Hospital crisis in Ordu is being brought to court!

Within the scope of the restructuring of health services in Ordu, personnel transfers and temporary assignments from Ordu State Hospital to the City Hospital attracted reaction.

The Physician Association Union announced that it will file a lawsuit against the merger of two hospitals under the regional chief physician's office, requesting a stay of execution and annulment. The union stated that the transfer of staff of endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology and oncology specialists may disrupt the treatment and follow-up processes. In the statement, it was pointed out that it took 45 minutes to an hour to reach the city hospital, and it was claimed that there was a lack of personnel in inpatient treatment and surgery processes.

It was emphasized that elderly and seriously ill patients could be affected. The union reminded that although the City Hospital with 1458 beds was opened in Samsun, the Gazi State Hospital with 350 beds continued its operations and requested that Ordu State Hospital be protected.
