm sağlık çalışanları, hem COVID-19 bulaşı (morbidite) hem de ölüm (mortalite) açısından yüksek riskli meslek grubudur. COVID-19 salgınıyla mücadelede, sağlık çalışanlarının sağlığının korunması önceliği oluşturmalı ve sağlık kurumları gerekli koruyucu önlemleri almalıdır. Ayrıca COVID-19 enfeksiyonuna bağlı hastalanmaları veya ölmeleri durumunda sosyal güvenlik hakları korunmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, salgın döneminde hekimlerin durumu değerlendirilerek, uzmanlık alanları farklı olan hekimlerin pandemi mücadelesinde görevlendirilmelerinin malpraktis sigortasına etkisi, hekimlerin sağlığının ve sosyal güvenlik haklarının korunup korunmadığı araştırılmıştır. Çalışmamız pandemi (salgın) ile mücadele eden hekimlere yönelik olarak sunulan görüşler açısından önemli ve bu alanda öncül bir araştırmadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: COVID-19 pandemisi; sağlık çalışanı; meslek hastalığı; malpraktis; sosyal güvenlik sigortası
ABSTRACT
 The new type of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID19) first appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019; turned into a global epidemic in a short time. Following the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 pandemic, states began to take the necessary measures for reducing the rate of spread of the epidemic, and to treat those infected. Physicians are at the forefront in combating the epidemic in all countries. Beside internal medicine, chest diseases and infectious diseases specialists, other physicians have assigned to combat the pandemic, regardless of their specialty. Hundreds of healthcare personnel, including physicians who are in direct contact with suspectious infected and infected persons, have contracted coronavirus infection. In our country, the number of physicians declared to have died due to coronavirus during 5 months since March 2020 is 55; this number increases approximately 3 times with the addition of other healthcare professionals. All healthcare personnel are high-risk occupational groups for both COVID-19 transmission (morbidity) and mortality. In the fight against the COVID-19, the protection of healthcare personnel should be a priority and health institutions must take necessary protective measures. Social security rights must be protected in case of they become ill or die due to COVID-19. In this study, considering the situation of the physicians in the pandemic, the effect of the assignment of physicians with different specialities to the fight against pandemics on malpractice insurance, and whether the health and social security rights of physicians are protected was investigated. Our study is an important and pioneering research in terms of the opinions presented on these issues.
