69-year-old retiree will only be able to attend his appointment when he turns 70

Retired citizen İbrahim Örekli went to Bilkent City Hospital in Ankara on January 22.

Following his examination, his doctor deemed it necessary for him to undergo a colonoscopy and endoscopy. The citizen, who applied to "get a date," was given an appointment for January 15, 2025, exactly 359 days later.

Speaking to Sözcü, İbrahim Örekli complained, "I have another year ahead of me. I am 69 years old. Nothing can be done until that date; I will just have to wait. When they told me they were giving me an appointment for a year later, I objected. They said, 'There is nothing we can do, we are sorry.' It wasn't just me; they were scheduling other patients there for January and February of 2025 as well. They say a lot of progress has been made in the healthcare system. Where is it?"
