It has been alleged that a person, who is claimed to be a cleaning staff member at a private hospital in Giresun, participated in surgeries without authorization. Zafer Party Giresun Provincial Chair Mesut Aydın and lawyer Ertuğrul Genç announced that the allegations have been conveyed to the Ministry of Health.
It was claimed that the person seen in footage allegedly filmed at the hospital is not a doctor and works as cleaning staff at the facility. Aydın stated that they began gathering information following reports received approximately 3-4 months ago, and that they did not make a public statement in the initial phase because they had not reached sufficient evidence.
Aydın stated that they received information from the hospital, citizens, and patients' relatives during the process, and that he conveyed the matter to Minister of Health Kemal Memişoğlu. Aydın said, "As a result, we reached our Minister of Health. I personally conveyed the situation to our Minister of Health."
According to Aydın's statement, Minister Memişoğlu gave instructions to the Giresun Provincial Health Directorate. Aydın also expressed their demands regarding the hospital's operations with the words, "Our demand is for this hospital to be closed."
Lawyer Ertuğrul Genç claimed that the person in question has been participating in surgeries for many years and alleged that the footage has been published on various social media accounts. Genç used the expressions, "This is a very grave situation; it is unacceptable."
Genç stated that it should be investigated which surgeries the person was present for and what the outcomes of those surgeries were. It was noted that citizens who believe they have suffered grievances due to the surgeries can apply to the prosecutor's office and the Ministry of Health.
Allegations regarding the hospital's physical conditions and hygiene practices were also brought to the agenda in the statements. Genç claimed that they had previously applied to the Provincial Health Directorate on the grounds of fire regulations, that health services continued during renovations, and that baby incubators intended for reuse were left covered in dust and dirt.
