In general, the profession of medicine has worked to improve patients and at least relieve their pain. I mean, people always knock on the doctor's door when they get sick. Until recently, the relationship between the doctor and the patient remained dependent on the time of illness and duration of illness. Doctorship is not a profession that should be concerned with the health of not only the patient but the whole society. However, the first priority of doctors should be the protection of society from diseases. The important thing is to correct the conditions that cause the disease to occur. It is necessary to investigate and regulate the conditions of society, family, work and environment. Today, studies conducted in this direction are called health protection. Hygiene is a synthesis of all health-related information in order to protect, promote and maintain a high level of public health and has a wide scope. In this context, for example, if food hygiene is mentioned, the production, storage and consumption of various foods must be carried out in fully sanitary conditions.

Sanitation, in its broadest sense, is a set of principles for the protection, improvement and recovery of human health in the event of deterioration. Again, in the food sector, sanitation in the food sector means the creation and maintenance of clean and healthy conditions in food production. Sanitation in nature, on the other hand, has a broader meaning including preservation of biological balance. In this context, food sanitation means producing food that is chemically, physically and biologically reliable in meeting the nutritional needs that form the basis of human life.

Hygiene is intertwined with sanitation and complements each other. Hygiene refers to all necessary measures to ensure clean, healthy, reliable and high quality conditions at all stages of production.

Hygiene and sanitation inspections are carried out with the aim of ensuring that the enterprises produce in cleaner and hygienic conditions and that consumers rely on the produced foods.

Food hygiene and sanitation inspections and controls are carried out according to the Food Hygiene Regulation issued in 2011 and TS 2003 Hygiene and Sanitation in Food Production Facilities - General Rules published in 13027.

The benefits of hygiene and sanitation examinations can be listed as follows:
