The Presidency of Communications' Disinformation Combat Center (DMM) made a statement regarding the claim that "a female patient visiting the Bilkent City Hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic was not treated because she was not married."

"SHE WAS EXAMINED AT THE YOUTH CENTER CLINIC BY MISTAKE"

The statement noted that the Youth Center Clinic at the hospital provides health services with the aim of creating an environment where "young people aged 15-24, who are not married and have children, can feel comfortable," and that patients can also benefit from counseling services on women's health at this clinic. It was stated that the 24-year-old female patient applied to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, and during her initial application, it was mistakenly assessed that she was over 25 years old, so she was examined by a physician at the Gynecology Clinic.

"WHEN IT WAS UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE WAS UNDER 25, SHE WAS REFERRED TO THE YOUTH CENTER CLINIC"

It was reported that the female patient, whose complaints were listened to by the physician and whose treatment was planned, was referred to the Youth Center Clinic in the same building for the treatment process when she reapplied for result evaluation due to being under 25 years old.

"REQUESTING A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IS DEFINITELY NOT A PRACTICE"

DMM emphasized that there is absolutely no practice of requesting a marriage certificate from patients during treatment processes and stated that the public should not give credence to baseless claims aimed at manipulating public opinion.

The statement from DMM is as follows;
