In Giresun, an investigation has been launched over a new allegation against Private Ada Hospital, which had come to the agenda with the claim that a patient previously discharged with suspected heart attack went into cardiac arrest minutes later. It was alleged that a person said to work as a cleaner at the hospital participated in surgeries and intervened in patients like a doctor and surgical nurse. It was learned that following the complaint made to CİMER, the Giresun Provincial Health Directorate launched an examination into the matter.
Giresun Private Ada Hospital has come to the agenda this time with the claim that a person who was alleged to have no medical training or authorization to work as a healthcare professional participated in surgeries.
"HAS BEEN ENTERING SURGERIES FOR A LONG TIME" CLAIM
According to the claim, the person, stated to have worked as a cleaning staff member at the hospital, had been entering surgeries for a long time and intervening with patients like a doctor and surgical nurse. It was alleged that the person in question performed procedures outside their job description, and that other healthcare workers' names were used in patient records.
REFLECTED IN PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS, COMPLAINED TO CİMER
It was stated that the images subject to the allegations appeared in videos the hospital shot for promotional purposes and shared on its social media accounts. It was learned that a citizen who watched the images filed a complaint with CİMER, also adding the person's photos and video recordings at the hospital to the application.
Following the application, it was reported that the Giresun Provincial Health Directorate made determinations regarding the allegations and launched an investigation.
IT HAD PREVIOUSLY COME TO THE AGENDA WITH A HEART ATTACK CLAIM
The same hospital had previously come to the agenda with the claim that Salih Aydın, who applied to the emergency department with a suspected heart attack, worsened within minutes after being discharged and his heart stopped.
According to the claim of the patient's relatives, Aydın, who worsened in his vehicle shortly after leaving the hospital, had a cardiac arrest, and Aydın was brought back to the same hospital this time with a "red code." The patient was given electric shocks and CPR, then emergency angioplasty was performed and a stent was inserted, and Aydın was placed under treatment in intensive care.
INVESTIGATION PERMISSION HAD BEEN ISSUED BY THE MINISTRY
The family applied to the competent institutions, claiming that the evaluation and intervention made in the initial application were insufficient. Upon the application, the file prepared within the scope of the preliminary examination conducted by the Ministry of Health was evaluated by the Professional Liability Board of Health Professionals.
In the letter dated February 25, 2026 from the General Directorate of Health Services of the Ministry of Health, it was reported that as a result of the preliminary examination, it was decided to grant permission for an investigation into the relevant health professional and that the decision was sent to the Giresun Governorate Provincial Health Directorate for the fulfillment of its requirements.
