SASDER(Sağlık ve Sigorta Yöneticileri Derneği)

What SASDER(Sağlık ve Sigorta Yöneticileri Derneği) does

SASDER (Sağlık ve Sigorta Yöneticileri Derneği / Health and Insurance Managers Association) is a Turkish non-profit professional association founded in 2012 and headquartered in Istanbul, operating as a civil society organization (dernek) governed by a 9-member Board of Directors elected from its membership base. The association serves mid- to senior-level managers working in public and private healthcare institutions, insurance companies, and university faculty specializing in health management and policy, providing a structured forum that bridges the healthcare-provider and insurance-payer sides of Turkey's health ecosystem.

The association's core products are its annual National Congress (13 editions planned, with the 13th scheduled for November 2026 in Antalya), the E-Sertifika digital certificate platform (delivered via Arcadias Tech), the SASDER Start-Up Arena startup competition launched in 2025, and the 'Sektör Konuşuyor' regional sector-discussion meeting series. There is no proprietary technology stack; SASDER's value is delivered through event programming, in-person convening, and lightweight digital credentialing rather than software products. Event logistics and payment processing for congresses are outsourced to Rubikon Turizm Organizasyon under a sustained multi-year operational partnership.

SASDER generates revenue through three streams: recurring annual membership dues and entrance fees, one-time congress and event fees (member and non-member tiers priced 750-2,900 EUR at the 13th Congress), and fees from educational activities such as seminars and panels. Operations are supported by a small staff of 14 employees, with no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or ownership by venture or private equity capital. Geographic scope is single-country, domestic Turkey.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Sağlık Bilişim ve Teknolojileri Derneği (SBTT): Turkish health informatics and technology association. Comparable as a domestic health-sector membership body, focused on digital health — adjacent to SASDER's Start-Up Arena and insurtech/healthtech engagement.

Regional players

• Türk Tabipleri Birliği (TTB): National medical association of Turkey representing physicians. Broader in scope and physician-focused, but operates as a professional association in the same domestic healthcare ecosystem, convening sector stakeholders and influencing health policy.
• Sağlık-Sen: One of Turkey's largest healthcare sector trade unions. Comparable as a domestic health-sector membership organisation, but union-focused rather than executive-manager focused, representing an adjacent but distinct constituency.

Direct peers

• Özel Hastaneler ve Sağlık Kuruluşları Derneği (OHSAD): Turkey's primary private hospital and health institutions association. Directly comparable as a domestic healthcare sector membership organisation that organises congresses and represents provider-side executives — a sister association that SASDER's provider-side members would also engage with.
• Türkiye Sigorta Birliği: Official umbrella body of insurance companies operating in Turkey. Directly comparable as the leading insurance industry association that convenes insurer executives — overlapping with SASDER's payer-side membership base and competing for insurer attention and sponsorship.

Broad incumbents

• HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society): Global healthcare IT and management organisation with major annual conferences and chapter networks. Comparable as a large-scale health-sector convening body that monetises membership, events, and certifications — a benchmark for what SASDER could scale into regionally.
• American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE): US-based professional association for healthcare executives offering membership, credentials, congresses, and continuing education. A mature global benchmark for the membership-services model SASDER operates in Turkey.
• European Health Management Association (EHMA): European-level health management association. Comparable as a membership organisation convening healthcare managers across countries, with annual conferences and policy focus — a broader, international counterpart to SASDER's domestic health-manager convening role.
